In a separate announcement, UGREEN and Houmo Intelligent released the UGREEN HomeAgent HA100 Pro at UGREEN's global launch event on the evening of Sept. 12. The product is positioned as a local AI hub for the home, using Houmo's M50 local AI compute. Leiphone reported that the device integrates local AI computing, local storage, home care and whole-house device management, aiming to connect data, devices and AI capabilities in one system and complete the data loop locally.

Houmo's M50 is an AI chip for large-model edge inference based on a compute-in-memory architecture, with 160 TOPS per chip and typical power consumption of 10 watts. The companies said the chip allows more AI tasks to move from the cloud to the home. Camera footage can be recognized locally; family photos, videos and files can be understood and retrieved by local models; household events can be analyzed into summaries and trigger responses based on user needs. The partners described the release as an exploration of local AI computing and home intelligence.
