In the hardware revolution driven by AI, Xiaomi is making an unprecedented capital-intensive saturation attack.
On the evening of March 19, during the Spring New Product Launch, Xiaomi founder Lei Jun announced a major investment plan: In the next three years, Xiaomi is expected to invest over 60 billion yuan in the AI field. Among them, the AI research and development and capital expenditure for 2026 alone has already exceeded 16 billion yuan. This marks that Xiaomi Technology Co., Ltd. is accelerating its transformation from a mobile phone manufacturer into a top-tier AI technology giant.

Capital Strength: Building a "Tech Moat" with 6 Billion Yen
The high investment plan of 6 billion yuan shows Xiaomi's firm determination on the AI strategy. In today's fiercely competitive core markets of smartphones and electric vehicles, Lei Jun clearly hopes to build his own "technological safe haven" through self-controlled large model technology.
