You've heard of futuristic homes, but what about mini smart homes? AC Future and Italian design firm Pininfarina brought just that to CES 2025. These aren't just tiny houses; they come packed with features that make them sustainable and high-tech. The flagship model, AI-THu, starts at $98, 000 and is a modest 400 square feet. But don't let the size fool you. This smart home has built-in speakers, Wi-Fi, home security, and more. Plus, it's designed to be modular, so you can add extra space, like a primary bedroom or patio, all the way up to 1, 200 square feet.

One cool thing about the AI-THu is its AI technology. It controls lighting, heating, cooling, and appliances. Worried about the environment? Don't be. This home comes with solar panels for electricity and water heating, a water recycling system, and even a way to generate water from the atmosphere. It can go off-grid too!

If you love the idea of living off-grid, check out AC Future's other models. There's a 24-foot home trailer and a drivable home for those who want to live the van life with tech. But here's a heads-up: you'll need to wait a bit. Preorders start in the fourth quarter of 2026. Oh, and you'll need to use a crypto app from Biomatrix to secure your preorder.

Should you buy one? That's the big question. These homes are charged with technology and sustainable features, but we haven't seen how well they perform yet. Until real-world tests are done, it might be wise to wait. Meanwhile, follow our CES coverage to see the coolest tech finds and potential winners!
