System lineage

HyperOS succeeds MIUI on phones, but its official scope is broader

Xiaomi still reported MIUI usage while unveiling HyperOS in October 2023. Its launch material positioned HyperOS as a new operating system built around Linux and Xiaomi Vela for personal devices, cars, and smart-home products, with the Xiaomi 14 series among its first domestic devices. The phone transition is therefore related to MIUI, but should not be reduced to a name-only change or described as an entirely unrelated system.

Xiaomi HyperOS 2

HyperAI and multimodal Super XiaoAI

Oct 29, 2024

HyperOS 2 organized its system AI around the named HyperAI layer and expanded assistance into multimodal understanding, local-content retrieval, writing, speech, translation, and generation.

New in this version

HyperAI productivity and creation tools

HyperAI added text refinement and extension, speech transcription with speaker recognition and summaries, translated subtitles and interpretation, and generative art tools. [1][2]

Multimodal Super XiaoAI

Super XiaoAI could interpret on-screen content and camera input, circle an image for explanation, and connect supported requests to system operations. [3]

Natural-language local content search

The assistant listing tied to the latest HyperOS 2 version described natural-language retrieval across local photos, videos, documents, notes, and recordings. [3]

Compared with the previous version

HyperOS 1 already introduced HyperMind and foundation models; HyperOS 2 made the AI layer more explicit through HyperAI and expanded multimodal, productivity, and system-operation tools around Super XiaoAI. [4][1][3]

Evidence limits

  • The August 28 record is a product launch introduction; the August 29 record is a Beta rollout and should not be presented as stable availability for all devices.
  • Deep research, circle-screen interaction, and one-step execution depend on supported Super XiaoAI versions, devices, applications, and later updates.
  • The advertised application and capability totals are vendor rollout targets, not independent measurements or proof of universal support.
  • Global HyperAI functions and rollout timing vary by device, software version, language, region, and internet availability.
Evidence limits

How to read this history

  • China-region launch and product materials provide the primary version story; global records are used only for later rollout and regional limitations.
  • Feature access can vary by device, region, language, app version, software version, account, network connection, and phased updates.
  • Xiaomi's descriptions confirm vendor claims and release positioning; they are not independent product tests or proof that every listed function performs consistently.
  • Rolling product and app-store pages can change after capture, so their current wording does not by itself prove what every device received on the original launch date.
