Xiaomi has shown the AI Cube Prototype, a compact local-AI system built around three Xring processors: O3, O100 and D100.
The system sustains up to 150 W and runs a 120B + 3B dual-model configuration locally. Its dedicated AI accelerator, Xring O100 (玄戒 O100), combines 6 nm logic with vertically stacked DRAM and delivers 1.22 TB/s of near-memory bandwidth.
O100 reaches up to 330 tokens/s on Xiaomi MiMo 3B.

3D-stacked logic and DRAM
O100 places DRAM directly above the AI logic to create a short, wide path between model weights and the NPU.
The stack combines:
- one 6 nm logic die;
- two DRAM dies;
- Wafer-on-Wafer vertical assembly;
- Hybrid Bonding;
- Face-to-Face metal connections;
- 28,672 effective data lines.
The bonding pitch is 1.4 μm and the TSV diameter is about 0.7 μm. Xiaomi's packaging comparison increases the data-path count from 96 lines in a conventional PoP-style reference to 28,672 lines in O100.
1.22 TB/s near-memory bandwidth
O100 provides 1.22 TB/s between its stacked memory and AI compute subsystem.
Large-model inference repeatedly reads model weights during token generation, making memory bandwidth a major part of inference throughput.
| Platform | Published memory bandwidth |
|---|---|
| RTX 5090 | 1.792 TB/s GDDR7 |
| Xring O100 | 1.22 TB/s near-memory |
| Apple M3 Ultra | 819 GB/s unified memory |
| Radeon AI PRO R9700 | 640 GB/s GDDR6 |
| NVIDIA DGX Spark | 273 GB/s coherent LPDDR5X |
| AMD Ryzen AI Halo | 256 GB/s LPDDR5X |
| Xring O3 | 113.8 GB/s LPDDR6 |
O100 reaches its bandwidth through the vertical memory stack and dense interconnect rather than a conventional external memory bus.
330 tokens/s on Xiaomi MiMo 3B
Xring O100 runs Xiaomi MiMo 3B at up to 330 tokens per second.
A 3-billion-parameter model occupies approximately:
| Weight precision | Raw weight size |
|---|---|
| 16-bit | 6 GB |
| 8-bit | 3 GB |
| 4-bit | 1.5 GB |
Xiaomi also demonstrated an O3 + O100 dual-chip prototype, with O3 handling system-level work and O100 handling large-model inference.
Xuanwu high-bandwidth matrix bus
O100 uses Xiaomi's Xuanwu high-bandwidth matrix bus to connect the NPU cores and memory subsystem.
It supports parallel processing across the 14 NPU cores, dynamic routing and high-throughput data movement between compute and the stacked DRAM.
120B + 3B dual-model AI Cube
The AI Cube runs two model sizes locally:
- 120B-class large model
- 3B-class small model
Xiaomi describes the system as a fast/slow dual-model design. The smaller model handles fast-response workloads while the 120B model provides the larger parameter budget.
| Weight precision | Approx. raw weight size |
|---|---|
| BF16 / FP16 | 240 GB |
| 8-bit | 120 GB |
| 6-bit | 90 GB |
| 5-bit | 75 GB |
| 4-bit | 60 GB |
| 3-bit | 45 GB |
A 120B model at 4-bit uses about 60 GB for weights. Inference also uses memory for KV cache, runtime buffers and activations.
AI Cube compared with other local-AI systems
The closest product-class comparisons are compact high-memory systems such as NVIDIA DGX Spark and AMD Ryzen AI Halo. Mac Studio and discrete GPU systems provide useful bandwidth and memory reference points.
