Xiaomi Boosts AI Capabilities with New GPU Cluster
Chinese tech giant Xiaomi is ramping up its investment in artificial intelligence (AI) by constructing its own GPU cluster, as reported by Chinese media outlet Jiemian. The company's AI model team, established in April 2023, started with 6,500 GPU resources. Xiaomi's CEO Lei Jun highlighted the company's dedication to AI, showcasing its AI Lab, Xiao Ai voice assistant, and autonomous driving teams during the team's formation announcement. At a later event in 2023, Lei elaborated on the progress of Xiaomi's AI models, focusing on lightweight, locally deployable solutions.
Xiaomi has successfully executed a large AI model with 1.3 billion parameters on its smartphones, achieving performance levels comparable to cloud-based models with 6 billion parameters in certain scenarios. Notably, on December 20, Luo Fuli, a key developer of the DeepSeek-V2 open-source model, joined Xiaomi's AI Lab to spearhead the company's efforts in large models. Since its inception in 2016, Xiaomi's AI division has grown to over 3,000 members, with expertise spanning various AI domains such as vision, speech, natural language processing, machine learning, and multimodal AI.
These diverse capabilities are being integrated into Xiaomi's range of products, including mobile phones, cars, AIoT devices, and robots.
