Xiaomi Commits $8.7B To AI Following New Model Launch
Xiaomi has pledged at least $8.7 billion toward artificial intelligence over the next three years. As a result, this marks the company’s largest investment in AI to date. CEO Lei Jun announced the plan during a recent event in Beijing, highlighting Xiaomi’s push to compete in the fast-growing agentic AI space.
Moreover, the company revealed that its AI research budget for 2026 has already exceeded earlier projections. Therefore, this signals a stronger long-term commitment to advancing AI capabilities across its ecosystem.
Breakthrough Model and Stealth Launch
Meanwhile, Xiaomi introduced its flagship AI model, MiMo-V2-Pro, a trillion-parameter large language model. Interestingly, the model first appeared anonymously on a developer platform, which initially led to confusion about its origin. However, developers later confirmed its identity after analyzing technical markers.
In addition, the model quickly gained traction and processed more than 1.5 trillion tokens. It features over one trillion parameters, with 42 billion active at any time, and supports a context window of up to one million tokens. According to internal benchmarks, it delivers strong coding performance and competitive general AI capabilities at a lower cost.
Focus on Agentic AI and Future Growth
Alongside MiMo-V2-Pro, Xiaomi also launched MiMo-V2-Omni and MiMo-V2-TTS to expand its AI portfolio. Consequently, these models support multimodal inputs and advanced speech synthesis features.
Furthermore, this launch reflects a broader industry shift toward agentic AI systems that can perform tasks independently. As companies increasingly focus on this trend, demand for more advanced AI infrastructure continues to rise.
“Developers around the world have commented that V2-Pro has a high IQ, also a high EQ, and crucially its task execution ability is both fast and accurate,” Lei said at the Beijing event.
Additionally, Xiaomi has started testing Miclaw, a mobile AI agent designed to run directly on smartphones. Ultimately, the company aims to strengthen its position in the global AI race while expanding real-world applications of intelligent systems.
