JAKARTA, Indonesia, July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As the AI era continues to accelerate, the cockpit — the most frequently used and highly perceived human-vehicle interaction interface — has become a critical factor in shaping brand differentiation and localized experiences in the global automotive competition. On July 27, 2026, OMODA &amp; JAECOO officially unveiled its next-generation Super AI Cockpit in Southeast Asia at the “SUPER AI NIGHT” event in Indonesia. <img alt="OMODA Super AI Night" data-mce-style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" height="400" src="https://ml.globenewswire.com/Resource/Download/cf4c979a-420f-4ce7-b94e-b784f0fde2e4/omoda-super-ai-night.jpg" style="display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;" width="600" data-dpi="300" data-caption="Image 1" data-filename="OMODA Super AI Night.jpg" /> Equipped with ByteDance’s Seed LLM, the cockpit becomes the first intelligent cockpit system in Southeast Asia powered by this advanced large language model. Powered by three-industry-leading technologies – shaping the future of AI cockpit worldwide, OMODA Super AI Cockpit achieves three breakthrough milestones: First in ASEAN to launch ByteDance’s Seed LLM in a vehicle, First automaker to bring AI agents to every driving scenario, and First AI cockpit with an advanced Master-agent architecture. Through deep localization across five major languages and the collaborative operation of 10 intelligent agents, it represents Southeast Asia’s first intelligent cockpit solution with large-scale deployment and comprehensive native AI capabilities. It enables vehicles to evolve from tools that simply “follow commands” into intelligent companions that can truly “understand user needs.” The debut model equipped with this technology, OMODA 4, also made its impressive appearance at the event. <img alt="Jian Qiu, Chief Scientist of Intelligent Cockpit Center, Chery Automobile R&amp;D Institute" data-mce-style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" height="400" src="https://ml.globenewswire.com/Resource/Download/84fac60c-aa2a-432d-b03e-87a346666753/jian-qiu-chief-scientist-of-intelligent-cockpit-center-chery-automobile-r-d-institute.jpg" style="display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;" width="600" data-dpi="300" data-caption="Image 2" data-filename="Jian Qiu, Chief Scientist of Intelligent Cockpit Center, Chery Automobile R&amp;D Institute.jpg" /> Redefining Human-Vehicle Interaction: Three Core Technology Foundations Enable a Generational Advantage A truly AI-native cockpit is not simply an accumulation of functions, but a fundamental upgrade at the architectural level. Addressing the challenges of traditional in-vehicle voice systems — including mechanical interaction, one-way command execution, and limited contextual understanding — OMODA has developed a fully integrated and independently controlled technology foundation, with the cockpit powered by three core technology systems working together. Among them, the ByteDance Seed large language model delivers advanced natural language processing capabilities, accurately supporting complex multi-round conversations, ambiguous intent recognition, and multimodal content generation such as AI wallpapers. The cloud-edge collaborative architecture combines powerful cloud computing capabilities with low-latency edge-side responses. Even in offline or weak network environments, the edge-side engine ensures stable operation of key functions including vehicle control, navigation, and offline audio and video entertainment, effectively addressing the industry challenge where intelligent systems become unavailable once network connectivity is lost. Meanwhile, Agentic AI technology drives the collaboration of 10 intelligent agents, enabling the cockpit to evolve from passive responses to an AI super assistant capable of proactively anticipating user needs. From “Easy to Use” to “Understanding You”: Three-Stage OTA Evolution Enables Long-Term Lifecycle Growth A truly useful AI system must continue to evolve. Through a three-stage OTA evolution roadmap, OMODA enables its Super AI Cockpit to become increasingly personalized, adaptive, and dynamic over time. In the currently deployed AI 1.0 stage, 10 intelligent agents are fully integrated into the cockpit. The Orchestrator agent supports complex intent decomposition, while the Vehicle Control Agent supports up to 7 vehicle control commands within a single user utterance. Covering navigation assistance, vehicle usage guidance, conversational companionship, real-time information services, and personalized wallpapers and user name customization, AI 1.0 delivers a full-scenario experience where users can control functions effortlessly through voice interaction. The AI 2.0 stage, planned for launch in 2027, will focus on four key dimensions: Better Intent Understanding, Better Understanding of User Habits, Better Understanding of Emotions, and Better Understanding of Trends, further upgrading the cockpit from “more convenient” to “truly understanding you.” At this stage, the cockpit will be capable of simultaneously handling more than eight complex intents, allowing users to complete route planning and multi-stop navigation through a single sentence. Powered by a scenario-aware intelligent engine, the system can automatically activate dedicated modes like rainy weather mode based on real conditions. By integrating ANC noise reduction, AI Voiceprint Cloning, AI Pet Replication, and dynamic wallpapers, the cockpit will create a more emotional and personalized cabin environment. It will also deeply integrate the O4 in-vehicle gaming ecosystem (equipped with a game controller) and AI smart sound tuning capability, delivering engaging lifestyle experiences for younger drivers. In the ultimate AI 3.0 stage, the intelligent cockpit will integrate the AI Box high-performance computing chip platform and deploy an on-device multimodal large language model, forming a dual-engine architecture that delivers millisecond-level edge response alongside in-depth cloud reasoning. This will truly bring an AI brain into the vehicle, creating an intelligent assistant that accompanies users anytime and anywhere. <img alt="Shawn Xu, CEO of OMODA &amp; JAECOO International" data-mce-style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" height="400" src="https://ml.globenewswire.com/Resource/Download/7b4256a8-b691-4022-b73d-61e7865e1e79/shawn-xu-ceo-of-omoda-jaecoo-international.jpg" style="display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;" width="600" data-dpi="300" data-caption="Image 3" data-filename="Shawn Xu, CEO of OMODA &amp; JAECOO International.jpg" /> Partnering with Tech Leaders to Secure Global Leadership in the Next Phase of AI Mobility As a pioneer in the global young drivers segment, OMODA is leveraging its self-developed full-stack underlying architecture to establish a deep strategic collaboration with BytePlus, the enterprise technology service brand under ByteDance.
