On September 12, the PEC 2026 AI Innovators Conference, coupled with the 3rd Prompt Engineering Summit, unfolded in Beijing under the theme “Win Tokens, Win the World”. This gathering drew together leading experts, scholars, corporate representatives, and seasoned practitioners from the AI landscape to delve into a range of topics, including state-of-the-art models, Token factories, localized AI solutions, AI-native applications, and the pivotal role of Frontier Deployment Engineers (FDEs).

During the conference, the unveiling of the 2026 Global Token Industry Panorama and the 2026 Global Artificial Intelligence Outlook Report took place. Additionally, the launch of the FDE Acceleration Program and Capability Mapping Research was announced, marking significant strides in the field.

Participants highlighted that the rapid evolution of model capabilities is outpacing the dissemination of technology across industries, resulting in a notable disparity between the potential of models and the actual application experiences. Tokens, they noted, are emerging as a crucial resource within the AI industry, with anticipated future trends such as enterprise-level multi-agents and video generation poised to substantially boost Token consumption.

Moreover, the conference underscored the significance of deploying AI locally and the instrumental role of FDEs in aligning the technological prowess of large models with the tangible business requirements of enterprises.
