The integration enhances Yuanshen AI's hierarchical large-model system, improving its intent comprehension, reasoning capabilities, and proactive service functions. The system now supports multiple vehicle models and aims to provide leading AI solutions for automotive applications.  

With a decade of experience in intelligent cockpit development, Banma has deployed its technology in over 8 million vehicles and collaborates with more than 400 ecosystem partners so far. The synergy between Banma and DeepSeek strengthens their complementary capabilities in intelligent cockpit scenarios.  

Following the integration, Yuanshen AI can engage in deeper, more logical conversations with users and accurately interpret vague user intents through advanced reasoning. Additionally, it proactively analyzes in-car and external contexts to offer personalized services, such as vehicle control, contextual dialogues, and entertainment or dining recommendations.  

Banma's CTO, Si Luo, stated that the Yuanshen AI architecture combines large and small models through an arbitration mechanism, balancing deep intent understanding with the real-time performance demands of cockpit interactions. This architecture facilitates seamless integration with DeepSeek, reducing response latency and enhancing user value in the smart cockpit domain.
