2026年1月8日，知名AI科学家与投资人、曾任微软与谷歌全球副总裁的李开复（Kai-Fu Lee）在其个人公众号发布文章，深入剖析了当前AI的发展态势与 未来方向。 他指出，2025年是"重塑"之年。对大模型初创企业来说，这既是最坏的时代，也是最好的时代。巨头在基座模型赛道已形成寡头竞争，初创公司的生存空 间日趋逼仄；然而，AI 2.0也正加速产业智能化转型，大模型技术不再悬浮于实验室，而已深入田间地头与工厂车间。企业的关注点正从"是否投资AI"切 实转向"如何用好AI"。 李开复认为，这一转变的核心动力源于"推理AI智能体元年"的到来。如今的智能体不再是机械执行指令的工具，而是能够理解任务、自主规划并交付完整 成果的生产力单元。它正从原子层面重塑生产力：单智能体实现具体任务的智能化，多智能体则可将企业顶尖人才的专业能力封装为可复用、可组合的业 务资产，从而突破传统"招聘-培养-流失"的人才循环限制，让中小企业也能获得与行业巨头同台竞技的"弹性能力"。 展望2026年，他判断这将是中国企业多智能体"上岗"元年。智能体将从工具层级升维为"AI团队"，实现从"一人一工具"到"一人一团队"的跨越。人与AI的 边界 ...
