Xiaomi is reportedly developing a new intelligent Q&A assistant named “Mi Chat,” as detailed in a recent post by the WeChat public account “Du Jia.” The leak suggests that the initial version of the product has already been completed.
This consumer-facing application is expected to demonstrate Xiaomi’s increasing proficiency in artificial intelligence and is anticipated to be powered by the company’s proprietary large language model, MiMo-7B-RL, which was launched earlier this year as part of its AI expansion strategy.
Despite having only 7 billion parameters, the MiMo model previously surpassed larger competitors like OpenAI’s o1-mini and Alibaba’s Qwen QwQ-32B-Preview in key benchmarks, including AIME 24/25 and LiveCodeBench v5.
Xiaomi is expected to scale the model further, and Mi Chat will likely act as its front-end interface, allowing the company to bring advanced reasoning features into everyday consumer scenarios. This initiative supports the company’s wider strategy to merge AI with its ‘Human x Car x Home’ ecosystem.
Xiaomi Partner and President Lu Weibing confirmed that the company has been making substantial investments in AI for several quarters, noting that large-model development progress has surpassed expectations. He stated that Xiaomi’s next strategic objective is the deep integration of AI with the physical world.
Furthermore, Xiaomi founder Lei Jun is reportedly taking a direct role in strengthening the AI team. Luo Fuli, a significant recruit from DeepSeek who joined the MiMo division this year, is listed as a corresponding author on a recent paper published in collaboration with Peking University.
More details about Mi Chat are expected to be unveiled by Lu Weibing and Luo Fuli at Xiaomi’s 2025 Human Car Home Ecosystem Partner Conference on December 17 in Beijing.
