Moore Threads rolled out MTT AIOS version 1.6.1 for its AICUBE domestic AI hub, adding Matter and ZigBee protocol support alongside voice-directed network storage.

The software update links third-party home appliances and personal media directly to the device’s Xiaomai AI Agent without requiring new hardware.

Users can issue spoken commands to run multi-device routines across lighting, air conditioners, curtains, pet feeders and robot vacuums. Instead of issuing separate instructions to single machines, owners can group actions into automated domestic sequences managed locally through the central unit.

Local Storage and File Access

The system update introduces direct file management through Olares, a software package available in the hub’s application marketplace. The integration allows consumers to create, duplicate, relocate and delete files on local network-attached storage via conversational prompts, avoiding manual desktop directory navigation.

Photo retrieval relies on semantic indexing. A user can search personal folders by describing past events, such as a holiday taken the previous month, rather than querying exact file titles. When linked with workplace or consumer messaging services including WeChat or Feishu, the hub’s assistant can locate images and send them straight into ongoing chat windows.

Remote interactions run through a companion mobile application distributed on Apple’s App Store and major Android marketplaces. The client handles remote file browsing, two-way data transfers and automated photo backups from mobile handsets to the hub’s drives.

“Streaming video capabilities received expanded browser access for external entertainment platforms.”

Interface and Media Playback

Moore Threads adjusted the primary visual interface by introducing a desktop-pet display mode. The graphic replaces the standard full-screen virtual agent with an animated figure whose appearance shifts between idle, listening and processing states.

Streaming video capabilities received expanded browser access for external entertainment platforms. Users can pause, seek and adjust video tracks using conversational voice controls during playback.

Ecosystem Fragmentation in Consumer Tech

Connecting hardware through Matter and ZigBee tackles the fragmentation that slows smart-home adoption across Asian households, where consumers mix devices across multiple brand ecosystems. By positioning the AICUBE as a local coordinator, Moore Threads attempts to pull domestic control away from smartphone software ecosystems and cloud-only home hubs.

The immediate challenge lies in operational consistency. Moore Threads has not published an exhaustive compatibility roster, leaving open the question of how smoothly non-certified household appliances will execute complex multi-device routines without manual setup hurdles.

Expanding From Graphics Chips to Living Rooms

The software rollout follows the initial market launch of the AICUBE as a dedicated home hardware hub, extending Moore Threads’ consumer footprint beyond graphics silicon. The semiconductor company previously brought day-zero support for Kimi K3.1 Pro to its enterprise-grade MTT S5000 graphic processors.

Consumer reception will hinge on performance stability across third-party smart appliances as users install the MTT AIOS 1.6.1 update through their home network connections.
