Xiaomi has released a new voice AI model, the MiDashengLM-7B, to the public to improve technology in cars and smart home devices, Bloomberg reports.
The new model is based on Xiaomi's own voice platform, which is already used in cars and smart home devices, with the integration of Alibaba Group's open-source Qwen2.5-Omni-7B model. The company posted development details and benchmark tests on its WeChat account.
Xiaomi is actively developing new business areas outside of its core smartphone production, with electric vehicles quickly becoming a priority segment. At the same time, investment in the development of artificial intelligence has become a priority for the entire Chinese technology sector.
Many leading Chinese companies are choosing an open-source strategy for their AI developments to attract more customers. Major internet giants from Alibaba to Tencent Holdings have released various models capable of processing images, video and audio in recent months, competing with solutions from OpenAI and Google.
The development of artificial intelligence has become a strategic priority for both the United States and China, with President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping emphasizing the need to ensure their countries' leadership in this area.
