Xiaomi has just introduced a new AI voice model called Midshanglam -7B, and this is not just another laboratory experiment by the Chinese smartphone giant. It is already working inside the real-world devices-smart home systems and cars in China-and it is available as an open source. The company says that the model was trained using only publicly available data and was issued under the permissible Apache 2.0 license. This means that developers and companies can use it independently for both research and commercial projects. Of course, Xiaomi is playing a long game here. By opening the model, it is not just showing technical skills; The company is aiming to create a comprehensive developer base. And in the current AI race, having a strong developer ecosystem can lead to a real win.
According to Xiaomi, midashenglm-7B speed and multitasking performs better than most other voice systems, which can make it attractive for any person who creates AI features in everyday equipment. What the AI model makes is its detailed ability. It is not just made for speech. The model can understand all within the same system, surrounded sounds, background music and environmental noise. It is thanks to an integrated training strategy that uses Xiaomi’s Dasheng audio encoder, as well as Qwen2.5 -omni-7B decoder, is originally developed by Alibaba. Together, it enables AI of Tech Combo Xiaomi to take much more than only spoken words. For example, it can detect unusual sounds in its living room or respond to claps and snaps as control gestures.
Midashenglm-7B is not a future face or some initial prototype. Xiaomi says that the model is already giving strength to more than 30 smart features in its product lineup. In smart homes, for example, it is used for safety, with 24/7 sound monitoring and alert for unexpected noise. In cars, it supports voice commands and even provides features such as real -time accent response if you are practicing a new language during your movement. Even some devices are an underwater wake-up mode, which uses sound signals rather than traditional touch input.
A large point Xiaomi is emphasizing that the model moves efficiently. The company claims that it has a significant reduction in the response and can handle 20 times more requests at the same time than the same model, without using additional memory. This matters because many devices using AI are still limited by their hardware. More efficient models mean continuous internet access or better performance without the need for a powerful server.
