Taking "Thousand-Mile Speed" as the first step in the AI strategic transformation "Chongqing Qianli Technology" is a new brand. Since injecting the AI gene and completing the renaming at the end of last year, Chongqing Qianli Technology has embarked on the "AI+" strategic transformation in a new form. The name Chongqing Qianli Technology carries three meanings: it echoes the company's origin in Chongqing; it demonstrates the determination to invest in the long-term AI racetrack; and it implies that no matter how grand the ideal is, every step will be taken solidly. Based on Chongqing's strong manufacturing base and industrial chain advantages, combined with its own long-term accumulation in AI technology and talent, and leveraging the deep accumulation in the automotive industry by strategic partner Geely, Chongqing Qianli Technology has completed comprehensive business layout in the fields of intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit, and intelligent travel within less than a year. In the field of intelligent driving, the intelligent driving system is entering a development stage driven by AI's large models. Chongqing Qianli Technology is redefining the industry benchmark for intelligent driving assistance based on advanced AI technology. The real-world challenge presented at this event, "Thousand-Mile Drive in 8D," selected famous locations in Chongqing known for their sharp turns and steep slopes like Geleshan, the country's most complex Panlong Interchange Bridge, the densely populated Jiefangbei area, and an extremely challenging underground parking lot for testing. Faced with demanding road conditions, the Thousand-Mile Intelligent Driving Assistance System demonstrated a more secure, smoother, and more AI-driven intelligent driving experience, successfully overcoming the challenge. In the field of intelligent cockpit, the combination of large models and cockpits has broad future applications that will not only greatly enhance user experience but also provide customer value no less than intelligent driving. Chongqing Qianli Technology has brought together industry-leading teams in intelligent cockpit research and development, focusing on the industry-leading multimodal large models and AI technology to reconstruct the human-vehicle interaction experience. The new generation intelligent cockpit Agent OS developed by Chongqing Qianli Technology achieves super-natural interaction, integrated memory, comprehensive mapping, and third living space functions, aiming to make the cockpit smarter, more seamless, and more versatile, elevating the human-vehicle interaction experience to a new level. In the field of intelligent travel, with technological iterations, cost reduction, and policy openness, it is expected that Robotaxi will enter a rapid popularization period within the next three years. Currently, Chongqing Qianli Technology has formulated corresponding plans with the goal of completing a full-chain layout for Robotaxi within the next 18 months. Firstly, by driving industry integration, the company is building a complete industrial system from technology and products to services. Currently, Chongqing Qianli Technology is accelerating the development of the L4 intelligent driving solution, collaborating with Geely to develop dedicated Robotaxi models, and working with leading domestic and international travel service providers to jointly create a Robotaxi operation service platform. According to the plan, Chongqing Qianli Technology will partner with its collaborators to deploy scaled Robotaxi operating services in 10 cities worldwide, deploying over 1000 Robotaxi vehicles in a single city, surpassing the commercialization threshold and securing a place in the industry. "Containing modulus" leads the industry, Thousand-Mile Smart Drive passes the Chongqing "8D" test "Choosing Chongqing for the test drive, it's really amazing!" At the event, renowned director and actor Xu Zheng expressed this sentiment when sharing his experience of the real-life test drive of "Thousand-Mile Drive in 8D". This statement highlights the unique value of Chongqing as a natural test field for smart driving. As the city with the highest proportion of bridges and tunnels and the most complex road hierarchy in the country, Chongqing's multi-dimensional transportation network is not only a geographical feature but also the "ultimate verification platform" for testing intelligent assistance driving technologies. In the real-world challenge of "Man and Machine Driving Together" against "Top Race Car Drivers," Xu Zheng and the Thousand-Mile Intelligent Driving Assistance System cooperated seamlessly and ultimately won the challenge. From smoothly navigating the slippery turns of Geleshan to