Mercedes-Benz Integrates Domestic AI into Maybach: Zhipu and Tsinghua Create On-Device Multimodal Large Model for S-Class
According to 1M AI News monitoring, Mercedes-Benz China announced that an edge-side multimodal large model jointly developed with Tsinghua University and Zhipu, an AI large model company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in January this year, will be deployed in the next-generation Maybach S-Class and the new S-Class sedan. The model is deployed in the rear-seat entertainment system, integrating natural language processing with multimodal understanding and generation capabilities in vision, audio, and other modalities. Combined with in-vehicle cameras and other perceptual hardware, it completes inference under local computing power conditions. According to Zhipu's official statement, Mercedes-Benz has become the first automotive brand to apply multimodal large models in rear-seat entertainment systems.
