The China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) on Sunday issued the country's first standard on automotive large-scale model, with an aim to facilitate intelligent development of the auto industry.
The standard mainly covers three aspects, namely, scene richness, capability support, and application maturity.
Scene richness puts emphasis on evaluating the level of support provided by large-scale models for such scenarios as intelligent cockpit and autonomous driving.
Capability support focuses on the performance of large-scale models in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies involving perception, understanding, reasoning, and generation.
Application maturity centers on evaluating the application of large-scale models in auto ecosystem and the models' adaptation in diversified scenarios.
"To align with the prevailing trend of auto industry's development towards AI Plus and meet the industry demands in this regard, we have developed this standard, which focuses on the research and development, production management, and manufacturing management of large-scale models within the automotive sector. It also involves the application of large-scale models onto vehicles to make them smarter," said Wei Kai, deputy head of the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute under the academy.
According to Wei, large-scale models will speed up the promotion of intelligence in automotive scene interaction and services.
"It's likely that we will further refine the standard to encompass more details regarding research and development, production management, and intelligent cockpit. By establishing more detailed technical requirements, we aim to standardize and promote the intelligent development and connectivity within the entire auto industry," said Wei.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held talks with Cho Tae-yul, foreign minister of the Republic of Korea (ROK), in Beijing on Monday.
Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said that China and the ROK are close neighbors and should maintain regular exchanges.
Recently, China-ROK relations have been facing difficulties and challenges, which is not in the common interests of both sides, nor is it what China wants to see, Wang said, adding that it is hoped that the ROK side will work with China to stick to the original intention of establishing diplomatic ties, adhere to the direction of good neighborliness and friendship, stick to the goal of mutually beneficial cooperation, remove disturbances, and make joint efforts to push for the sound and steady development of China-ROK relations. He pointed out that China and the ROK should understand and respect each other, strengthen communication and exchanges, eliminate misunderstandings and enhance mutual trust.
Wang added that China hopes the ROK side abides by the one-China principle, properly and prudently handles Taiwan-related issues, and consolidates the political foundation of bilateral relations. The two sides should send more objective and positive messages, increase positive guidance, and strengthen people-to-people exchanges to consolidate public support for bilateral relations.
China is speeding up the development of new quality productive forces, promoting high-quality development and expanding high-level opening up, which will bring important opportunities to the ROK, Wang said, adding that the two sides should deepen mutually beneficial cooperation, be reliable and long-term partners in each other's development process, jointly oppose trade protectionism, safeguard the international free trade system, and ensure stable and unimpeded production and supply chains.
Cho said that it is hoped that this visit will become an important step forward in ROK-China relations. The ROK government attaches great importance to its relations with China, and looks forward to working closely with China to develop a healthier and more mature strategic cooperative partnership on the basis of mutual respect, reciprocity and common interests.
He added that it is in the common interests of the two countries and peoples and the expectation of the international community to promote the development of ROK-China relations and jointly meet common challenges. The ROK is willing to enhance mutual trust, expand consensus and focus on cooperation with China, thus avoiding geopolitical constraints as much as possible and jointly opening up a new situation of bilateral cooperation.
The two sides also exchanged views on China-Japan-ROK cooperation, the situation on the Korean Peninsula and other issues of common concern.
At the invitation of Wang, Cho is visiting China from May 13 to 14.
