Philips Hue Chooses Open-Weight AI Models, Citing Unpredictable Updates in Closed Ones

Philips Hue's new AI assistant uses open-weight GLM models, which let the company inspect and freeze a specific version. Head of technology George Yianni said closed-source models can change behavior silently through background updates, risking broken automations. Hue pinned its model version and runs the automation engine locally on the Hue Bridge Pro, announced at IFA.