confidently handling narrow roads, encountering "ghostheads", and parking in tight spots with precision, from the intricately structured Panlong Interchange to the maze-like underground ring road at Jiefangbei, the Thousand-Mile Smart Drive showed stable performance throughout, successfully overcoming multiple driving challenges in urban areas, demonstrating high system safety and adaptability. With the core goal of "safer, smoother, more AI-driven," Thousand-Mile Smart Drive has built a comprehensive safety protection system utilizing technologies such as 6D multi-sensory perception, full-spectrum automatic defense driving, and all-domain AES intelligent obstacle avoidance. It combines biomimetic control in complex road conditions, long and short sequence spatiotemporal optimization, and a full-scene "door-to-door" lazy mode, providing users with an unprecedented smooth driving experience. By utilizing an end-to-end model architecture, multimodal large models, and reinforcement learning paradigms, it has achieved highly intelligent driving decision-making. Thousand-Mile Smart Drive adopts a one-stage end-to-end model, continuously reducing reliance on "white boxes" and significantly enhances the "modulus" of the intelligent assistance driving system. Currently, Thousand-Mile has built a strong foundation of large models, focusing on reinforcement learning as the core, lowering the strong dependency on imitation learning data distribution through a reward-penalty mechanism, efficiently solving specific driving problems with fewer scenario data. This technological route has struck a good balance between performance and cost, showing sustainable prospects for implementation. Launching a new brand and the "Thousand-Mile Plan," depicting the future development blueprint At the event, Chongqing Qianli Technology's new English brand name, "AFARI," and brand identity were officially unveiled. "AFARI" carries multiple layers of symbolism: combining "Afar" (distance) and "I" (intelligence), it symbolizes a broad vision of "a thousand miles away" and the technological pursuit of "a thousand miles intelligence." The word embeds AI at both ends, with FAR in the middle, which can be interpreted as "With AI, we go far" - meaning to go far hand in hand with AI. Furthermore, when the phrase A far I is read separately, it can be understood as "meeting the future self," implying meeting a "future" self, continually breaking through and achieving a better self. The graphic logo of AFARI abstracts the triangular elements of the letter "A." The three symbols are superposed following the golden ratio: the upper layer symbolizes strategic leadership and vision guidance, while the lower layer represents organizational unity and execution, conveying the spirit of unity and solidarity. Additionally, the brand color "Thousand-Mile Red" uses a highly saturated special red to inject warmth and vitality into AI technology, symbolizing the positive changes AI brings to everyone's lives. The new name and the new logo not only mark the brand's new beginning but also carry Chongqing Qianli Technology's expectations and imagination for the future. At the event, Yin Qi further elaborated on "the Afari Plan," outlining an envisioned future with AI and humans living harmoniously. The plan's core vision is "One Brain, One OS, One Agent": to construct an AI-driven big brain (One Brain), establish a unified operating system (One OS) that integrates memory, behavior, and control across different devices for each individual, and ultimately achieve seamless cross-device, cross-scenario services through a highly understanding super-intelligent assistant (One Agent). In this grand vision, various scenes like homes, travel, retail, and factories will be integrated with intelligent terminals to provide comfortable, convenient, and efficient services for humans. Behind all experiences is the system supported by "One Brain, One OS, One Agent." This is Chongqing Qianli Technology's understanding of the intelligent future and its firm direction for progress. The thousand-mile journey begins with the first step, and Chongqing Qianli Technology hopes to step by step turn its grand blueprint into reality. As the "surprise" segment of the event, 5,000 drones soared into the sky at the last moment, using the night sky as a canvas and the scenery of the two rivers and in between to paint vivid scenes of the "AI+ future." Here, AI transforms into a powerful, wise cybernetic partner, a comfortable and safe mobile vehicle, an efficient and convenient home assistant, and an infinite-capacity intelligent model brain. It makes the abstract AI propositions tangible, touching, and straight to the heart in the intelligent sky of Chongqing's night sky.
