At this month’s Tuya Global Developer Summit in Shenzhen, the Chinese company unveiled four core AIoT technology engines, empowering developers to reconstruct the physical world with AI.

During the summit, Tuya introduced its AI agent development platform and released three other major technology engines – Tuya.AI, TuyaOpen and HEDV – to help developers unlock the potential value of AIoT. To accelerate the global commercialisation of AI, Tuya also announced that developers using Tuya products can now access its AI tokens free of charge.

The AI agent development platform is designed to provide developers with flexible and efficient tools for managing intelligent agents. It integrates global large language models, including DeepSeek, Doubao, Qwen, Tencent Hunyuan, OpenAI, Gemini and Nova. With a single line of code, developers can connect to any of these models, enabling seamless integration of functions such as text and image generation, image recognition, data analysis, device management, and object model understanding.

With the platform, developers can rapidly create tailored smart agents, ranging from pet-feeding assistants and AI dolls to fitness companions and motivational avatars.

Tuya.AI delivers out-of-the-box, full-stack AI hardware development, addressing the core challenges of AI hardware mass production. The offering includes edge AI modules, low-code embedded frameworks, cloud-based model orchestration, an intelligent cloud brain, and closed-loop AI application integration and deployment.

Tuya.AI not only offers technological and ecosystem advantages but also helps developers rapidly access commercial markets. Whether in smart home environments, industrial IoT or smart commercial scenarios, developers can use Tuya.AI to complete the entire process quickly, from prototype validation to large-scale deployment. With Tuya’s AI toolchains, developers can integrate AI capabilities into smart devices in as little as ten minutes.

The deep integration of AI and the physical world is unlocking business opportunities. However, the foundation of this transformation lies in technological evolution, built on vast datasets and the validation of diverse scenarios. This evolution requires engaging more developers in the AI field and accelerating the adoption of AI through innovative products. Therefore, open source becomes the key to driving AI commercialisation, by offering developers fertile ground for creative implementation.

Tuya embraced an open-source philosophy from its early days as a start-up team building an open-source community, to its current role as the enabler of an open, neutral smart ecosystem. Tuya continues to champion openness through its technology platform ecosystem. Backed by years of industry experience and AIoT technology accumulation, Tuya has officially launched TuyaOpen, an open-source, open development framework tailored for the AIoT industry.

TuyaOpen inherits core capabilities from TuyaOS, such as cross-platform compatibility, cross-system integration, modular architecture and security compliance, and integrates an end-to-end AI inference engine. It supports multimodal AI capabilities through Tuya Cloud’s smart agent centre, achieving seamless cloud-edge integration. Leveraging Tuya’s global supply chain and open ecosystem, TuyaOpen also provides a one-stop path from product development to commercial monetisation, shortening time to market and helping developers access more business opportunities.

In complex business scenarios such as smart energy and smart campuses, enterprises are increasingly demanding robust data security and customised development capabilities. To address this, Tuya has introduced the HEDV edge computing platform. Featuring a cloud-independent, distributed architecture, HEDV can be flexibly deployed in any data centre according to enterprise needs, providing efficient, unified, stable and scalable smart offerings at low cost.

Built on Tuya’s global DNA, independent data centres and adherence to global cloud security and compliance standards, HEDV enables enterprises to achieve localised deployment in a cost-effective and streamlined manner. This empowers greater autonomy over data, applications and devices, ensuring the security of critical data while maintaining elastic scalability for high-concurrency scenarios.

Through the release and sharing of these technology engines, Tuya (www.tuya.com) equips global developers with tools to implement AIoT and provides technical backing for innovation through its AI cloud platform.
