Baidu AI Cloud proposes industry agent operating system to push AI into core business scenarios

At the 2026 Smart Economy Forum, Baidu AI Cloud proposed an "industry agent operating system" intended to organize agents together with enterprises' data, knowledge, processes, and cloud resources, moving AI beyond office scenarios into production, R&D, risk control, and business decision-making. Baidu AI Cloud President Shen Dou said agents could help translate advances in model capabilities into enterprise operating results and ultimately economic value. The article also cites Alt's aerodynamic drag design as an example, where the decision-making agent Famou was connected to a CFD simulation system and, after 120 rounds of evolution, reduced a single drag evaluation to seconds.
