Xiaomi HyperOS: devices are able to understand user intentions
In the era ofInternet of Things, connectivity and integration of functionality between devices is essential; Xiaomi HyperOS goes a step further by incorporating an AI subsystem that supports advanced AI technologies, allowing devices to proactively assist users.
HyperMind is the cognitive center of the Xiaomi device ecosystem, bringing cutting-edge connections between devices in the era of “proactive intelligence”. This allows devices to proactively understand user needs and act accordingly. HyperMind uses the four perceptual capabilities of devices – environment, vision, sound and behavior – to learn user needs and automatically adapt devices to their needs. For example, if a user always turns on the living room light after unlocking the smart door lock, HyperMind will automatically light the room after learning this pattern and asking for user consent. This innovation simplifies complex connectivity between devices and reduces the cost of traditional machine learning, allowing users to enjoy the convenience of device connectivity without having to understand intricate logic understanding or activation mechanisms.
I.A.
Xiaomi HyperOS uses large base models, allowing them to power system applications. Xiaomi AI Assistant now allows direct access to the text generation capabilities of the base models via its user interface, making tasks such as speech generation and summary of articles. The real-time captioning feature has been improved to transcribe video conference conversations into intelligent meeting notes and summaries. Furthermore, users can use voice phrases to search for images in their photo albums and create AI images based on existing portraits; the tablet version of the “Mi Canvas” app has been equipped with an AI brush capable of transforming random doodles into refined works of art; Furthermore, third-party applications can exploit the potential of the AI subsystemsuch as understanding documents through WPS screens or generating presentations with a single command.
To efficiently implement thelarge foundation models‘, Xiaomi HyperOS leverages its AI subsystem to integrate them into the device’s NPU. This support extends to the large foundation models developed by Xiaomi on smartphones, such as the imaging foundation model, which reduced model size and memory usage by 75% and decreased the drawing time from 100 seconds to just 5 seconds1. These improved image generation capabilities are already powering features like “Text to Image” e “Image Extender” of Xiaomi’s AI assistant in the device’s photo albums.
