en.Wedoany.com Reported - Xiaomi's official account "Play with Xiaomi HyperOS" updated the Xiaomi miclaw "Lobster" closed beta scope on the Xiaomi Community, adding two models from the Mi 17T series. Users can apply for testing qualifications through a registration questionnaire. The closed beta qualification is for personal use only and cannot be transferred or sold. Xiaomi miclaw is a technology exploration project launched by Xiaomi for AI agent capabilities. Its focus is not on upgrading ordinary voice assistants, but on verifying the execution capabilities of large models within the phone system, application services, and Xiaomi's "Human x Car x Home" ecosystem. The project is currently in a small-scale closed testing phase. Xiaomi has explicitly stated that the product is still being continuously optimized in terms of stability, power consumption performance, and success rate in complex scenarios. Some high-complexity tasks may experience fluctuations in execution efficiency or periodic failures. Therefore, it is not recommended for ordinary users to upgrade on their daily primary devices. The addition of two models from the Mi 17T series indicates that the adaptation scope of Xiaomi miclaw is continuing to expand, but it is still not an official feature for the general public. For tech enthusiasts and geek users, the value of the closed beta lies in experiencing firsthand how a system-level AI Agent invokes tools, understands context, and completes tasks across applications. For ordinary users, the current focus should be on system stability, battery life impact, data security, and the risk of task failure.

This expansion of adaptation also reflects that Xiaomi is pushing Xiaomi miclaw from single-device phone testing to more terminal forms. Currently, the project has been extended to PCs, Mac devices, smart speakers with screens, and smartwatches, indicating that Xiaomi aims to enable AI agents to collaborate across different entry points, rather than just performing isolated operations on a phone. If such capabilities mature in the future, users may initiate tasks through phones, computers, watches, in-vehicle systems, and smart home devices, with the AI Agent breaking down steps, invoking applications, coordinating devices, and providing execution results within authorized scopes.

The closed beta rules are also being tightened simultaneously. Xiaomi reminds users that testing qualifications are for personal use only. Transferring, selling accounts, or obtaining qualifications through irregular means is strictly prohibited. Violators will have their qualifications revoked and will not be granted them in the future.

For the smart terminal industry chain, the continuous expansion of Xiaomi miclaw indicates that phone manufacturers are shifting the AI competition from model dialogue capabilities to system execution capabilities. For a phone-side AI Agent to be truly usable, it requires the coordinated effort of large models, on-device inference, cloud computing power, speech recognition, speech synthesis, permission management, system tool invocation, application adaptation, privacy protection, and cross-device communication. The addition of two models from the Mi 17T series is merely a change in the adaptation list; what is more noteworthy is whether Xiaomi can stably embed this capability into the HyperOS ecosystem and form a seamless experience across phones, PCs, wearables, smart speakers, and smart homes. If Xiaomi miclaw eventually transitions from closed beta to a public version, related demands will extend to on-device AI chips, sensors, operating system services, developer interfaces, smart home protocols, cloud inference platforms, and security certification.
