Houmo AI Debuts M50 Inside Terminals at WAIC 2026, Powering Edge AI Computing

At WAIC 2026 in Zhangjiang Science Hall on July 18, Houmo AI unveiled a lineup of M50 Inside AI terminals that bring large language models from the cloud to local devices. The exhibited products included palm-sized Agent Computers, holographic interactive personal terminals, and desktop AI assistants spanning smart office, education, personal companionship, and edge computing scenarios.

Industry observers have broadly labeled 2026 as the year of edge AI, as AI PCs, service robots, and intelligent edge devices accelerate toward commercial deployment. However, size, battery, and thermal constraints in terminal devices make high-performance, low-power edge AI chips a critical necessity for mass adoption.

Houmo AI's M50 chip leverages a compute-in-memory architecture to deliver 160 TOPS at just 10W power consumption, supporting models from 30B to 120B parameters. The chip maintains low latency and high stability even under multi-concurrent inference workloads. On the software side, Houmo's自主研发 Dadao software stack is compatible with mainstream deep learning frameworks and eliminates the need for manual parameter tuning or quantization calibration.

Agent Computer products drew the most attention at the booth. The ClawHouse X1 Pro, a holographic interactive personal computing center jointly developed with ChatIQ, uses the M50 to simultaneously handle real-time rendering, 100-billion-parameter local inference, and low-latency voice interaction. Lenovo's AI host P7, also powered by M50, packs 190 TOPS in a palm-sized form factor and runs 122-billion-parameter models offline at 50 Tokens/s.

In the mobile terminal category, Great Wall's N90 Pro demonstrated 35B-parameter model inference without network connectivity, enabling document writing, offline Q&A, and meeting transcription. Lenovo's AI Workmate concept device appeared as a desktop robot capable of voice and gesture control locally, generating summaries and presentations from scanned notes.

Kedao Cloud's TeamSilo A10, equipped with Houmo's LQ50 M.2 card providing 160 TOPS, integrates enterprise cloud storage and knowledge bases with local LLM capabilities for knowledge retrieval and agent application building.

Houmo AI has established partnerships with dozens of leading terminal manufacturers including Lenovo, Great Wall, and China Mobile, driving M50 adoption in AI PCs, desktop robots, AI NAS, and Agent Computers. The company stated its mission is to make AI computing universally accessible, like electricity, through fundamental architectural innovation.
