Xiaomi has opened applications for a small-scale closed beta of "Xiaomi miclaw," an AI interaction product built on the MiMo large model. Targeting tech enthusiasts, the test is available on select models including the Xiaomi 17 series and Redmi K90 series.

Xiaomi has officially launched the user application process for the closed beta of its new AI interaction product, Xiaomi miclaw, on March 13. Codenamed "Lobster," the product is a test platform constructed based on Xiaomi's proprietary MiMo large model.

According to the official introduction, Xiaomi miclaw is currently a technical exploration project. The company acknowledges that the product is still undergoing optimization regarding stability, power consumption, and execution success rates in complex scenarios. Therefore, the testing scope is strictly limited to technology enthusiasts and geek users, utilizing an invitation code mechanism for access.

Xiaomi explicitly stated that the product is not recommended for ordinary users to install on their daily main devices due to potential fluctuations in execution efficiency or stage failures during high-complexity tasks. The company advises all participating testers to perform data backups beforehand and conduct tests in a controllable environment.

Users granted closed beta permissions will receive a specific system version push, which must be installed to activate Xiaomi miclaw.

Supported Devices

The closed beta is currently open to the following models:

  • Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition
  • Xiaomi 17 Ultra
  • Xiaomi 17 Pro Max
  • Xiaomi 17 Pro

This is a smart, targeted move by Xiaomi. Launching a closed beta for "miclaw" directly to tech enthusiasts on flagship models is the perfect way to generate organic hype and gather high-quality feedback. It shows they're serious about iterating their MiMo-based AI before a wider release. The race for on-device AI in China is intensifying, and this is Xiaomi putting a clear stake in the ground. Getting real-user data now is crucial for refining the interaction model to compete with the likes of Huawei's Celia and others. The success of this beta will be a key indicator of their AI product's near-term viability.

"Miclaw" is a clever, punny name that suggests a more structured or precise AI interaction. Xiaomi's move to integrate the MiMo model directly into the OS experience is a smart strategy to leverage their hardware dominance. By limiting the beta to flagship devices, they can ensure the performance is top-tier. It will be interesting to see if this finally gives them the edge in the increasingly crowded AI assistant market.
