In today’s era of Internet of Everything, there are more and more smart devices at home.
Smart speakers, cameras, door locks, light bulbs, air conditioners… they looked very fashionable when they were bought a few years ago, but many people have discovered problems after using them: there are too many APPs, which are too tiring to manage; cameras always send useless false alarms; trying to link several devices and set up a scene, the operation is as complicated as programming.
These troubles may seem trivial, but they are the core dilemma facing the current smart home industry – devices work independently and lack a real “brain”.
On April 21, EZVIZ officially launched the AI Core X intelligent large model host at its 2026 new product launch conference, which provided this perfect solution.
This configuration is comparable to a “super brain”, with 64T computing power fully utilized
Let’s talk about the most hard-core parameters first.
EZVIZ AI Core
This “Trinity” design idea is very interesting – in the past, these three things often occupied a corner respectively, but now one machine can handle them all.
It is equipped with an AI processing unit with 64Tops computing power, equipped with 24GB memory and 128GB flash memory, and has a simple and deep black cylindrical design.
What is the concept of 64Tops?
For example, if the smart home is compared to a symphony orchestra, then AI Core X is the conductor.
Other devices are various musical instruments. The computing power of 64Tops is equivalent to a conductor reading dozens of music scores at the same time, remembering the position of each musician, predicting the direction of the melody in the next second, and then issuing instructions in real time to make the entire band coordinate seamlessly.
It can complete massive AI calculations locally, eliminating the need to send home private data to a distant cloud. It can not only ensure privacy and security, but also have a fast response speed.
Against the background that the smart home industry generally relies on cloud computing power, EZVIZ directly brings computing power to the local area, and is at the forefront of the industry in terms of design concept.
For the first time equipped with “Crayfish” intelligent agent, your home will have memories from now on
However, the stack of hardware alone is obviously not enough. The real soul of AI Core
The reason why it is called “crayfish” is that it has an easy-to-remember image. On the other hand, it may also imply that it is like a shrimp and can swim in the water (in the clouds) or walk on the shore (locally), and is extremely flexible.
This HomeVita can be understood as a smart housekeeper dedicated to your home.
It not only manages devices, but also “long-term memory”.
For example, you usually turn off the lights at ten o’clock in the evening and adjust the air conditioner to 24 degrees before going to bed. After a few days in a row, AI Core X will remember this rule.
At 9:30 pm on a certain weekend, it will proactively ask you if you need to turn on the air conditioner in your bedroom in advance. After you leave home for a business trip, if the system detects no one has been active for several consecutive hours, it will proactively suggest you turn on the “away from home mode” on your mobile phone and automatically turn off all unnecessary electrical appliances.
This upgrade from “passive remote control” to “active service” is what a smart home should look like.
In terms of user experience, AI Core X completely puts an end to the boring notification method of the past.
In the past, the camera at home detected movement and sent you a cold “motion detection alarm”. You had no idea what was happening.
Now, AI Core X can understand images into text through the powerful visual analysis capabilities of Blue Ocean Large Model 2.0.
For example, it can directly push precise semantic information such as “children are playing football in the yard” and “pet cat jumped on the sofa”.
For modern people who receive dozens of mobile phone notifications every day, this is definitely a pain point upgrade – no longer bombarded with invalid information, only content that is truly worth paying attention to.
For families with children or pets, it also brings a super practical function – retrieving videos through natural language.
This means that you no longer have to squint and manually drag on the progress bar for hours just to find a certain piece of surveillance footage.
You only need to say to the host, “Help me find the video of the baby learning to walk for the first time on Wednesday afternoon,” and AI Core X will quickly filter it out for you in the local hard drive.
This improvement in efficiency has changed from “finding a needle in a haystack” to “precise positioning”, and the experience is completely two-dimensional.
Perfect solution to industry pain, local storage and seamless linkage
To be honest, there are currently many products in the industry under the banner of “smart”, but in essence they are just “mentally retarded” – the so-called smart linkage either has a delayed response or is not usable at all.
The reason is that the problem of data islands has not been solved: the camera data is stored in the memory card, the door lock logs are stored in the cloud, and the map of the sweeping robot is stored in another APP.
With its high-performance NAS function, EZVIZ AI Core
For video surveillance and important files at home, AI Core X adopts a fully localized storage solution.
The footage recorded by the home camera does not need to be uploaded to the public cloud, but is directly stored in the hard drive of the host computer.
In this way, privacy and security are fundamentally guaranteed – your home images only flow in your living room and will not pass through any third-party servers.
In an age where data privacy is a growing concern, this is especially important for home users.
At the same time, AI Core X is also compatible with the mainstream Matter protocol.
Whether you have a Xiaomi device, an Apple device, or any other smart hardware, AI Core
This open and inclusive strategy is more pragmatic and long-term than those that try to bind users with a closed ecosystem.
Why choose to list overseas first?
Fluorite’s globalization plan
There is another piece of information worth pondering at this conference: the price of such an important AI Core
This strategy is actually highly consistent with EZVIZ’s current global layout.
According to the latest industry report, EZVIZ’s overseas business will achieve revenue of 2.338 billion yuan in 2025, a year-on-year growth of 22.27%, far exceeding the 1.25% growth rate of the domestic market.
Overseas markets are becoming the core engine of EZVIZ’s growth, with overseas revenue accounting for close to 40% of its main business.
Against this background, prioritizing flagship innovative products like AI Core X overseas is not only a response to the growth potential of overseas markets, but also an important step to further consolidate the global brand image.
For domestic users, although this product is not available for the time being, EZVIZ’s action has released a clear signal: smart homes are moving from “single product intelligence” to “AI-based whole-house intelligence”, and this trend will sooner or later sweep the domestic market.
In general, the release of EZVIZ AI Core
It is not only a simple hardware upgrade, but also a deep reconstruction of home data sovereignty and interaction methods.
As consumers, we may be able to look forward to this: A smart home life that understands you better, is more proactive, and is safer is really not far away.
