Baidu’s Shen Dou Proposes ‘Industry Agent OS’ at Smart Economy Forum

The pitch reframes agents as infrastructure rather than features, which matters because it shifts the competitive question from model benchmarks to who controls the layer where industry-specific agents are built and deployed. The general/professional/custom split is a taxonomy, not a product, so the substance is still thin. What's worth watching is whether an operating-system framing translates into actual developer tooling or stays a forum-stage concept.
