Geely Auto and DeepSeek have announced the successful integration of their artificial intelligence (AI) models. This collaboration is set to revolutionize the smart vehicle industry by enhancing human-computer interaction and improving intelligent driving capabilities.
The partnership aims to make AI-driven automotive technology more accessible, ensuring that cutting-edge advancements reach a broader audience.
At the core of this initiative, Geely’s self-developed AI model is now working in tandem with DeepSeek’s R1 model, promising to elevate the in-car experience.
A crucial aspect of this collaboration involves “distillation training,” a process in which DeepSeek’s advanced R1 model refines Geely’s Xingrui car control FunctionCall AI model.
By leveraging the larger AI model’s outputs, this technique enables the development of more efficient and optimized smaller models tailored for specific automotive applications.
Earlier this year, Geely introduced its Xingrui AI model, branding it as the “world’s first full-stack, self-developed, full-scenario AI big model in the automotive industry.”
This advanced AI system consists of language processing, multimodal capabilities, and digital twin models, positioning it as a major milestone in the evolution of AI-powered vehicles.
The technology is designed to enhance natural language understanding, improve driver assistance systems, and create a more interactive and personalized driving experience.
This AI-driven collaboration aligns with a broader transformation within China’s automotive sector, where cloud computing and artificial intelligence are increasingly being utilized to boost the competitiveness of new energy vehicles (NEVs).
Manufacturers are focusing on integrating AI-powered features to enhance vehicle performance and provide customized driving experiences. Geely’s “Smart Geely 2025” strategy underscores its commitment to AI innovation, outlining plans to incorporate advanced technologies such as end-to-end voice interaction, AI-powered digital chassis, and next-generation intelligent driving systems.
The growing significance of AI in electric vehicles (EVs) was recently emphasized by Pan Jian, co-chairman of leading battery manufacturer CATL, at the World Economic Forum in Davos. He highlighted the industry’s shift from conventional “EV (electric vehicle)” to “EIV (intelligent electric vehicle)” in China.
Pan Jian stressed that intelligence is now a key factor driving the rapid expansion of the EV market. He argued that the fusion of “electric” and “intelligence” is unlocking groundbreaking features and user experiences that traditional internal combustion vehicles cannot match.
Through this strategic partnership, Geely and DeepSeek are positioning themselves at the forefront of this intelligent automotive revolution, paving the way for smarter, safer, and more interactive vehicles that cater to the demands of modern consumers.
