On September 8th, 2018, Huami Technology officially released the first artificial intelligence chip for smart wearables – Huangshan No. 1. This action also quickly caused a sensation in the market. A company that mainly sells wearable devices as its main business suddenly started to make chips.
For Huami Technology, many people still have the first impression of selling hardware, including the launch of Xiaomi bracelet, Amazfit brand smart wearable products, and a series of sports shoes and clothing. From the perspective of hardware services, Huami can already do enough, but its grand vision and goals are far from this.
Secondly, it is a wide-ranging technology accumulation and investment layout in the field of semiconductors, especially for RISC-V.
As early as the beginning of 2017, Huami Technology set up an artificial intelligence laboratory, and announced the launch of artificial intelligence wearable chip development, and targeted the open source RISC-V instruction set architecture that was just emerging.
