According to a report by Late Auto, BYD is accelerating its research and development in the field of artificial intelligence. Nie Pengcheng, the former chief technology expert of Zero One Everything, joined BYD's Advanced Technology Research and Development Center in November 2024. He will primarily be responsible for work related to AI supercomputing and may participate in the development of AI applications. Nie Pengcheng has nearly 12 years of rich experience in AI computing, injecting new vitality into BYD's technological advancements.
To accelerate the speed of technological development, BYD has recruited experienced talents from large model companies. This decision reflects BYD's ambition in intelligent technology, particularly in the integration of automotive and artificial intelligence. Before joining BYD, Nie Pengcheng was involved in the management of large computing resources and the development of foundational models, making him a key candidate for achieving technological breakthroughs at BYD.
It is reported that BYD announced in November 2024 that it will invest 100 billion yuan to focus on developing intelligent technology to achieve a comprehensive intelligent upgrade of its vehicles. This investment is not only aimed at enhancing the intelligence level of vehicles but also aims to help BYD gain a more favorable position in future technological competition.
BYD's Advanced Technology Research and Development Center was established at the end of September 2024 and is a primary department of BYD's new technology research institute. It specifically provides support in computing power, algorithms, and large models for departments within the group, such as intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit, and dual-mode technology, essentially serving as BYD's "technology middle platform."
According to insiders, the Advanced Technology Research and Development Center will involve various popular large models in the industry, including foundational models, multimodal large models, language large models, and visual large models. Some of these models will be independently developed by BYD, while others will be co-developed with different departments to achieve faster technological implementation.
