Tmall Elf beat us to it. This AIGC hardware is a bit cool.
The new product IN sugar 3 Pro released by Tmall Elf on May 9 is said to have the ability to upgrade AIGC. At present, the big model is out of the circle, and we want to upgrade an engineering machine to experience it. It turned out to be really fun.
The IT House uses an INterstellar black color matching Tmall Elf in Sugar 3 Pro. I have to say that this time, compared with the previous generation, Tmall Elf IN Sugar 3 Pro has been fully upgraded in terms of appearance, function and positioning.
Of course, the most important thing is to add the function of upgrading AIGC dialogue for the first time.
I thought everyone would access this ability first when using more smart phones, but I didn’t expect to be robbed by the speakers.
Next, Xiaobian can’t wait to share the experience with you.
appearance design
Tmall Elf IN Sugar 3 Pro contINues the design of the front sound of the in sugar series in appearance, and the whole machine is almost the size of an ordinary mobile phone box.
Interstellar black is a kind of deep black, and except for some icons and Logo, the rest can be said to be all black, which brings a high visual sense of unity.
In front of the sound box are two symmetrical solid color reticulated perforated speakers.
The middle part of the speaker is the display screen of the digital tube, and the surface of the screen is made of frosted material, so it is difficult to see that it is a screen in the state of resting screen.
The whole front face has elegant curved surface changes to form a comfortable arc, which is simple but beautiful.
The most eye-catching thing at the top of the speaker is the mechanical damping knob, and there is a concentric wire drawing texture in the middle of the knob, which looks very retro. Next to the knob are two keys and a microphone, which are arranged in an orderly way.
The back of the fuselage is also relatively simple.
The overall design of Tmall Elf IN Sugar 3 Pro is square, and the addition of the mechanical knob at the top makes him look a bit like an old-fashioned portable radio, revealing a retro fashion feeling of the Millennium.
Let the tide play art and smart home merge, perhaps this is the aesthetic concept behINd the Tmall Elf in Sugar 3 Pro.
In a word, this is a smart speaker with fashion and national fashion temperament. It is simple but meaningful, and it can also be a very good decoration and embellishment at home.
AIGC dialogue function experience
Generative AI cognitive big model technology has set off a new wave of artificial intelligence around the world. ChatGPT-like products around the cognitive model are also emerging.
However, many large model products we see at present are still "software".
On the one hand, you need to open a link or App through an additional terminal to use it. On the other hand, most of them can only communicate with words or pictures, and their ability is somewhat limited.
It is certain that the future of the generative big model must be closely combined with hardware and exist in the form of hardware products, so as to better integrate into the consumer market.
The generative large model ability INtroduced by Tmall Elf in Sugar 3 Pro will make people feel that the future seems to have arrived in advance.
Let’s first experience the AIGC dialogue ability of IN Sugar 3 Pro. Before the experience, it should be noted that this function is still a demo version, an informal online version.
IN addition, it is suggested that you turn on the natural dialogue function of In Sugar 3 Pro before use. You can speak the voice command to the speaker directly, or you can open it manually on the bound Tmall Elf App.
IN this round of dialogue, Xiaobian’s first question was deliberately asked in a hesitant and paused tone. In Sugar 3 Pro was not disturbed by modal particles and pauses, and accurately understood the meaning of the question, and gave a poem by Su Shi.
The following is a text version of the dialogue record that can be viewed in the Tmall Elf App, for your reference.
The second question, the subject of Xiaobian is "He", and IN Sugar 3 Pro accurately understands that he refers to Su Shi according to the context, and then gives some examples of Su Shi’s words related to the moon.
Then Xiaobian asked him to write a poem about the moon, and it really created a modern poem about the moon, and this poem is still highly readable.
The fourth question, Xiao Bian INterrupted IN the middle of in sugar 3 Pro’s answer to the third question. In sugar 3 Pro quickly responded, stopped answering the third question and quickly gave the answer to the fourth question. As for what should be paid attention to when writing poetry, the results it gives are relatively complete and correct.
From this round of dialogue, we can see that the AIGC dialogue ability of IN Sugar 3 Pro is still relatively easy to use at present. Just call the "Tmall Elf" wake-up word for the first time, and then you can have a continuous dialogue, and the tone is briefly paused and there are modal particles, which does not affect its understanding. The ability to grasp the context is good and the output answers are basically reliable.
Of course, because it is a demo version, it is inevitable that there will be wrong answers. You can try to ask it several times.
It is worth mentionINg that the dialogue of asking in sugar 3 Pro to help me write my composition, the first question is long, and there are many restrictions: writing a composition, the beginning, the theme is "Unforgettable Travel", and it is limited to 30 words. IN sugar 3 Pro has got all these restrictions, and there are no omissions.
IN order to further test the ability of in sugar 3 Pro to understand long questions, Xiao Bian thought of another question to test it.
In the above question, Xiaobian asked it to help write a recruitment copy, and there were many restrictions. Tmall Elf also gave an excellent copy, which not only had no restrictions, complete content, but also relaxed and humorous overall style. This copy can basically be used directly.
In addition, it should be noted that if the sentence is long, it is best not to pause for more than 3 seconds in the middle of expressing semantics, that is, a short pause is ok, but not too long, otherwise the Tmall Elf will think that your question has been expressed.
