Published

on

NEW YORK, April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On April 23, the 2025 TUYA Global Developer Summit officially opened in Shenzhen. Tuya Smart (NYSE: TUYA, HKEX: 2391), a global AI cloud platform service provider, spotlighted the theme of “AI + IoT,” emphasizing the deep integration of artificial intelligence with the Intelligence of Things to reshape how smart devices interact and function. This integration accelerates the widespread adoption of AIoT technologies. During the summit, Tuya introduced its AI Agent Development Platform and released three other major technology engines—Tuya.AI, TuyaOpen, and HEDV—to help developers fully unlock the potential value of AIoT. To further accelerate the global commercialization of AI, Tuya also announced that developers using Tuya solutions can now access Tuya AI Tokens free of charge.

AI Agent Development Platform: Build Custom Intelligent Agents and Unlock Infinite AI Possibilities

The AI Agent Development Platform is designed to provide developers with flexible and efficient tools for managing intelligent agents. It integrates leading global large language models, including DeepSeek, Doubao, Qwen, Tencent Hunyuan, OpenAI, Gemini, and Nova. With just a single line of code, developers can easily connect to any of these models, enabling seamless integration of functions such as text and image generation, image recognition, data analysis, device management, and object model understanding.

With support from Tuya’s AI Agent Development Platform, developers can rapidly create tailored smart agents, ranging from pet-feeding assistants and AI dolls to fitness companions and motivational avatars, thereby enhancing personalized user experiences.

Tuya.AI: Empowering End-to-End AI Hardware Development and Accelerating the Commercialization of AI Value

Tuya.AI delivers out-of-the-box, full-stack AI hardware development solutions for global developers, addressing the core challenges of AI hardware mass production. The offering includes high-performance edge AI modules, low-code embedded frameworks, cloud-based model orchestration, an intelligent cloud brain, and closed-loop AI application integration and deployment.

Tuya.AI not only offers technological and ecosystem advantages but also enables developers to rapidly access commercial markets. Whether in smart home environments, industrial IoT, or smart commercial scenarios, developers can rely on Tuya.AI to quickly complete the entire process, from prototype validation to large-scale deployment. With Tuya’s comprehensive AI toolchains, developers can integrate AI capabilities into smart devices in as little as 10 minutes, significantly enhancing product commercial value and accelerating time-to-market.

TuyaOpen: Staying True to Tuya’s Open-Source DNA, Enabling Developers to Bring Creative Ideas Directly to Market

The deep integration of AI and the physical world is unlocking new business opportunities. However, the foundation of this transformation lies in technological evolution, built upon vast datasets and the validation of diverse scenarios. This evolution requires engaging more developers in the AI field and accelerating the adoption of AI through innovative products. Therefore, open source becomes the key to driving AI commercialization, by offering developers fertile ground for creative implementation.

Tuya has always embraced an open-source philosophy, from its early days as a startup team building an open-source community, to its current role as the enabler of an open, neutral smart ecosystem. Tuya continues to champion openness through its technology platform ecosystem. Backed by years of industry experience and AIoT technology accumulation, Tuya has officially launched TuyaOpen, an open-source, open development framework tailored for the AIoT industry.

TuyaOpen inherits core capabilities from TuyaOS, such as cross-platform compatibility, cross-system integration, modular architecture, and security compliance, and further integrates an end-to-end AI inference engine. It supports multimodal AI capabilities through Tuya Cloud’s smart agent center, achieving seamless cloud-edge integration. Leveraging Tuya’s global supply chain and open ecosystem, TuyaOpen also provides a one-stop path from product development to commercial monetization, significantly shortening time-to-market and helping developers access more business opportunities.

HEDV: Edge Computing Platform Delivering “Industry-Grade” Data Protection

In complex business scenarios such as smart energy and smart campuses, enterprises are increasingly demanding robust data security and customized development capabilities. To address these challenges, Tuya has introduced the HEDV edge computing platform. Featuring a cloud-independent, distributed architecture, HEDV can be flexibly deployed in any data center according to enterprise needs, providing efficient, unified, stable, and scalable smart solutions at low cost.

