In terms of core technology configuration, the key highlight of this AI pet lies in its deep integration with Huawei Xiaoyi large model. Empowered by the large model, "Xingzai" has stronger text understanding and emotional companion capabilities. It has a "Mood Diary" function that can record and store every word the user says, and then automatically generate summaries and assess the user's stress level.

To meet the needs of full-scene companionship, "Xingzai" breaks through the limitations of traditional smart hardware that only relies on local area networks. The product fully supports Wi-Fi and 4G dual network connections, which means users can maintain online status regardless of whether they are in the park, traveling, or other outdoor scenarios. In terms of hardware parameters, the device is equipped with a 1900mAh battery, supports 5V2A power input, and allows users to replace different personalized accessories. Currently, the product has started pre-orders on e-commerce platforms.