In short, after experiencing the current demo version, Xiao Bian is thinking: Maybe the first generation of AIGC hardware may really come.
You know, the big model falls in the consumer scene of voice interaction and visual generation, which is not a small technical challenge, and it needs to solve many difficult problems that two-way open dialogue is more complicated than text interaction.
As far as the experience is concerned, the solution of these problems by Tmall Elf IN Sugar 3 Pro is still beyond expectations. Although the current demo version also has shortcomings, it is enough to make people look forward to its next evolution.
Acoustics and interactive experience
As a speaker product, the sound quality is always a place that everyone cares about.
Sugar Line is regarded as the close-to-the-people series of Tmall Elf, but this time, the acoustics are still improved. Under the family-style front sound design of Tmall Elf, double speakers are introduced for the first time, and the volume is double, and each speaker is a 5W high-power high-fidelity full-range speaker.
At the same time, it also adopts the patent of integrated cavity design, and effectively improves the sound quality with the inverted acoustic structure. With the 450CC large sound cavity and HIFI analog public amplifier, the high volume fills the space, and the low frequency is more natural, and the dive is about 28Hz higher than that of the first generation of IN sugar.
IN the actual experience, Xiaobian first used it to listen to the song "Ferry" by Cai Qin, and recorded the playback effect of In Sugar 3 Pro. Although it is different from the actual listening feeling, it can also be used as a reference for everyone.
At the begINnINg of the song "Ferry", in Sugar 3 Pro still shows a good bass dive, but the bass is heavy but not weak. However, when teacher Cai Qin’s tenor rings, in Sugar 3 Pro can also present a round and full timbre.
IN sugar 3 Pro restores the sound of the prelude guitar very clearly, and then the screams, applause and whistle of the crowd can also be clearly shown, and the resolution of the details is good. There is also a sense of space, but it is not particularly obvious. The low-frequency drums and bass are still full and powerful.
Then listen to Méav’s One I Love.
"ONE I LOVE" is a female solo, close to a cantata, especially at the beginning. The singer’s lip sounds and breath sounds when biting words are very delicate. IN Sugar 3 Pro can still present these delicate lip sounds, and at the same time, it is full and sweet to the human voice, especially with a high-pitched part in the middle, which makes it feel as if it is going to break through the roof.
Generally speakINg, considering its price in 200 yuan, the sound quality performance of Tmall Elf in Sugar 3 Pro is a bit value for money, which can fully meet the requirements of ordinary users for sound quality.
IN terms of interaction, Tmall Elf in Sugar 3 Pro has also made innovations, adding infrared remote control+self-learning function, built-in infrared emission module, and 360-degree omnidirectional infrared emission. The infrared learning function can also enable old household appliances outside the infrared code library to learn and control, covering more than 3,000 mainstream household appliance brands such as Midea, Dyson, TCL, Skyworth, Panasonic, Gree, Oaks, Cobos, Siemens, Haier and Jiuyang.
In addition, it also supports WIFI+voice intelligent control, which can wake up the AIoT ecology of Tmall Elf by saying "Tmall Elf, Find a teammate" and stably control various devices such as TV, air conditioner, fan, integrated stove and set-top box at home.
Therefore, when you buy back the Tmall Elf IN Sugar 3 Pro, don’t just use it as a tool for listening to songs. Maybe it can also bring you a smarter home life experience.

The biggest difference between smart speakers and traditional speakers must be "intelligence".
From this perspective, Tmall Elf IN Sugar 3 Pro is actually quite a milestone for the development of the category of smart speakers.
Because of the introduction of AIGC’s dialogue ability, Tmall Elf is more personalized, emotional and able to chat. You will feel that smart speakers are changing from instrumental assistants to more emotional AI partners.
At the same time, Xiaobian learned that today, Tmall Elf has another smart glasses engineering machine connected to the AIGC function.
At present, bloggers have also experienced this smart glasses engineering machine, which can carry out intelligent voice interaction at any time, not only can accompany users to exercise immediately, give food suggestions, but also chat with role raiders when playing games …
It seems that I have an AIGC assistant with me.
This means that the big model will be combined with more and more intelligent terminals in the future, and will move from home to more scenes. This is like the combination of intelligent soul and body, forming an intelligent assistant who can provide services for us at any time.
At home, smart speakers are such assistants to help us manage smart homes and provide emotional companionship;
At work, mobile phones, computers and glasses can also become such intelligent assistants, helping to handle meeting minutes and other matters like secretaries;
When driving, the intelligent cockpit is transformed into an assistant to communicate with the assisted driving or automatic driving system to improve the entertainment experience in the car …
In a word, the combination of personalized big model and portable terminal is definitely a trend. Their combination will make us see Jarvis, a super intelligent assistant in Iron Man, not out of reach …
This is the next super "window".
And the beginning of everything may be starting from smart speakers. After all, this is the core of smart home from single product intelligence to whole house intelligence; Then headphones, mobile phones, glasses and watches, cars … finally spread all over us.
ThINking of this, I can’t help but feel that the emergence of Tmall Elf in Sugar 3 Pro is even more profound …
This is a small step for AI to change the world, but it is a big step for the development of smart speakers.
At this poINt, the AIGC ability of Tmall Elf in Sugar 3 Pro is also worth early adopters.
