Tuya Smart unveils collaboration with Mistral AI, incorporating their extensive model, with the aim of boosting AI hardware advancement across Europe.
In the rapidly evolving world of AI, Tuya Smart, a leading IoT cloud platform, has made a significant stride by integrating Le Chat, the latest AI model from Mistral AI, into its Cloud Developer Platform. As of mid-2025, Mistral AI has launched a revamped version of its AI tool, Le Chat, designed for both consumer and enterprise use [1].
The integration of Le Chat aims to enhance conversational AI capabilities available to developers building smart home and IoT applications. This move empowers devices and applications on the Tuya platform with more advanced natural language understanding and AI-driven interaction, improving user experience and enabling more sophisticated AI-powered automation.
The impact of this integration is threefold. Firstly, it enhances the developer ecosystem by providing direct access to cutting-edge conversational AI via the Tuya cloud. Secondly, it improves end-user experience across Tuya-powered smart devices through intelligent, seamless communication interfaces. Lastly, it accelerates AI adoption in IoT, positioning both Mistral AI and Tuya as leaders in embedding generative AI into connected products.
Le Chat, which is 13 times faster than ChatGPT and boasts superior image generation capabilities, is a fully open-source application that processes 1,100 tokens per second [2]. The integration with Tuya Smart allows developers to seamlessly integrate audio, video, image, and text processing capabilities with just one SDK, making AI hardware development more accessible and efficient.
Tuya's commitment to data localisation and an open ecosystem strategy aligns with Europe's evolving AI hardware development landscape. The company has made long-term investments in privacy protection and ensures full compliance with the EU Artificial Intelligence Act [3]. This integration enables localized data collection, storage, and processing, ensuring compliance with Europe's stringent data security requirements.
The European AI market is driven by demands for data security and AI hardware innovation. Tuya aims to offer lower entry barriers and higher efficiency in AI hardware development for European developers to seize new opportunities in the AI-driven era. The Tuya Cloud Developer Platform, which has attracted over 1.26 million developers and empowered more than 2,800 smart product categories, is a testament to the platform's success in this mission.
Tuya has established partnerships with European brands like Schneider, Danfoss, Hama, and Calex, and its integration of Le Chat marks a step in Tuya's expansion within the European AI ecosystem. The company remains committed to deepening its presence in Europe and introducing a new era of smart living.
Le Chat supports both iOS and Android, making it accessible to a wide range of devices. Tuya Smart offers developers an efficient and flexible AI hardware development solution through its mature T-series modules and AI hardware development platform.
At the Paris AI Summit, Le Chat became the focal point of industry discussions, underscoring its potential impact in enabling AI-enhanced smart device functionality and developer empowerment on the Tuya platform. While concrete quantitative data on user adoption or performance metrics of this integration is not yet available, the prominence of Mistral’s Le Chat as a recently revamped AI tool with premium features suggests strong potential impact.
