当AI开始从屏幕走向现实世界，智能硬件的竞争逻辑也在发生变化。
过去，消费者购买一款AI硬件，往往是在选择厂商预先定义好的功能，品牌将预设功能打包交付，用户只能在厂商划定的框架内适配自身场景。但随着大模型能力不断增强，以及Vibe Coding的兴起，AI硬件的边界正在被重新定义：用户不再只是功能的使用者，也可以成为产品的创造者，普通人也能用自然语言亲手创造专属的AI硬件。
日前在2026观猹大会上，由小米技术委创新产品团队孵化的开源AI硬件HachimoDock首次公开亮相，这台巴掌大小的桌面设备，跳出了传统AI硬件定义的固有逻辑，可由用户按个人喜好自由改造，集成了个性化桌宠、语音操控电脑端Agent、智能家居联动、自定义组件创作等能力，试图成为大众入门Vibe Coding的第一台AI硬件，让更多人体会用自然语言创造一台万能桌面搭子的乐趣。
以桌宠为交互载体，让AI助手从冰冷的指令执行者，变成兼具情绪价值与生产能力的桌面伙伴，这是HachimoDock的设计理念。HachimoDock内置西高地小狗形象，用户也可上传宠物照片、头像或原创角色，或从社区导入作品，定制专属桌宠，并设置名字、人设和音色。
据介绍，用户可以通过语音直接与桌宠进行互动，多台设备还可以互相接话，它会将用户意图转化为各类任务派发给电脑端Codex、WorkBuddy等各类Agent，例如查资料、整理文件、编写代码等。
同时，HachimoDock屏幕上也会同步展示思考、执行、等待确认等任务状态，并以桌宠的表情、动作、简短提示及声音提醒反馈进展。而在安全隐私层面，涉及授权的重要操作，仍由相应客户端完成确认。
设备的个性化也延伸至硬件本身。用户可以更换键帽、机械键盘轴，调整颜色与按键手感，并通过触屏、按键和摇杆操作不同组件。对于一款放在桌面上的设备而言，这些设计既增加了操作的灵活性，也让它更接近用户可以自行搭配的桌面伙伴。
桌宠+Agent，构成了HachimoDock的基础体验，但自定义组件创作，才是这款设备更值得关注的部分。通常情况下，硬件的功能边界在产品出厂时就已经确定，厂商通过系统更新增加功能，开发者则需要遵循既定的接口和开发规范。
HachimoDock正在尝试改变这一关系。借助Vibe Coding，用户可以通过自然语言与Coding Agent协作，将自己的想法转化为能够在设备上运行的组件。根据团队介绍，部分个性化组件可以在分钟级完成创作，让用户不必从零开始掌握完整的编程流程，按键、摇杆、语音和触屏四种交互方式相结合 ，则让创作拥有更多可能。
举个简单的例子，习惯关注市场行情的用户，可以制作自选股组件，查看价格和涨跌情况；经常使用AI工具的用户，可以制作Token用量仪表盘，或者将电脑状态、待办事项放在小屏幕上；希望改善日常生活习惯的用户，则可以创建天气、番茄钟、喝水提醒等工具。
游戏和趣味工具同样可以成为创作内容。用户可体验贪吃蛇、迷宫、接球、切水果等玩法，或尝试电子宠物、转盘、抽签、抛硬币、塔罗牌、敲木鱼等组件，并按自己的想法修改。社区中的现有作品可供参考，完成的组件也能继续分享，让其他人体验和改进。
不止于桌面场景，HachimoDock的能力还向家庭空间延伸。通过联动小米Miloco，用户可以语音发起家居控制，设备小屏可切换为家居控制台，呈现设备状态、灯光控制和监控画面等内容，让一台桌面设备同时成为电脑Agent与智能家居的交互入口。
小米技术委创新产品团队负责人表示，“我们希望，把定义HachimoDock的空间留给每一位使用者，让更多人以较低成本，体验AI硬件创作的快乐。” 据悉，HachimoDock的硬件自制成本大约150元，已在GitHub公开全部软件源码，并提供完整的硬件物料清单、结构件模型及装配教程，用户可以按照自己的想法随意修改。
某种程度上来看，HachimoDock的价值不仅在于提供多少种现成玩法，更在于尝试让用户拥有持续扩展功能的能力。当然，Vibe Coding并不意味着所有创意都能毫无障碍地变成成熟产品，复杂功能仍然涉及开发、调试和适配。但它确实有机会缩短从想法到原型的距离，让硬件开发不再完全是专业开发者的专属领域。
另外，对于HachimoDock这款产品来说，降低创造门槛只是第一步，如何让用户持续创作，保证活跃度，并让AI生成的组件真正稳定、实用，仍是需要面对的挑战，而这也是整个AI硬件行业的共同课题。

As AI begins to move from the screen to the real world, the competitive logic of smart hardware is changing.
