Lei Jun: The Future Main Breakthrough Direction of Xiaomi's Large Model Technology is 'Lightweight and Local Deployment'


Xiaomi updates Super Xiao Ai to version 7.8.50, adding the 'Random Photo Editing' feature. Users can use natural language instructions to let the AI model automatically edit photos, supporting multimodal interaction to recognize screen and camera images. The operation methods include waking up Xiao Ai in the album or uploading photos via the App and inputting text, allowing the system to automatically complete color enhancement, background blur, and other processing.
On November 12, AI Prodigy "Luo Fuli" announced her joining of Xiaomi on WeChat Moments, expressing her excitement for future work. She emphasized her commitment to advancing AI from language to the physical world, and working with her team to build Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Previously, the rumors about her joining had attracted widespread attention.
In the first three quarters of 2025, China's smart speaker sales reached 10.54 million units, and the annual sales may reach 14.2 million. However, the industry faces a critical challenge: only 33% of devices are equipped with AI large models, and nearly 70% still rely on basic voice interaction, indicating insufficient popularization of intelligence. The high-end market was driven by "Super Xiaoai," with large models becoming a new selling point.
