Tuya Smart wins the "2025 AI Gravity List — AI+ Top Innovator" Smart Hardware Award!

Hangzhou—On January 26, Tuya Smart was awarded the “2025 AI Attraction List—AI+ Strongest Innovator” at the 2026 North High-Profile Summit “AI in the First City” event hosted by Urban Express.

This list focuses on ten key tracks including large models and AI assistants, intelligent manufacturing, AI hardware, embodied intelligence, etc. It comprehensively reviews the year’s “AI+” integrated innovation practices from three dimensions: commercialization capability, scene implementation effectiveness, and technical product strength. The aim is to recognize trailblazers driving industry transformation through technology. Tuya Smart’s successful inclusion not only highlights the key role of the TuyaOpen open-source framework in lowering AI hardware development barriers but also marks Tuya’s industry practice of bringing AI technology out of laboratories and into thousands of households, becoming a benchmark for industry integration and innovation.

With the surge of the fourth industrial revolution centered around AI, by 2025, the development of smart hardware has moved beyond the initial fusion of traditional hardware and AI to an era of AI-driven hardware. Data shows that in 2025, China’s AI hardware market (excluding AI smartphones and AI cars) will reach 1.102 trillion yuan, a 13.4% year-over-year increase, with rapid growth expected over the next five years.

Against this backdrop, to further empower developers and lower the barriers to AI hardware development, Tuya Smart has built upon the TuyaOpen open-source development framework and AI Agent development platform, providing developers with convenient AI technology and ecosystem support. This enables them to focus more on product creativity and user experience, accelerating the physical deployment of AI.

In the roundtable discussion, Tuya Smart’s Vice President of Market and Strategic Cooperation and CMO, Na Jingdan, shared insights into Tuya’s thoughts and practices regarding “AI partners.” She stated, “The true AI revolution is not about parameter competitions but about whether technology can be integrated into thousands of industries and serve hundreds of millions of families faster and more reliably. Tuya Smart’s role is to transform cutting-edge AI capabilities into accessible tools for developers through low-threshold, high-efficiency AI development platforms, ultimately making AI hardware a helpful partner in human work and life, unleashing creativity rather than replacing people.”

Over the past year, Tuya has continuously optimized its AI development platform, significantly lowered development barriers, empowered global developers to create numerous AI hardware with perception, decision-making, and linkage capabilities, and incubated popular categories such as pet companion robots and AI bird feeders. Meanwhile, by deeply integrating AI capabilities into vertical scenarios like energy management and intelligent companionship, Tuya is driving AI from “usable” to “easy to use” and from “trying out” to “regularly used.” For example, Tuya’s home energy management system (HEMS) analyzes electricity usage behaviors and predicts energy consumption trends using AI, helping households in Singapore and other regions achieve significant energy savings, with some households reducing monthly electricity bills by up to 54%. This system not only improves energy efficiency but also provides a feasible path for global households to participate in green carbon reduction.

Tuya Smart’s award highlights industry consensus on accelerating large-scale AI deployment through platform and ecosystem approaches. Looking ahead, Tuya will continue to deepen its AI development platform, promote AI technology to take root across various industries, truly serve people, and accelerate building a more efficient, greener, and smarter future.