In the past, consumers had purchased an AI hardware that was often predefined by the choice of the manufacturer, the brand would deliver the predefined functionality in package and the user would be able to fit its own scenes only within the framework defined by the manufacturer. But with LLM ' s growing capacity and the rise of Vibe Coding, the boundaries of AI hardware are being redefined: users are no longer only functional users, they can also be producers of products, and ordinary people can create unique AI hardware in their own hands in natural languages.
At a recent conference at 2026, open-source AI hardware, HachimoDock, hatched by a team of millitechnologies, was opened for the first time. The desktop device, which is hand-held in size, is out of the inherent logic of the definition of traditional AI hardware, which can be freely adapted by the user to his/her preferences, and which brings together personalized table pets, voice-maniping computer owners, Agent, smart-house associations, and self-defined component creations, in an attempt to become the first AAI hardware to enter Vibe Coding, so that more humans can create the pleasure of a living table in a natural language.
With table petation as an interactive carrier, AI ' s assistant has been transformed from a cold command implementer to a desktop partner with emotional value and productive capacity, a design concept for HachimoDock. The image of a dog in the western highlands in HachimoDock can also be uploaded by a user with a photograph of a pet, a head image or an original role, or imported from the community, customized for the exclusive table, with a name, a person and voice.
It was stated that users could interact directly with the table pets through voice and that multiple devices could also connect to each other, which would translate user intentions into assignments to various categories of Agents, such as computer-based Codex, WorldBuddy, such as checking information, organizing documents, writing codes, etc.
At the same time, the HachimoDock screen also displays the state of the task of thinking, performing, waiting for confirmation, and alerts the progress of feedback with a table-based look, action, short tips and sound. At the level of security privacy, however, important operations involving authorization are still confirmed by the respective client.
Personalization of the equipment also extends to the hardware itself. The user can change the cap, the mechanical keyboard axle, adjust the colour and the key handle, and operate different components by touchscreen, key and roller. For a unit of equipment placed on a desktop, these designs increase operational flexibility and bring it closer to the desktop partner that the user can match with.
Table pet +Agent, which forms the foundational experience of HachimoDock, but the self-defined component creation is the more interesting part of the device. Typically, the functional boundaries of hardware are determined at the time the product is produced, the manufacturer adds functionality through system upgrades and the developers follow established interfaces and development specifications.
HachimoDock is trying to change this relationship. With the help of Vibe Coding, users can work with Coding Agent in natural languages to transform their ideas into components that can run on equipment. According to the team presentation, some individualized components can be created at the minute level, so that the user does not have to master the full programming process from zero, and the four interactive methods of buttoning, swinging, voice and touch screen combine to make creation more possible.
To give a simple example, users who are used to market practices can create self-selected stock components to see prices and drops; users who regularly use AI tools can make Token's meter, or can put computer status and to-dos on small screens; and users who wish to improve their daily life habits can create tools such as weather, tomato clocks, water alarms, etc.
Game and fun tools can be the same as creative content. Users can experience snake-eating, maze-laying, fruit-cutting, etc., or try electronic pets, turnboards, drawing lots, coins, tarot cards, wooden fish, etc., and modify them as they see fit. Existing works in the community are available for reference, and completed components can continue to be shared for others to experience and improve.
Beyond the desktop scene, the capacity of HachimoDock extends to family space. By connecting Mimlioco, users can initiate home control with voice, and small screens can be switched to home control tables, displaying equipment status, light control and surveillance images, so that a desktop device can also be an interface between the computer Agent and the intelligent home.
“We want to leave the space for the definition of HachimoDock to every user, so that more people can experience the pleasure of AI hardware at a lower cost.” It is known that the hardware of HachimoDock, at a cost of approximately $150, has been made publicly available in GitHub, with a complete list of hardware materials, a structure package model and a assembly curriculum, which users can modify as they wish.
In a way, the value of HachimoDock lies not only in the availability of the number of ready-made games, but also in the attempt to give users the ability to expand their functions on a continuous basis. Of course, Vibe Coding does not mean that all ideas can be transformed into mature products without hindrance, and complex functions still involve development, calibration and adaptation. However, it does have the opportunity to reduce the distance from ideas to prototypes, so that hardware development is no longer the exclusive domain of professional developers.
Moreover, for the product HachimoDock, lowering the creation threshold is only the first step, and it remains a challenge for users to continue to create, to ensure a dynamic and to make AI-generated components truly stable and operational, which is common to the entire AI hardware industry.
