线下看过装上全部配件的vivo新机X300后，3月末刚购买了同品牌X200 Pro手机的康女士发出一阵感慨，"我好像有点不认识手机了"。 一枚装在手机后置长焦镜头位置、伸出一大截的增距镜形似迷你"大炮"，非常抢眼，和康女士口袋里相对轻薄的传统手机模样大不相同。 10月13日晚间，vivo召开新品发布会正式推出X300系列，那枚让康女士感到新鲜的增距镜作为配件随摄影套装同步发售：vivo X300起售价4399元，Pro版的 起售价5299元，包含2.35倍长焦增距镜的专业影像手柄套装定价1499元。 这是vivo第二次推出带有增距镜外设的摄影套装，首次推出是在4月的X200 Ultra机型上。值得注意的是，10月的新套装不再是顶配专属，vivo官方客服向北 京商报记者解释称，标准版和Pro版都会有各自的套装，但目前只开放了10月底的Pro版预售，标准版据悉要等到11月。 康女士告诉北京商报记者，当时因为预算原因放弃Ultra（有官方套装）选择了Pro（没有套装），现在来看X200 Pro或许会成为最后一款不带外设的vivo旗 舰系列。 vivo这边的发布周期尚未结束，行业竞逐的信号已紧随而至——10月13日上 ...

这标志着，真正懂"我"的个人化AI，正从蓝图照进现实。 模型大突破： 从公共服务到个人专属 在"Agent元年"，不仅大模型正被赋予更强能力，在支持端侧运行的手机层面，大模型落地进展也正全方位加速。 手机中运行个人化专属Agent，看起来越来越近了。 2025年vivo开发者大会上，一个清晰的信号被释放：AI大模型领域竞争正从技术参数的比拼，转向对用户个体深度理解的角逐。 vivo副总裁、OS产品副总裁周围宣布，端侧模型小型化取得显著进展，vivo构建了全球首个专为端侧Agent（智能体）构建的3B（30亿规模）模型，除语 言外，该端侧模型还具备多模态、推理、长文本、面向UI Agent等五大能力优势。 过去两三年AI大模型飞速发展进程中，手机侧虽然能够搭载云侧和端侧不同规模模型，但真正让大众可以感知并且常用的功能十分有限，且在绝大部分 场景下，手机中运行的大模型都需要调用云端资源来完成。 这显著影响到了AI大模型在手机上的使用体验。而将端侧模型小型化，也即让更小规模但具备足够能力的模型，能够在手机中独立运行而不依赖云端资 源，就成为其中必然命题。 本次开发者大会期间，vivo专门针对用户个性化需求，推出了体 ...
