In this new era of vigorously advancing new quality productive forces, new technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence, and large language models are emerging. The auto industry is now at a crucial stage of digital & intelligent, high-end, and green transformation. Amid this transformation, FAW Group, with its forward-looking strategic vision and technological strength, is leading the industry onto a new path powered by an AI technology matrix to drive digital & intelligent transformation.

 

AI Applications in Smart Cockpits Reach New Heights

 

Recently, FAW Group has made significant progress in the field of intelligent connected vehicles.

 

In February this year, FAW Hongqi's Jiuzhang Platform Lingxi Smart Cockpit achieved deep integration with DeepSeek. Currently, the Lingxi Smart Cockpit has realized mass production applications for voice-based chat and text-to-image LLMs. By integrating DeepSeek, the smart cockpit has significantly enhanced its semantic understanding capabilities, making functions like knowledge Q&A more efficient and accurate, thereby delivering a smoother and more intelligent interactive experience for users.

 

In recent years, FAW Group has been intensifying its efforts in customized R&D of LLMs, aiming to bring more intelligent application scenarios to life. Leveraging DeepSeek's voice cloud-based dialogue decision-making engine and rich perceptual information, it has achieved precise intent recognition and distribution for users' complex contexts and scenarios, greatly improving the success rate of voice interactions.

 

Moving forward, FAW Group will continue to break through in voice LLM decision-making engine technology, Agent technology, and digital twin technology, to propel the AI applications of Hongqi's smart cockpit to a new level.

 

Self-developed AI Infuses Vitality into Enterprise Operations

 

In advancing the R&D of self-developed LLMs, FAW Group has launched its enterprise AI assistant—"Hongqi Yunmei". By learning enterprise-wide knowledge and processes, hundreds of millions of lines of IT code, and corporate indicator data, it has established a multi-agent collaborative framework and developed an end-to-end chain encompassing "DingTalk-based user queries, multi-agent scheduling and routing, in-depth retrieval of domain knowledge, and LLM inference generation".

 

The emergence of "Hongqi Yunmei" has not only transformed daily office work, business handling, IT software development, and corporate decision-making models but has also provided employees with a more convenient and efficient knowledge acquisition experience, lowering the barriers to business handling and shortening processing cycles. Additionally, it offers IT developers a "user-friendly and practical" AI assistant, assisting in completing a substantial amount of development work. For management, it offers indicator insights and intelligent analysis services, facilitating corporate intelligent operations and aiding decision-making.

 

Exploring New Technologies to Boost Product R&D

 

Committed to innovation-driven growth and the acceleration of new quality productive forces, FAW Group has continuously improved the efficiency and quality of modeling design. Recently, the Modeling Design Institute of FAW R&D Institute initiated research on AIGC technology and achieved independent innovation from scratch. This effort led to the development of Hongqi's proprietary LLM V1.3 and the "Yunmei Zhihui" platform.

 

 

Currently, Hongqi's proprietary LLM V1.3 has been successfully applied to the R&D of Hongqi EH7, Tiangong 08, and concept cars, increasing the efficiency of producing exterior and interior design renderings by 20%. Meanwhile, the application of AIGC technology has effectively accelerated the automotive design process and further reduced R&D costs. To date, the "Yunmei Zhihui" platform has generated over 240,000 automotive design images, enabling diverse and innovative design solutions. This provides robust decision-making support for Hongqi's modeling design and drives high-quality product R&D.

 

Notably, digital & intelligent tools were utilized by the R&D team to create AIGC graphic works, The Red Glory Across the Land and 75 Years of Glory—The Pillars of a Great Power, which were awarded "Top 10 AIGC Image Works" and "Outstanding AIGC Image Works" by central enterprises in 2024.

 

This year marks the first year of FAW Group's "1174" comprehensive digital & intelligent transformation strategy. The group will fully commit to advancing this transformation, so as to reshape the future of the auto industry.
