No setup, no maintenance: Honor's YOYO Claw technology empowers 'shrimp farming notebooks' ready to use right out of the box

April 13, 2026, Xi'an, China – Honor held a technical communication session and officially launched its self-developed terminal-side 'Lobster' AI agent – YOYO Claw. It was announced that this technology will debut in the Honor MagicBook series of lightweight notebooks, creating an entirely new category called the 'Lobster Raising Notebook'.

Currently, the 'Lobster-style' AI track presents a multi-party competitive and cooperative situation represented by model manufacturers, internet companies, and terminal manufacturers. Each party explores different paths based on their own strengths. Among them, Honor, as a representative of terminal manufacturers, has carved out a unique path thanks to its deep understanding of user habits, hardware computing power, and system-level integration capabilities. By focusing on system-level pre-configuration, end-cloud collaboration, and end-side prioritized intelligent routing algorithms, Honor is creating 'Lobster' AI terminal products truly suitable for the general public.

Amidst the wave of tokenomics, Honor innovates at the terminal level to respond to national strategies

According to the latest data from the National Data Bureau, China’s daily average token usage has surpassed 140 trillion, growing over a thousandfold in two years. 'Tokens' have been officially defined as the value anchor and settlement unit of the intelligent era. Under the guidance of the national Artificial Intelligence Plus initiative, how to convert massive token productivity into tangible, affordable daily services for ordinary users has become the core proposition for industrial implementation.

Verified by Honor Lab based on the PinchBench test set, compared to the OpenClaw solution, Honor YOYO Claw achieves a 50% reduction in overall token consumption, significantly lowering the long-term usage costs for users of lobster-like AI. Additionally, Honor YOYO Claw establishes device-level independent security protection, ensuring that all core data and privacy remain 100% local to the device. The release of Honor YOYO Claw technology represents the latest achievement in Honor's 'Lobster Universe,' not only creating a new category of 'Lobster PC' within the industry but also showcasing Honor's continuous exploration and innovative breakthroughs in the AI era.

Set to make its global debut, the 'Shrimp Keeper,' putting an end to the three major pain points of 'lobster' applications on end-user devices.

The soon-to-be-released Honor MagicBook series 'Shrimp Keeper' is the first carrier of Honor YOYO Claw technology. It does not merely integrate but fundamentally resolves the three long-standing issues faced by traditional AI agents: complex deployment and setup, high usage costs, and privacy security risks.

Ready to use upon startup,告别 complex configurations: Honor has deeply optimized AI agents (five main shrimps and 23 sub-shrimps) deeply pre-installed into the system, covering five major scenarios: education, office work, academia, content creation, and intelligent assistance. Users do not need to learn; after logging in by scanning a QR code, they can directly access these features through everyday tools like WeChat and Feishu. The AI can clearly explain its capabilities and possesses autonomous evolution abilities, continuously learning users’ documents and styles as it is used, becoming increasingly user-friendly, like having a digital colleague with clear functions who keeps growing.

Save from the source,告别 token anxiety: The core lies in intelligently determining where tasks should be executed. Simple, high-frequency, and local operation-related tasks are 100% completed on the device side, with zero token consumption; cloud computing power is only invoked when necessary, and efficiency for every cloud call is maximized through optimizations such as context refinement and memory matching, eliminating waste at the source.

Device-level protection,告别 security concerns: Honor has built a device-level protection system centered around the 'Independent Security Shrimp.' It not only monitors all AI operations but also automatically intercepts high-risk actions such as formatting hard drives and reinstalling systems. For sensitive operations (such as payment logins, opening cameras, and sending files outside the workspace), it requires users to confirm twice. All core data processing and personal memory are completed locally on the device, fulfilling the reliable promise of 'full capability openness, zero sensitive data uploaded to the cloud.'

Multi-device integration, one shrimp for multiple uses, creating an AI digital assistant for the whole family.

Honor YOYO Claw is not just a personal digital assistant but also delivers a revolutionary multi-device integration and one-shrimp-for-multiple-uses experience. With just one PC installed with various lobsters at home, all family members can remotely interact with and control these lobsters via smartphones, tablets, etc., with all family-related memory data stored on the PC, enabling full-family interaction.

In this family-interaction mode, multiple family members can share one PC while maintaining individual dedicated and independent shrimp experiences, covering various household scenarios: automatic recognition and printing of homework from class groups, one-click organization of wrong questions to generate targeted practice; long-term archiving of health reports, cross-time health risk analysis, and timely medication reminders; meal planning, unified file and photo management, and monitoring of children’s tablet usage time—all truly achieving comprehensive coverage of learning, living, and health needs with one versatile shrimp.

The Honor YOYO Claw can accumulate long-term learning and health data for the entire family, forming a traceable lifelong family archive. This is not only about sharing AI capabilities but also represents a significant upgrade by Honor in 'near-field to far-field, device interconnection to capability sharing'.

Open ecosystem co-creation, building a seamless intelligent experience

Adhering to the concept of open co-creation, the Honor YOYO Claw ecosystem includes self-developed premium products and open, compatible industry skills. It connects all parties through the Lobster Community, aiming to build an intelligent service ecosystem covering all scenarios with developers and partners.

The Honor YOYO Claw technology and the upcoming Honor 'Shrimp Book' are not only Honor's active response to the national token economy and 'Artificial Intelligence+' strategy but also a key implementation of the Lobster Universe ecosystem concept. It is more than just a hardware product; it is a new AI species that integrates a deep AI framework, an open ecosystem, and scenario-based services.

Honor has always believed that the core of artificial intelligence is 'people-oriented.' The release of the Honor YOYO Claw technology turns this concept into reality—bringing AI from the cloud into households, transforming it from a technical concept into an everyday companion. Looking ahead, Honor hopes that everyone will have their own 'shrimp,' helping ordinary consumers understand and adapt to AI capabilities in advance when the AI wave arrives, reducing societal anxiety, and accumulating their own digital assets. Honor is taking practical actions to promote AI serving everyone safely, conveniently, and economically, working together with the industry towards an intelligent future.

The Honor PC family sees a full-scale boom, leading industry innovation with two major categories.

The Honor PC family is experiencing a full-scale boom, with the 'Shrimp Book' Honor MagicBook series and the 'Gaming Beast Book' Honor WIN gaming laptop series working in synergy to define a new standard for PC experiences. As the performance leader in the PC lineup, the all-new Honor WIN gaming laptop makes its debut, focusing on thermal innovation to redefine gaming laptop performance limits, achieving an extreme power output of 270W for gamers. The Honor WIN gaming laptop features the Tail Thrust Cooling Engine, the industry’s first '2 centrifugal main fans + 4 axial auxiliary fans' hybrid cooling system, which builds a highly efficient and compact cooling architecture within a 21mm ultra-thin chassis, breaking free from traditional cooling limitations. Under the configuration of a 5070Ti graphics card, it achieves up to 270W full-power release, ensuring smooth gameplay for large AAA titles without lag or overheating concerns.

The two new product series focus on two core tracks: AI intelligence and ultimate performance, addressing diverse needs across different user groups, forming a full-scenario, high-performance, and intelligent PC product matrix.
