On March 2, Li Auto, in partnership with the National Innovation Decision-Making Intelligent Technology Research Institute, announced the 'Principle of Software-Hardware Co-Design' for on-device large models. This principle introduces a cohesive software-hardware design approach specifically designed for large models in automotive and edge computing environments, laying a theoretical groundwork for shaping the architecture of next-generation intelligent driving chips. This accomplishment signifies not just a theoretical leap forward but also a pivotal moment in Li Auto's journey towards developing a fully in-house assisted driving system, highlighting a crucial advancement in the seamless integration of algorithms and hardware.

Leveraging this research, Li Auto is propelling the development of its next-generation, in-house intelligent driving chip. The chip will be meticulously crafted to meet algorithmic demands, inherently supporting sparse computation, dynamic resource allocation, and mixed-precision inference. Its goal is to forge an 'algorithm-centric chip' for automotive Vision-Language-Action (VLA) systems, delivering superior energy efficiency and enhanced intelligent capabilities.
