FF's All-AI Technology Architecture to push the boundaries of AIEV

Since its founding, FF has recognized that intelligent electric vehicles are not merely tools for transportation but dynamic, evolving "mobile robots." FF has always believed that its foundation is in AI technologies.

AI is at the core of the FF aiHyper 6x4 Architecture 2.0. By leveraging specialized large AI models in the mobility sector, FF AI aims to achieve complete AI integration through cross-domain computing, algorithms, and data, along with end-to-end full-chain integration. This enables a fully integrated AI-driven technology structure, where the four major AI engines empower the four technology systems and six technology platforms.

Magic All-In-One AI Engine is powered by a multi-modal large model driven by visual language models (VLMs), aiming at integrating road pre-scanning, cloud data, and vehicle sensors to deliver the ultimate driving experience.

Hyper Multi-Vectoring AI engine could leverage large AI models to enable AI-driven control of steering, braking, and power delivery, aiming to unleash the vehicle's Hyper performance through AI technology.

The 3rd aiSpace AI Engine leverages proprietary large-scale models specifically designed for mobility, delivering comprehensive intelligent services by seamlessly integrating end-to-end computation, algorithms, and cross-domain data.

FF aiDriving AI Engine utilizes a large VLM to achieve deep integration of vision, language, speech, and historical data to make every journey safe, intelligent, and enjoyable.

By integrating data from the mobility ecosystem and incorporating third-party general-purpose large models alongside proprietary large-scale models tailored for mobility, the FF AI platform aims to push the boundaries of AIEV technologies and pave the way for an open, collaborative, and mutually beneficial future mobility ecosystem.

The FX strategy presents an excellent opportunity for the application and evolution of the Company's AI strategy. FF's AI capabilities are planned to empower the FX brand through iterative innovation, enabling AI to consistently redefine the mobility experience.

Comprehensive AI Strategy Could Deliver Multi-Dimensional Value for Users, Partners and Industry

FF's AI strategy includes introducing new revenue streams, such as in-vehicle subscriptions and AI-driven value-added services. These innovations could also enhance user loyalty and recognition.

For users, FF and FX products could act as "intelligent partners," with product design centered on natural interaction methods, including voice and gesture controls. These features would deliver intuitive, seamless interactions that continuously improve through learning, offering personalized AI experiences.

Through its "AI-First" approach and co-creation ecosystem, FF is driving the evolution of cars from traditional vehicles to intelligent mobile devices, setting new benchmarks for future smart vehicles. By fostering collaboration with global developers and AI experts, FF aims to propel industry-wide innovation, benefiting the sector and its partners.
