According to 1M AI News monitoring, Mercedes-Benz China announced that an edge-side multimodal large language model jointly developed with Tsinghua University and Zhipu, an AI large model company that listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in January this year, will be deployed in the new 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 sensing hardware, it completes inference under local computing power conditions. According to Zhipu's official statement, Mercedes-Benz has thus become the first automotive brand to apply a multimodal large language model in a rear-seat entertainment system.
