Anker launches Eufy MindBase: local AI hub with on-device LLM and 48TB storage
↗
Anker announced the Eufy MindBase, a device combining a local AI hub running an on-device LLM for processing camera footage, a NAS with up to 48TB expandable storage, and a Matter 1.5 smart home controller, all without a monthly subscription fee.
For engineers building smart home systems, MindBase offers a locally-processed alternative to cloud-dependent AI, directly addressing the privacy concerns that previously damaged Eufy's reputation. The combination of on-device LLM, NAS functionality, and Matter 1.5 controller in a single device could simplify smart home architecture by reducing the number of separate hubs and cloud services required.
