According to the agreement, the two companies will deepen their collaboration in areas such as AI platforms and quantum computing technology. 

In terms of AI platforms, BMW Brilliance chose to partner with Baidu to provide core technological support for BMW's "BEACON" AI platform, particularly in natural language processing and data analysis capabilities. In the field of quantum computing, the two companies will jointly explore the possibilities of quantum computing applications in production and manufacturing scenarios, enhancing application efficiency. In the future, this partnership may provide robust computing power for scenarios such as finance, insurance, and exchange rate calculations.

BMW and Baidu have already collaborated in multiple areas, establishing a strong partnership and successfully advancing several solutions. For instance, Baidu's NLP capabilities have provided technical support to various BMW business domains.
