The 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) continued on July 18th. The number of participating companies from Guangdong has surged from 60 in 2024 to more than 140 in 2026, forming a comprehensive industrial ecosystem spanning computing chips, large AI models, embodied intelligence and industry applications.

At one of the conference forums, HUYA CEO Junhong Huang unveiled the company's self-developed VAM 1.0, a real-time multimodal digital human model. Its capabilities can be summed up in one sentence: given a single still image, VAM can create a virtual human that can speak, listen and respond in real time, with every frame generated online rather than pre-rendered or prerecorded.

Making its WAIC debut, Guangzhou-based Quwan Technology has built a complete product chain encompassing TemPolor, its multimodal music-generation foundation model; Tunee, its conversational music-creation agent; and TemPolor Melo-D, the world's first generative AI guitar. Long lines formed at the company's booth as visitors eagerly tried out Tunee 3.0, which can take users through the entire creative process, from writing a song to producing a finished music video, using simple conversational prompts.

At the Li-Gong Industrial booth, multiple LeadIn F1 wheeled humanoid robots worked as a coordinated team, repeatedly demonstrating complete workflows for smart retail, intelligent sorting, material handling and smart warehousing. At the scene, the robots were seen performing their respective tasks at different workstations: one precisely picked products from shelves, another sorted them by category in the sorting area, while a third moved steadily along a planned route toward a replenishment station. Every step of the process was seamlessly coordinated.

Kingsoft Office, meanwhile, placed the spotlight on two AI office agents: Lingxi Pro for individual users and WPS Comate for organizations. Together, they are designed to move AI beyond "being able to chat" to "being able to deliver." A staff member asked the computer to create a PowerPoint presentation on Q2 sales data. Within seconds, the system produced a neatly formatted, fully editable presentation complete with charts and graphics.

140余家企业参展，广东“AI军团”亮剑WAIC

7月18日，2026世界人工智能大会（WAIC）继续举行。记者留意到，广东参展企业从2024年的60家跃升至今年的140余家，形成覆盖算力芯片、大模型、具身智能、行业应用的完整产业矩阵。

大会论坛上，虎牙公司CEO黄俊洪发布了自研的实时多模态数字人VAM 1.0。VAM的能力用一句话即可概括：“给它一张静态照片，它给你一个能实时说话、实时聆听、实时反应的虚拟人。不是预渲染，不是录播，是每一帧都在线生成。”

作为首次参展的广州企业，趣丸科技已构建起从多模态音乐大模型“天谱乐”，到对话式音乐创作智能体“Tunee”，再到天谱乐AI吉他的完整产业链。观众在展位前排起长队，争相体验Tunee 3.0通过聊天对话就能完成从写歌到MV成片的全流程。

在里工实业展位，多台轮式人形机器人“里掂F1”组成协同作业班组，正循环演示智慧零售、智能分拣、物料搬运与智能仓储的全流程。记者现场看到，机器人在不同工位间各司其职：一台从货架精准抓取商品，另一台在分拣区完成品类归类，还有一台沿着规划路径平稳驶向补货点位——整个流程环环相扣。

金山办公展位则重点展示了两款AI办公智能体——面向个人的“灵犀专业版”和面向组织的“WPS Comate”：让AI从“会聊天”进入“能交付”。工作人员对着电脑说“帮我做一个关于Q2销售数据的PPT”，几秒后便产出了一份排版工整、图表齐全、可继续编辑的PPT。
