Overview
We will not dwell on Jiyue's sales figures. For Baidu, having a mature platform to host AI technology matters more than raw volume. At Jiyue's AI technology conference, Jiyue CEO Xia Yiping emphasized the key role of large models in intelligent vehicle technology.
Intelligent vehicles are more than transportation; they are a new living space. Xia Yiping highlighted three core capabilities that a truly intelligent vehicle should possess: natural communication, free mobility, and self-improvement.
- Natural communication: Vehicles should communicate with people in a seamless, human-like way.
- Free mobility: Vehicles must be able to move safely and freely in complex traffic conditions, with precise localization and navigation.
- Self-improvement: Vehicles should have the ability to learn and evolve, becoming more capable and user-friendly over time.
The following sections focus on the role of large models.
1. Deep Integration of Large Models and User Experience
Jiyue 01's value stems not only from its hardware technology but also from deep integration between software and large AI models. Jiyue 01 users can interact with the vehicle via natural speech, and this interaction mode is forming new user habits. Reported metrics show a voice interaction penetration rate around 98%, with an average of about 63 interactions per vehicle per day, well above industry averages.
The Wenxin Yiyan service on Jiyue 01 has an average of 7.1 calls per day across all voice interactions, accounting for approximately 11% of average calls. This indicates increasing user reliance on intelligent voice interaction.
Recommendation capability based on large models was an important part of the 1.4 update. Jiyue 01 now supports contextual natural voice conversations, allowing users to have more natural and coherent dialogues with the vehicle and receive more personalized and precise services. For example, users can use natural voice commands to control entertainment functions, such as watching shows, playing music, or even asking the vehicle to tell a joke. This interaction model can improve convenience and enrich the driving experience.
2. Large Models and Vehicle Self-Improvement
Role of large models in vehicle self-improvement.
Jiyue 01 uses large models to learn and evolve, continuously optimizing and upgrading features to address user needs and feedback. This self-improvement capability is one of the key differentiators between intelligent vehicles and traditional vehicles.
Role of large models in future intelligent ecosystems.
Jiyue is working toward deep integration of a human-vehicle-home ecosystem, relying on large-model intelligence to deliver a more comprehensive and intelligent experience. This ecosystem would extend beyond in-vehicle interaction to aspects of the home and daily life.
Conclusion
Focusing solely on cost reduction or sales volume resembles traditional manufacturing practices. Large models play a central role in the development of intelligent vehicle technology: they enhance user experience, enable vehicles to learn and evolve, and lay the groundwork for building future intelligent ecosystems.
