NEW
YORK, Feb. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Tuya Smart (NYSE: TUYA, HKEX: 2391), a global
cloud platform service provider, today officially announced the
integration of Le Chat, the latest AI model from Mistral AI, into
the Tuya Cloud Developer Platform. As the first company to
integrate this cutting-edge model, Tuya is leveraging Le Chat's
exceptional speed, open-source nature, and advanced capabilities to
empower developers with a pivotal tool for AI hardware innovation
to further accelerate the commercialization of AI across
Europe.
In February 2025, French AI
startup Mistral AI made headlines by topping France's free app charts with the launch of Le
Chat, its first AI model. This milestone not only disrupted the
industry but also signified a major breakthrough for European
technology in the global AI race.
The fully open-source application Le Chat processes 1,100 tokens
per second (approximately 1,000 words), making it 13 times faster
than ChatGPT. Its image generation capabilities surpass DALL•E, and
it supports both iOS and Android. At the Paris AI Summit on
February 10, Le Chat quickly became
the focal point of industry discussions, reinforcing Europe's growing influence in the AI
landscape.
As a pioneer in the global smart technology industry, Tuya has
been closely tracking the advancements and market dynamics of the
European AI sector. Committed to deepening its presence in
Europe, Tuya has established
strong partnerships with leading European brands, such as
Schneider, Danfoss, Hama, and Calex. By collaboratively building a
smart hardware ecosystem, Tuya is introducing a new era of smart
living to European consumers.
The rise of Mistral AI as a dark horse in the global AI industry
underscores two core demands driving the European AI market: data
security and AI hardware innovation.
Data security and compliance remain the primary barriers to AI
commercialization in Europe.
According to McKinsey, 73% of European consumers reject AI
applications that involve cross-border data transmission due to
privacy concerns. Following the European Union's passage of the
world's most comprehensive AI legislation last year, which imposes
strict regulations and prohibitions on AI deployment, Tuya has made
long-term investments in privacy protection and ensures full
compliance with regulatory frameworks such as the EU Artificial
Intelligence Act. With the integration of Mistral AI, Tuya enables
localized data collection, storage and processing, ensuring a
closed-loop system that meets Europe's stringent data security
requirements.
Beyond security, European users are increasingly demanding AI
hardware solutions with greater real-world applicability. According
to the European Commission, the European AI hardware market is
estimated to have grown 217% year-over-year in 2024. However, many
small and medium-sized enterprises face barriers such as high
development costs and complex technology integration, leading to a
significant mismatch between supply and demand.
To address these market demands, Tuya
Smart offers developers an efficient and flexible AI
hardware development solution through its mature T-series modules
and AI hardware development platform, enabling rapid AI hardware
deployment. Moreover, the Tuya Cloud Developer Platform has
attracted over 1.26 million developers and empowered more than
2,800 smart product categories, spanning the entire industry chain
from manufacturers to distributors and agents. This ecosystem
ensures that Tuya can fully meet Europe's diverse AI hardware needs.
Furthermore, Tuya's AI ecosystem extends beyond Mistral AI,
integrating top global models such as DeepSeek, OpenAI, Claude,
Gemini, and Nova. Through Tuya's AI hardware development platform,
developers can seamlessly integrate audio, video, image, and text
processing capabilities with just one SDK, enabling customized,
multi-model integration. Tuya's open ecosystem not only lowers the
barrier to AI hardware development but also provides European
developers with more flexibility, empowering them to tackle diverse
application challenges with ease.
The integration of Mistral AI's first large model marks a
significant milestone in Tuya's expansion within the European AI
ecosystem. This collaboration extends beyond a simple technical
integration representing a strategic response to Europe's evolving AI hardware development
landscape. Looking ahead, Tuya will remain committed to data
localization and an open ecosystem strategy, offering lower entry
barriers and higher efficiency in AI hardware development for
European developers to seize new opportunities in the AI-driven
era.
