By strategically positioning itself in the energy sector and championing the concept of "generating electricity for care," Tuya has created a powerful ecosystem that attracts top global talent. Industry elites from diverse backgrounds, yet united by a shared vision, have joined forces to embed carbon reduction into every link of the energy chain through intelligent technology, collectively working toward a zero-carbon future.

This mission-driven talent ecosystem has propelled Tuya to remarkable achievements in the energy field, leading to multiple industry breakthroughs. These include publishing the world's first comprehensive report with an in-depth focus on household energy-saving, organizing a series of "Energy Says" seminars, fostering collaboration across industry, academia, and research, and being recognized in the United Nations Global Compact's (UNGC) report on 20 Cases for 20 Years of Private Sector's Sustainable Development in China.

The Second Half of the Energy Revolution: Reshaping Energy Management Systems with Large Models like DeepSeek

With the rapid advancement and widespread adoption of generative AI and large language models, a new wave of technological transformation is sweeping the globe, bringing unprecedented possibilities to the energy sector. As computing power and electricity become increasingly integrated, the question arises: How many untapped opportunities still exist within the realm of "AI + energy"? Why has energy management become an ideal testing ground for the deployment of large-scale AI models?

Eva Na, Vice President of Marketing and Strategic Cooperation, and CMO of Tuya Smart, addresses this shift: "We are now in the 2.0 era of large AI models. Innovations in architectures like DeepSeek enable the processing of extremely long texts at low cost while demonstrating exceptional reasoning and data capabilities. These advancements bring AI decision-making closer to human cognition, allowing models to be highly sensitive to device states, physical changes, and energy consumption patterns—making them particularly well-suited for energy management."

In vertical applications, the strong generalization capabilities of large models in language comprehension and generation can be transferred to specialized smaller models, enhancing their data-processing abilities and decision-making chains while further enriching knowledge bases. This integration of large and small models will accelerate AI's end-to-end penetration into industries and everyday life. Tuya Smart is at the forefront of this transformation, continuously exploring new applications for end-to-end AI. By integrating global mainstream AI models—including ChatGPT, Tongyi Qianwen, DeepSeek, Gemini, and Amazon Nova—Tuya empowers developers to create AI-driven smart devices and scenario-based applications that are more competitive in the market.

Taking energy management as an example, Tuya's Energy Management System, enhanced by large models such as DeepSeek, leverages multimodal perception capabilities to embed energy-saving intelligence into various application scenarios, redefining the boundaries of smart energy. The following sections explore how Tuya is revolutionizing smart energy management—from home devices to cloud-based management systems to large industrial and commercial energy solutions—ushering in a disruptive transformation in the energy sector.

I. Home Appliances as "Energy-Saving Smart Assistants"

- Smart Air Conditioning: The "Temperature Prophet"

With DeepSeek-powered AI, smart air conditioners can make intuitive adjustments based on real-time contextual cues. If a child kicks off their blanket while sleeping, the AC automatically raises the room temperature. When the system detects blue light reflections from a phone when the user is working late at night, it lowers the air volume to prevent the user from catching a cold. Additionally, by analyzing the sound frequency of yawning, fresh air circulation can be preemptively adjusted by 0.5°C before the temperature rises.

- Smart Lighting: The "Light Energy Butler"

Tuya's smart lighting system dynamically adapts to family members' daily routines. For instance, when children are doing homework, the lighting shifts to cool white tones to enhance focus, while during TV time for the elderly, it transitions to warm yellow hues to reduce eye strain. When it detects that the entire family has left home, it switches to "Home Guard Mode" within 0.1 seconds, maintaining minimal illumination to conserve energy. This demand-driven lighting strategy significantly reduces household electricity consumption.

- Electric Vehicles: The "Energy-Saving Strategist"

By integrating DeepSeek, the AI assistant in electric vehicles can track real-time electricity price fluctuations and optimize charging locations accordingly. For example, it may suggest traveling to a shopping district where photovoltaic electricity costs only 0.18 RMB/kWh during lunchtime. The AI also continuously monitors nearby charging stations for discounts and promotional activities, automatically adjusting routes to optimize cost savings on electricity bills.

II. Cloud-Based Energy Optimization: AI-Powered Efficiency

On the cloud level, Tuya's AI-integrated energy management system generates real-time energy consumption maps based on data from smart devices and specific usage scenarios. This enables the system to develop optimal energy-saving and emissions-reduction strategies.

For instance, commercial buildings can integrate rooftop solar panels, underground EV charging stations, and central air conditioning into a unified energy network. When a thunderstorm disrupts photovoltaic power generation, the system can allocate stored energy within 0.5 seconds, ensuring an uninterrupted power supply to essential equipment. By analyzing office heat maps, the AI also identifies underutilized areas and preemptively reduces air conditioning in those zones—maximizing efficiency and minimizing waste.

III. AI-Powered Energy Dispatch in Large Industrial Parks

In large industrial and commercial parks, AI-driven energy management is undergoing a radical transformation. Beyond making energy consumption more transparent, AI models enhance forecasting for both power generation and consumption, significantly reducing overall energy costs.

For example, in the underground pipeline system of a major technology park, AI acts as a highly sensitive "underwater detective," capable of identifying leaks through voiceprint recognition. Even the smallest leaks, undetectable to the human ear, are pinpointed, helping the facility save up to 1,500 tons of water annually. Additionally, AI optimizes the charging and discharging strategies of energy storage systems in real time, ensuring economic efficiency by adjusting energy usage based on fluctuating demand.

Through the deployment of AI models, Tuya Smart is spearheading a transformative shift in energy management, ensuring that every kilowatt-hour finds its optimal usage path—maximizing efficiency across diverse scenarios. This may very well be the most innovative and romantic redefinition of energy management by AIoT technology.

In this vision-driven energy revolution, Tuya is crafting a compelling answer: social value and commercial success are not contradictions, but complementary forces. The true pioneers of this field will ultimately reap extraordinary returns. Looking toward the future, Tuya invites like-minded innovators—those who dream and "generate electricity for care"—to join in building a sustainable future where AI-driven energy solutions create tangible social benefits for generations to come.
