From December 25th to 27th, Ideal Auto launched the "2024 Ideal AI Talk" for three consecutive days, sharing the latest thoughts on artificial intelligence, as well as the latest developments in artificial intelligence technology including intelligent driving and Ideal Student. It also announced that Ideal Student, based on its self-developed base model Mind GPT, has entered the mobile phone from the car console. The app was fully launched on December 27th. In addition, Ideal Auto announced that the OTA 7.0 version of the car infotainment system will be fully launched to AD Max users by the end of December, adding AI inference visualization, high-speed end-to-end functions, and upgrading the capabilities of Mind GPT-3o and Mind Diffusion V2.0.
Ideal classmates and intelligent driving are the two core AI products of Ideal Auto. Li Xiang, Chairman and CEO of Ideal Automotive, said, "Our ideal classmates and autonomous driving are usually seen as independent fields. Our large language model Mind GPT is cognitive intelligence, connecting the digital world, while autonomous driving is called spatial intelligence, related to the physical world. We are exploring both fields and firmly believe that the combination of cognitive intelligence and spatial intelligence - which we call VLA (Vision Language Action Model) - is a more trustworthy and pursued opportunity
Li Xiang stated that the vision of Ideal Automobile has been upgraded to "connecting the physical world and the digital world, becoming a leading global artificial intelligence enterprise", and automobiles are the best bridge connecting these two worlds.
From a business perspective, Ideal Auto is an artificial intelligence enterprise. What we need to do is not the intelligence of cars, but the automation of artificial intelligence, and we will promote the popularization of artificial intelligence in every household. From an industry perspective, cars will evolve from transportation tools in the industrial era to space robots in the artificial intelligence era. In terms of understanding the entire world, we will integrate the physical world with the digital world through artificial intelligence, allowing limited space to achieve infinite extension, "said Li Xiang.
The reporter learned that the Ideal Classmate App is an artificial intelligence application that currently has two main functions: "Knowledge Q&A" provides multi domain Q&A capabilities, including automotive, transportation, finance, technology, and other fields, and can handle various text tasks such as writing articles, translating, and creating essay proposals; 'Seeing the World' relies on visual perception ability to help users identify thousands of common items such as menus, paintings, flora and fauna, cars, etc.
From car infotainment to mobile phone, Ideal Student transforms from intelligent cabin assistant to general intelligent assistant. From the perspective of user needs, this is a natural thing to do. The first artificial intelligence product that many children of Ideal Car users come into contact with is Ideal Classmate, which helps them solve various problems through dialogue, such as drawing or doing homework. Ideal Auto hopes to enable over one million car owners and their family members to experience consistent artificial intelligence products not only in cars, but also on wearable devices such as smartphones, computers, and even glasses. Secondly, from a long-term perspective, Ideal Auto believes that with a mastery of the base model, a truly large model product will cover all devices and enable users to independently use all services.
At present, large-scale modeling technology is still in its early stages of development, and many teams are still in the initial stage of chatbots. All participants have the opportunity to explore unknown boundaries. With a family base of over one million and accumulated technology in the field of autonomous driving, Ideal Auto can achieve more effective investment while following excellent competitors.
