Xiaomi new phone passes network access: registers multiple AI models including ERNIE Bot, DeepSeek and Tongyi Qianwen

A new Xiaomi smartphone has been approved for network access in China, according to regulatory filings. The device lists pre-installed support for multiple large language models, including Baidu's ERNIE Bot, DeepSeek and Alibaba's Tongyi Qianwen. This indicates that Xiaomi is embedding popular Chinese AI assistants directly into its upcoming phone. The certification is a standard step before the phone can be sold in China. The models will likely power on-device AI features such as voice assistants and text generation.