Built on Tuya’s global DNA, independent data centers, and adherence to leading global cloud security and compliance standards, HEDV enables enterprises to achieve localized deployment in a cost-effective and streamlined manner. This empowers greater autonomy over data, applications, and devices—ensuring the security of critical data while maintaining elastic scalability for high-concurrency scenarios.

Through the release and sharing of these technology engines, Tuya not only equips global developers with powerful tools to implement AIoT but also provides technical backing for bold innovation through its AI cloud platform. Looking ahead, Tuya will continue working alongside global developers to advance technology adoption and usher in the commercial era of AIoT together.

Chelsea FC name fast-growing fintech platform as Principal Partner

LONDON, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chelsea Football Club has today announced a multi-year partnership with Sokin, the embedded finance and payments company used by businesses worldwide. Sokin will be named a Principal Partner and Official Business Payments and FX Partner of Chelsea FC and Chelsea FC Women.

As a Principal Partner, Sokin will be represented on the sleeves of the Chelsea FC men’s, women’s and academy home, away, and third kits from the 2026/27 season.

The partnership brings together two ambitious London-headquartered organisations with worldwide reach – a club with millions of fans across the world and a fintech platform through which businesses move more than $11 billion a year. A club of Chelsea’s scale works in many currencies every day, with partners, competitions and supporters around the world, and needs a financial partner built to handle that.

Sokin gives finance teams business payments, multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, checkout and treasury in one place, so they spend less time juggling banks and providers and keep more of what they move.

As Official Business Payments and FX Partner, Sokin will simplify how Chelsea FC sends, receives and manages money in the currencies the club operates in.

The Sokin logo will feature on the sleeve of the Chelsea shirt for the first time [when the men’s team host Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 24th October.]

Jason Gannon, President at Chelsea FC said:

“At Chelsea, we seek to partner with organisations that share our ambition and innovative mindset. Sokin’s expertise in business payments, and their focus on making both simpler for the businesses they serve, makes them a natural fit for the Club. We are pleased to welcome Sokin to the Chelsea family and look forward to working together in the years ahead.”

Vroon Modgill, CEO and founder at Sokin said:

“Chelsea plays on the biggest stage in world football, and its business runs in dozens of currencies. Sokin was built for that with regulated, multi-currency payments and foreign exchange for organisations that operate internationally. We’re proud to be the platform behind the business payments and FX of one of the most iconic teams in football. Sokin’s platform serves businesses in more than 170 countries. We’re thrilled to be partners for the season ahead. An organisation as sophisticated as Chelsea doesn’t leave its finances to chance.”

About Sokin

Sokin is the financial layer global business runs on. Businesses can transact, convert and hold money in 70+ currencies across 170+ countries. Some businesses use Sokin to manage global finance in-house. Others build it into their products to power financial experiences for their customers. Businesses move more than $9 billion a year on licenses Sokin holds in 36+ countries and infrastructure Sokin owns. Founded in 2019, Sokin has raised over $100 million from investors including Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital and Prysm Capital.

About Chelsea Football Club

Chelsea Football Club is one of the biggest, most successful football clubs globally and our men’s team are reigning world champions, having won the four-yearly FIFA Club World Cup in 2025. Our women’s team, Chelsea Women, are also multiple trophy winners.

Founded in 1905, Chelsea is London’s most central football club, based at the iconic 40,000-capacity Stamford Bridge stadium. Nicknamed the Blues, the club lifted the Champions League for the first time in 2012 and domestically has won the Premier League five times, the FA Cup eight times, the Football League Cup five times and the Football League Championship once, in 1955.

The Chelsea Women’s team have enjoyed a huge amount of success and in 2025 won the FA Women’s Super League for a sixth consecutive year and the eighth time overall. The Women’s FA Cup has been won on six occasions. We have also captured the FA Women’s League Cup four times as well as reaching the UEFA Women’s Champions League final in 2021. In two seasons, 2020/21 and 2024/25, a domestic treble of trophies was secured.

The Chelsea Foundation boasts one of the most extensive community initiatives in sport, helping to improve the lives of children and young people all over the world.
