Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer NIO has unveiled NOMI GPT, its latest artificial intelligence-powered digital in-car system, marking a leap forward in automotive technology. Announced on April 12, 2024, NOMI GPT is exclusively installed on vehicles equipped with NIO´s Banyan Intelligent System, reflecting the company´s commitment to pushing the boundaries of in-car digital experiences.
The core of NOMI GPT is a multimodal artificial intelligence model designed to make NOMI, NIO´s proprietary car assistant, smarter and more responsive. This system is capable of handling a wide spectrum of user interactions with impressive versatility. NOMI can answer diverse encyclopedic queries covering science, history, and entertainment, demonstrating deep general knowledge. More than just a voice assistant, the system orchestrates artificial intelligence-driven car scenarios, can adjust ambient lighting, and animates expressive responses tailored to user inputs, creating a highly personalized car environment.
What sets NOMI GPT apart is its sophisticated multi-modal perception technology, which fuses visual, acoustic, and vehicular sensor data for a holistic awareness of both the inside and outside of the vehicle. This enables NOMI’s responses to be delivered in remarkably natural, human-like language, increasing driver and passenger engagement. The system enhances user interaction by recognizing nuanced details, combining complex task management with advanced cognitive skills. An integrated emotion engine further elevates NOMI’s communication, enabling fast, thoughtful, and empathetic responses that mimic human decision making. NIO plans to roll out NOMI GPT to its vehicles later in the year, promising a pioneering level of in-car artificial intelligence experience for drivers and passengers.
