On November 28 at the millet 2017 IoT Developer Conference, Lei Jun said that the next stage of millet IoT strategy will be fully open, the release of the millet IoT developer program is a concrete manifestation of this concept, the current millet IoT platform networking More than 85 million devices, more than 10 million daily living equipment, partners over 400.
Millet review of the rapid development of the Internet of Things platform for three years, not only to do a good job millet platform, but also do a good job IoT platform bigger and bigger, more and more access to require millet in doing a good job platform Need to do the IoT the underlying protocol products.In the platform, the millet IoT developer platform through open source to support access to non-millet ecological chain products, and at 12:00 on November 28 formally launched at the official website of millet; in products, millet Embedded wifi module from 40 yuan three years ago, now you can do now 12 yuan, 2018 millet will launch NB-IoT module, is expected to significantly reduce NB-IoT market price.
The world's largest intelligent hardware IoT platform fully open
Millet, founded more than seven years ago, came from the initial MIUI. Through the rapid deployment of smartphones and millet eco-chain products, millet smart hardware has been launched through independent R & D and investment in several eco-chain enterprises in recent years. Products. By focusing on mobile phones and building smart devices around the world, IoT is the world's largest intelligent hardware platform. This proves that Xiaomi IoT does change user habits through smart hardware products and enhances user experience in varying degrees.
Lei Jun said that the world's largest is not the goal of millet, which only reached the phased goal of millet IoT. At the beginning of the establishment of the company, millet set to make the coolest heart of the company, so that everyone can enjoy the technology brings The fun next millet IoT platform to do - fully open and the millet IoT developer program.
It is understood that as of November 2017, Xiaomi IoT already has more than 400 partners including China Mobile, Microsoft Xiaobing, Siemens, Philips and Supor, and at the same time, after three years of joint development with Xiaomi IoT, including Purple rice, China rice, Chi meters, ninebot, ants and other millet ecological chain companies are also among the ranks of unicorn company, the future millet IoT will face a more open and open mind more third-party brands.
Gao Ziguang, vice president of millet ecological chain and head of Xiaomi's IoT platform, said: Although IoT has been recognized as the mainstream direction in the past two years, due to the fact that IoT is still in its infancy and platform access standards are not uniform, But failed to gather into the tower.And the millet IoT developer program is designed to help third-party brand intelligent hardware products and the existing rapid integration of millet IoT products, linkage control.Is the millet IoT developers plan to open in the module & hardware open Access, open access to My Home App, open access to new retail channels, open control of smart device connectivity, and open sharing of AI Cloud / Big Data smart hardware teams can use the standard technical documentation and unified API provided by Xiaomi IoT Some intelligent module hardware connected to the Mi APP, but also can choose to use the official MiMi IoT intelligent module hardware.After access to Mi APP APP third-party intelligent hardware will also be the existing Xiaomi IoT platform for all products to achieve linkage, mutual control.
Gao Ziguang also said: The new retail channel open access also represents the determination of the opening of the millet IoT platform, the current millet retail strategy in full swing, millet network has become the world's eighth largest e-commerce platform, millet also opened the offline millet home Of the building, there are already more than 200 offline millet stores.
Xiaomi and Baidu depth cooperation, strengthen AI product and commercialization
As one of millet 2017 IoT developer conference dramas, Xiaomi and Baidu announced a deep cooperation at the meeting. Based on the layout and development advantages of artificial intelligence, Baidu provides application scenarios based on the advantages of industry-leading IoT and artificial intelligence products, Smart hardware, etc .; Baidu provides AI technology and massive data, etc., can bring users a better experience.
On this, smart phones will have more awareness, more computing power, more understanding of the user, more personalized, more intelligent interaction, we call it the new mobile.In the new mobile era, Baidu Search business, information flow, Iki Art will have a lot of room for growth, and we will establish a new AI platform business, including Apollo. At the same time, DuerOS on behalf of a new generation of human-computer interaction platform, and IoT will have a very comprehensive, close Cooperation space.
Lu Qi, Baidu's president and chief operating officer, said that millet has a profound accumulation in the layout of intelligent hardware, big data and smart devices and is a global leader in IoT field. Deep technical foundation for the development of China's IoT industry to provide the world's leading AI technology support and information ecological resources.The two sides will join forces and will lead China's AI and IoT technology to a new peak to bring users the ultimate experience .
Not long ago Xiaomi introduced the first AI smart speaker 'love students' as an example, vice president of millet ecological chain, the person in charge of the millet exploration laboratory Tang Mu said at the developer conference: since 'little love students' in this year July 26 after the release of the user and industry has won widespread concern, as short as 1 day beta registration to reach more than 100 million reservations now little love classmates already have more than a hundred skills Xiaomi mall's user satisfaction up to 99.1%, quickly promote smart speakers as IoT platform, a major control center.
In addition, the application of IoT platform and AI are inseparable from the big data and the cloud.To know that in the bottom of Baidu brain, cloud is the core of the basic ability, in which it is more important to establish a new computing power of heterogeneous framework, because in In the age of artificial intelligence, especially deep learning, its computing model is very different from the traditional architecture. Baidu has devoted much research and development in this area to bring some new intelligent cloud capabilities.
Cui Baoqiu, Xiaomi's chief architect and vice president of AI and cloud platform, said that thanks to the huge size of mobile phone and smart hardware users, Xiaomi is not only a mobile Internet company, but also a big data company and an AI company. At present, Xiaomi Artificial intelligence research and development and applications have been hailed in products such as Xiaomi AI speakers, but in the next 5-10 years, the smart phone will remain the largest platform of artificial intelligence technology, the smart phone + IoT will become the infinite ecology of artificial intelligence, based on Powerful product capabilities, millet or AI capabilities landing a series of smart products, serving hundreds of millions of users, the real embrace IoT era of AI innovation.
