PHYSIX OBSERVATION

The new model first rolled out in a gray release on Xiaoyi Work with all parameters undisclosed, indicating Huawei is using its own office scenario for closed testing rather than a broad release to developers. The legacy models are about to be taken offline, and the openPangu iteration cadence has clearly accelerated, but the paid threshold and Beta status mean ordinary users will struggle to get a stable experience in the near term; a wait-and-see approach is advisable.
