Integrating Advanced AI Models with High-Performance Computing Powered by Snapdragon Cockpit Elite Platform, LG Sets New Standards for the AI-Defined Vehicle Era
SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics (LG), a global leader in mobility technologies, is set to unveil its new AI Cabin Platform at CES 2026 in Las Vegas (January 6-9). Designed to run on automotive high-performance computing (HPC) systems, this innovative in-vehicle solution leverages generative artificial intelligence (AI) and is powered by Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.'s Snapdragon® Cockpit™ Elite.
LG will showcase the AI Cabin Platform for the first time at its private showcase during the upcoming CES, where guests can experience a digital cockpit featuring the AI Cabin Platform and preview the AI-defined vehicle (AIDV) – a new mobility paradigm beyond the software-defined vehicle (SDV).
The AI Cabin Platform applies generative AI models – such as vision language models (VLMs), large language models (LLMs) and image generation models – to LG's in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) system, opening the door to a new era of intelligent, context-aware driving experiences.
Leveraging the high-performance compute capabilities provided by Snapdragon Cockpit Elite, all AI calculations are processed on-device and within the vehicle, eliminating the need to communicate with external servers. This enables real-time, more stable operation while enhancing privacy and data security by removing cloud-related vulnerabilities.
The AI Cabin Platform analyzes the driving environment and the driver's condition using data from internal and external vehicle cameras, enabling real-time personalized assistance. For example, if a nearby vehicle begins merging and the system detects that the driver has not yet noticed it, the platform can proactively issue a tailored alert: "A car is merging ahead. Please keep your eyes on the road and drive safely."
Additionally, the platform supports generation of customized infotainment user interfaces that adapt to external conditions. If the driver is listening to music on a snowy evening, the system can generate a matching background for the music playback screen – such as snow falling between streetlights or a festively-decorated village – and offer context-aware suggestions like: "It's a beautiful snowy night. Shall I recommend some winter-themed songs?"
Earlier this year at CES 2025, LG and Qualcomm Technologies highlighted their ongoing collaboration by unveiling the HPC platform – a high-performance computing solution that integrates IVI and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) into a single control unit. Based on Qualcomm Technologies' Snapdragon Ride™ Flex System-on-Chip (SoC), the platform consolidates various vehicle functions into one controller, earning praise for achieving both cost efficiency and superior performance.
"Based on our proven technology and global trust, we will continue expanding partnerships with innovators like Qualcomm Technologies to drive future mobility beyond the SDV to the AIDV," said Eun Seok-hyun, president of the LG Vehicle Solution Company. "With the AI Cabin Platform, we are creating mobility that not only understands drivers, but responds proactively to their needs and preferences, making every journey uniquely personal."

LG TO SHOWCASE NEXT-GENERATION MOBILITY TECHNOLOGY POWERED BY GENERATIVE AI AT CES 2026

Empowering the world's largest computer vision ecosystem with a unified, one-click NPU hardware standard for building the next generation of real-world AI applications.
SEOUL, South Korea, May 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DEEPX, a leading fabless AI semiconductor company specializing in ultra-low-power Neural Processing Units (NPUs), today announced a visionary partnership with Ultralytics, the company behind Ultralytics YOLO, the most widely deployed computer vision architecture in the world, with over 130K GitHub stars.
Ultralytics has evolved far beyond a traditional AI model creator to become the definitive developer platform connecting the global vision AI ecosystem. Ultralytics YOLO (You Only Look Once) models and Ultralytics Platform have firmly established themselves as the de facto standard across diverse physical applications—from industrial cameras and robotics to autonomous driving and smart city infrastructure. With over 16.6 million monthly downloads and a single environment to build computer vision projects, they serve as the ultimate gateway for global AI deployment, acting as the core development environment for countless global enterprises and engineers building real-world AI products and services.
This partnership is not merely a technical integration; it is a strategic move to establish a unified global standard for Physical AI. By embedding DEEPX's NPU hardware and software toolchain directly into the heart of the Ultralytics ecosystem, the two companies are providing millions of global developers with the definitive platform to bring AI out of the cloud and into the physical world.
Physical AI demands high-performance, ultra-energy-efficient computing that can operate autonomously in robots, industrial machinery, and smart vehicles. The Ultralytics YOLO community represents the front line of this revolution, building the "eyes" of these real-world systems. Through this partnership, DEEPX positions its mass-produced DX-M1 NPU as the foundational "brain" for these applications, removing all barriers to entry for edge deployment.
"This alliance is about setting the de facto standard for Physical AI," said Lokwon Kim, CEO of DEEPX. "The YOLO community is home to the most innovative computer vision developers on the planet. By making DEEPX a native, frictionless export target within the Ultralytics ecosystem, we are not just offering hardware—we are defining the new global blueprint for how real-world intelligent systems are built and scaled."
Setting the Standard for Physical AI: Partnership Highlights
- Establishing the 'format=deepx' Standard: DEEPX is now deeply woven into the fabric of the Ultralytics Python package (With over 16.6 million monthly downloads). Developers can now deploy the industry's most advanced computer vision models to DEEPX hardware simply by using format=deepx, standardizing the edge deployment process.
- Unifying the Vision AI Ecosystem: Ultralytics now features an automated, production-ready pipeline tailored for DEEPX's SDK. This includes zero-friction model quantization and validation, bridging the gap between software development and hardware execution.
- A Future-Proof AI Foundation: To ensure DEEPX remains the industry benchmark, a dedicated CI/CD pipeline guarantees continuous, out-of-the-box compatibility with every new Ultralytics update and AI model evolution.
- Accelerating Global Adoption: The partnership will drive joint initiatives—including technical webinars, co-branded campaigns, and open-source community building—to educate and empower the global Ultralytics YOLO developer base to build the future of Physical AI on DEEPX architecture.
"Ultralytics is committed to democratizing AI by building state-of-the-art vision AI models that run flawlessly on the most efficient edge architectures," said Glenn Jocher, CEO of Ultralytics. "Partnering with DEEPX allows our massive developer community to seamlessly translate our Ultralytics YOLO models into powerful, low-power Physical AI solutions. Together, we are shaping how vision AI interacts with the physical world."
