Founder, chairman and chief executive officer · Xiaomi

Career

Lei joined Kingsoft in 1992 and later became its chairman. He founded the online retailer Joyo.com in 2000; Amazon acquired it in 2004. He founded Xiaomi in 2010, extending his work from software and internet businesses to consumer products and connected devices.[1][3]

Contributions

Xiaomi’s 2026 chairman’s statement describes integrating MiMo into its Hyper XiaoAi assistant and developing cross-app and cross-device task execution. That connects model work to an operating-system and device ecosystem. Lei’s role is company leadership and strategy; the report does not establish that he personally designed the model or its training method.[2]

Ideas

The chairman’s statement emphasizes moving from understanding an instruction to completing a task. For someone following agentic AI, Xiaomi is a case of deploying models through devices and software people already use. The report is management’s account of progress, so its performance claims require evaluation against the particular task and device.[2]
