MediaTek bets on "agentization"

On May 13, at the MediaTek Dimensity Developer Conference, a set of data was released: the global volume of autonomous agent tasks has rapidly surged from 120 million times daily in 2025 to 870 million times daily in 2026.
This explosive growth, nearly sevenfold, reflects that the trend toward intelligent terminal agents is now irreversible.
MediaTek Director, General Manager and COO Chen Guanzhou pointed out that agent AI is restructuring and upgrading more and more industries and application scenarios.
Against this background, traditional hardware design patterns can no longer meet the high-frequency, all-time environment sensing demands of the agent era.
Therefore, MediaTek officially released the Dimensity AI Agent Engine 2.0.
It is reported that, relying on Dimensity SensingClaw technology, this engine aims to provide low-power, all-time sensing capabilities, enabling device manufacturers to create Agent OS equipped with proactive sensing and cross-app driving abilities.
On this basis, MediaTek also launched the Dimensity AI Developer Kit 3.0, upgrading end-side agent full-modal abilities and speeding up the deployment of agent applications on the end side.
Dimensity AI Developer Kit 3.0 boasts four main features: · Support for LVM model visual deployment; Added Low Bit compression toolkit; Added eNPU development toolkit; · Added Dimensity AI Partner.
According to official MediaTek data, over the past three years, the scale of Dimensity AI ecosystem partners has grown by 240%, and kit downloads have increased by 440%.
At the conference, MediaTek announced the system-native Claw developed in collaboration with OPPO, Xiaomi, and Transsion, whose key features are proactive sensing, proactive execution, seamless cross-device transfer, as well as end-side privacy protection and data security.
In the previous software ecosystem, users had to frequently switch manually between various independent apps.
The Doubao phone assistant and Open Claw since 2025 have shown a new paradigm for reshaping human-computer interaction. However, hampered by firewalls among independent apps and user privacy and security issues, this paradigm has not been widely promoted on the end side.
Next, how terminal manufacturers rely on the end-side AI computing power advantages of chip makers like MediaTek, to further reduce interaction latency, improve intelligent decision-making accuracy, and truly bring proactive human-computer interaction from concept to an everyday experience, will be an important task.
In the age of agents, chip giants’ competitiveness has already shifted from solely hardware benchmarks to a comprehensive competition of ecosystem stickiness.
It’s not difficult to see that chip giants are using underlying “agent” technologies to deconstruct the traditional mobile application ecosystem and operating system silos, comprehensively transforming from pure SoC hardware vendors selling computing power into the “invisible infrastructure” for next-generation AI interaction.
The struggle for terminal interaction control rights is entering deeper waters.
When native system-level agents completely dismantle the traditional app ecosystem, vendors able to provide stable, all-time, low-power intelligent infrastructure will capture top-level dividends.
