$$\text{Natural Language} \xrightarrow{\mathcal{M}$${\text{NL2Design}}} \text{Design Prototype} \xrightarrow{\mathcal{M}{\text{Design2Code}}} \text{Runnable Code}

Input Example:

"Create an e-commerce product detail page with a product carousel,
pricing info, specification selector, and buy-it-now button,
overall minimalist style with deep blue as the primary color"

Output:

• Figma/Sketch format design files
• React/Vue component code
• CSS/Tailwind styles
• Responsive layout adaptation

5. Huawei BeeHive Agent: Multi-Agent Collaboration

5.1 Core Concept

BeeHive Agent is Huawei’s open-source multi-agent collaboration framework, inspired by the self-organizing behavior of bee colonies, achieving “collaborative engineering breaking the limits of single agents”.

5.2 BeeHive Collaboration Model

5.3 Mathematical Model

The pheromone mechanism in the swarm can be described by:

$$\tau_{ij}(t+1) = (1-\rho) \cdot \tau_{ij}(t) + \sum_{k=1}^{n} \Delta\tau_{ij}^{(k)}$$

Where:

• $\tau_{ij}$: Pheromone concentration from task $i$ to task $j$
• $\rho$: Pheromone evaporation rate ($\rho \in [0,1]$)
• $\Delta\tau_{ij}^{(k)}$: Pheromone increment left by agent $k$

Collaboration Effectiveness Evaluation:

$$E_{\text{collab}} = \frac{P_{\text{swarm}}}{\sum_{i=1}^{n} P_{\text{single}}^{(i)}}$$

Experimental results show $E_{\text{collab}} \approx 1.5$, meaning collaborative effectiveness is 50% higher than the simple sum of individual agents.

6. Odyssey World Model: A New Era of Multimodal Interaction

6.1 Breakthrough Overview

The real-time multimodal world model released by the Odyssey team is the first system capable of generating interactive world simulations with synchronized sound feedback, marking a critical step toward general world simulators.

6.2 System Architecture

6.3 Multimodal Generation Formula

The joint generation of the Odyssey model can be expressed as:

$$P(\mathbf{v}$$t, \mathbf{a}t | \mathbf{v}{<t}, \mathbf{a}{<t}, \text{text}) = P(\mathbf{v}_t | \cdot) \cdot P(\mathbf{a}_t | \mathbf{v}_t, \cdot)

Where:

• $\mathbf{v}_t$: Visual output at frame $t$
• $\mathbf{a}_t$: Audio output at frame $t$
• $\text{text}$: Text instruction

6.4 Real-time Performance Metrics
