What happened

QbitAI reported that Xiaomi open-sourced a low-cost AI gadget priced at 150 yuan that can direct AI agents and control smart home devices. The report did not name the product or provide technical details. It also claimed that accessory prices increased because of the gadget's popularity.

Technical significance

The evidence provides no technical specifications, model architecture, or benchmark results. Verification question: what is the exact product name and what open-source license applies?
