openKylin 3.0 debuts at the Digital Expo, focusing on building an open source operating system ecosystem for the AI era.
The 2026 China International Big Data Industry Expo (referred to as the "Big Data Expo") was held in Guiyang from August 27 to 30. openKylin, a leading open-source root community for intelligent operating systems, showcased its next-generation operating system at the expo through various forms such as thematic forums, keynote speeches, and booth interactions, highlighting its technological strength and ecological advantages in the field of open-source basic software, attracting widespread attention from guests and media.
Open source is the underlying logic of digital technology innovation, and operating systems are the core foundation of the digital intelligence industry. During the Big Data Expo, a thematic exchange activity titled "AI Empowering Open Source Innovation and Digital Intelligence Integration" was held at the Guiyang International Ecological Conference Center, co-organized by the Nanming District People's Government of Guiyang, Kylinsoft Co., Ltd., and the openKylin community, with support from the CCF Open Source Development Technical Committee.
The activity closely followed the main theme of the Big Data Expo's big data innovation and development, using open source as a link to focus on the collaborative development of AI and domestic basic software. It brought together government leaders, open-source experts, research institutions, universities, and industry chain partners to conduct in-depth exchanges on industry research, academic collaboration, technological innovation, and ecological implementation.Mei Hong, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Director of the CCF Ubiquitous Operating System Community Management CommitteeIn his speech,emphasized that the open-source community should "participate and integrate, accumulate momentum and lead", and pointed out thatopen source is the main path for the development of information technology and its industrial system.Open-source communities represented by the openKylin community are deeply integrated with the industrial ecosystem, continuously making breakthroughs in areas such as terminal adaptation, computing power scheduling, and scenario implementation, accumulating solid industrial practical experience for the technological innovation and self-reliance of China's ubiquitous operating systems.
Chen Haizhao, Deputy Mayor of Guiyang Municipal People's Governmentstated that Guiyang Gui'an is not only a provider of computing power but also hopes to serve as a "testing ground" for open-source technologies and a "transformation hub" for digital intelligence achievements.Xiang Biao, Deputy Director of the Guizhou Provincial Big Data Development Administrationexpressed Guizhou's willingness to gather innovation forces with the spirit of open source and create a bright future through digital intelligence integration, from three aspects: collaborative efforts in building the open-source ecosystem, deepening and expanding digital intelligence integration applications, and advancing together in cultivating digital intelligence talents.Kong Jinzhu, General Manager of Kylinsoftstated that Kylinsoft is fully committed to building the openKylin open-source community, continuously promoting the technological iteration and ecological prosperity of the desktop operating system root community, and transforming the community's innovation achievements into reliability and security that customers can perceive. The newly released openKylin 3.0, as China's first distribution based on the Linux 7.0 kernel, makes AI capabilities natively ready at the operating system level, providing efficient and secure enabling support for upper-layer applications.
Liu Min, Executive Director of the openKylin Communitydelivereda keynote report titled "Foundation Iteration, Wisdom New Journey — Introduction to openKylin 3.0". The report, based on the mission and vision of openKylin, reviewed the community's development achievements and detailed the core features of openKylin 3.0:openKylin 3.0 is built on the Linux 7.0 kernel, completing cross-generation upgrades of over 180 core components,keeping pace with international cutting-edge technologies; UKUI 4.24 adds air gestures,revolutionizing the user experience; the system evolves intelligently, building an open intelligent agent base; expanding full-scenario application capabilities, extending from desktop intelligence to mobile terminals, servers, and other fields.
Li Yingjun, openKylin X-TeeOS SIG Maintainerdelivereda keynote report titled "Kernel Evolution Roadmap for Mobile Intelligent Connection Scenarios — Kylin 100 Dual-Core Dual-System Design". The report introduced the Kylin 100 intelligent connection operating system built on openKylin, adopting a dual-core, dual-architecture design, compatible with the mature Linux software and hardware ecosystem, achieving security isolation through hardware virtualization, building a trusted kernel based on RUST, and promoting the evolution of openKylin toward security, trustworthiness, and intelligent collaboration, adapting to emerging mobile intelligent connection scenarios.
Wu Wei, Ambassador of the RISC-V International Foundation and Co-founder of Shanghai Kuya Technology Co., Ltd.delivereda keynote report titled "Ecosystem Construction of Embodied Intelligent Humanoid Robots Based on openKylin". The report interpreted the conceptual evolution and industrial value of embodied intelligence, pointing out that openKylin has excellent openness and adaptability, serving as a core open base for the field of embodied intelligence. Kuya Technology deeply participates in community co-construction and has completed the adaptation verification of openKylin on real robots with industry chain partners. In the future, all parties will rely on the openKylin open-source base to deepen industrial collaboration and cross-scenario cooperation, accelerating the large-scale and intelligent upgrade of the humanoid robot industry.
Ren Wei, openKylin ZephyrProject SIG Maintainerdelivereda keynote report titled "Zephyr's Decade: The Evolution of a World-Class Embedded Operating System and Its Implementation in the Open Source Community", reviewing Zephyr's ten-year development history and global achievements, and introducing the future plan for the Kylin industrial operating system. openKylin will leverage the Zephyr and Linux open-source ecosystems to create an industrial operating system base with inherent security, real-time reliability, multi-domain isolation, and on-demand customization for scenarios such as industry and embodied intelligence, enhancing end-side AI and modular platform capabilities, reducing industry customization development costs, and providing multi-scenario intelligent solutions.
The value of open-source technology is ultimately reflected in talent cultivation and industry implementation. At the event, a openKylin university station accreditation ceremonywas held, with Guizhou University, Guizhou Institute of Technology, Guiyang University, Guizhou University of Commerce, Guizhou Light Industry Vocational University, Guizhou Vocational College of Water Resources and Hydropower, Guizhou Aerospace Vocational and Technical College, and Bijie Vocational and Technical College participating. The openKylin open-source talent cultivation base was officially established in Guizhou. Partner universities will leverage existing teaching resources to build open-source practice platforms, cultivate local open-source talents in a targeted manner, and fill the regional digital industry talent gap.
At the China Electronics booth in the Guiyang Big Data Expo International Conference and Exhibition Center, the newly released openKylin 3.0 made its debut with multiple hardware terminals,The embodied intelligent humanoid robotdisplayed in the exhibition area,was jointly adapted by openKylin in collaboration with the OpenLoong open-source community, Chaorui Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Shanghai Kuya Technology Co., Ltd., Kylinsoft Co., Ltd., and the Haihe Laboratory of Advanced Computing and Key Software, successfully verifying core functions such as bipedal stable walking and perception interaction, laying a solid open-source technology foundation for the industrialization of humanoid robots. During the event,it received extensive media coverage and high recognition from attending guests.
This Big Data Expo is not only a concentrated display of openKylin's technical achievements but also a new starting point for open-source ecosystem co-construction. In the future, openKylin will continue to deepen technological innovation in AI-native operating systems, collaborate with governments, universities, and industry partners to expand more application scenarios, and empower the high-quality development of domestic basic software and intelligent hardware industries.
