Huawei forecast that autonomous AI agents will account for more than 90 percent of global AI token traffic by 2035 and that annual token consumption will rise 100,000-fold from current levels. It said the spread of AI agents would sharply boost demand for computing and network infrastructure. Huawei also projected about 900 billion AI agents would be operating worldwide by 2035 and outlined 10 key technology directions to support them.

A global AI assessment body said South Korea has quickly risen to become one of the world’s top three AI countries on the back of its sovereign foundation model project. Artificial Analysis said South Korean models still lag top U.S. and Chinese models on intelligence, but competitiveness should not be judged by scores alone given large cost gaps and the flexibility of open-weight models. It said South Korea should focus on strengths such as advanced manufacturing while continuing to develop general-purpose capabilities, including AI for science, agents and coding.
