In 2026, artificial intelligence is moving beyond model scale toward real-world execution—autonomy in complex environments, clear safety boundaries, and continuous learning. SDMC’s Home AI Agent, Cedar, is advancing alongside this shift. With its latest upgrade, Cedar introduces an Open Capability Framework and enhanced edge intelligence, enabling continuous growth of capabilities and support for autonomous tasks.

From Predefined Rules to Dynamic Capability Growth

Cedar integrates the latest Gemini large model capabilities, combining multimodal perception with adaptive learning. It continuously understands the home environment and user behavior, turning daily interactions into a personalized “home memory.”

This creates a proactive observe–understand–decide loop. Cedar moves beyond passive execution and becomes an active service provider. Over time, it learns user preferences and routines, allowing its skill set to grow dynamically. It can intelligently coordinate TVs, speakers, robots, and other connected devices—delivering a comfortable, intuitive, and increasingly personalized smart living experience.

Open Capability Framework: Connecting More AI Home Services

This transforms the system from a fixed, pre-configured setup into an open and extensible architecture. As the ecosystem grows, Cedar continuously gains new capabilities, covering more home scenarios and forming a flexible capability network—keeping services aligned with changing user needs.

Edge AI Agent: Supporting Local Task Handling

In addition to its cloud-supported intelligence, Cedar provides edge AI capabilities, enabling certain tasks to be handled directly on home gateway devices.

This allows local loops for perception, decision-making, and execution, improving privacy and responsiveness for supported tasks. Devices can perform self-monitoring and basic troubleshooting locally, which ensures essential functions continue even when connectivity fluctuates. This helps shift routine operations toward AI-assisted automation, reducing manual intervention for operators and supporting operational efficiency.

Advancing AI Home for a Connected Global Ecosystem

Looking ahead, SDMC will continue to integrate AI with operator home services, strengthen edge computing infrastructure, and accelerate the adoption of AI Home solutions. By building an open, collaborative, and continuously improving ecosystem, SDMC aims to bring smarter, more enjoyable living experiences to families worldwide.
