A lot of Xiaomi products have the prefix Mi. My initial guess is Mo is for model.

Does Xiaomi literally mean Little Rice? That's what my very limited mandarin would suggest

#65Why are there so many English-first AI models from China? Are they not interested in serving their own population? Or is it that if they publish Chinese-first models it won't get publicity in the West?

#66Xiaomi in Chinese translates to "Little Rice"
Here is the meaning of the name

在后来的讨论中，我突然想到了我最喜欢的一句话——“佛观一粒米，大如须弥山”。
Translated into English, it means:
“In the later discussions, I suddenly thought of one of my favorite sayings — ‘A Buddha sees a single grain of rice as vast as Mount Sumeru.’”
This expression emphasizes the idea that even something seemingly small (like a grain of rice) can hold immense significance or value when viewed from a different perspective.

Haven't we reached a situation where English is the de facto language of scientific research, especially AI benchmarks ?
It's clearly impossible for me to try anything in Chinese, I'd need a translation.

Not sure why it would be "funny" as this is literally why they named the company Xiaomi. Source (Chinese): https://finance.sina.cn/tech/2020-11-26/detail-iiznctke33979...
For me it's funny that all the products are called "Rice-something" that's funny, hahaha! :)
Not that different from "apple" something.

exactly, it seems to validate my assumption from some time ago, that we will mostly use local models for everyday tasks.
But who will keep them updated and what incentive they would have? That's I can't imagine. Bit vague.
Eventually? Microsoft and Copilot, and Apple and Siri - even if they have to outsource their model making. It will be a challenge to desktop Linux.

I assume a large portion of high quality training material is in English
