大家好，我是李想，2025年的第三季度也是理想汽车面向第二个十年的第一个季度，我们经历了产品周期公关舆情供应链爬展政策变化等问题带来的各种挑战，这些因素对我们的交付和经营也产生了影响。但是今天更想和大家聊一聊我们长期的思考理想汽车面向第二个十年三个最重要的关键选择应该怎么做，分别是组织产品技术。

第一个关键选择是组织，我们所面临的选择是创业公司的管理模式还是职业经理人的管理模式。理想汽车在过去的十年里，最初的七年是创业公司的管理模式，随着规模的扩大，大到了我之前创业所没有经历过的营收规模，在2022年前后，很多人都会建议我们走向职业经理人的管理模式。

因为在历史上，奔驰宝马这样的百年汽车企业以及微软苹果这样的科技巨头都在这一模式下取得了非常大的成功。过去三年，我们非常努力的让自己变成职业经理人的治理体系，在真实的体验和落地后，我们认识到创业公司和职业经理人是两种完全不同的治理体系。

它与流程组织结构无关，而是管理理念和要素的差异以及各自适用于不同阶段和行业环境。职业经理人的管理方式可以非常成功，但是需要三个要素，第一，行业和技术周期相对稳定，第二，企业的行业地位领先且稳固，第三，创始人和创业团队要么没有动力干了，要么已经不在了。

如果满足这些条件，职业经理人的管理模式是非常好的选择。苹果和微软也都在职业经理人接班后，从千亿美金成长为万亿美金的企业。而创业公司的条件恰恰相反，第一，行业和技术周期在发生巨大的变化，第二，行业格局不确定，企业还不是领先者，第三创始人和创业团队每天还在投入的努力工作充满动力。

在人工智能重塑各个行业的今天，我们所处的环境我们自身的特点更符合创业公司的条件。创业公司的管理的核心是四件事，第一，更多的对话深度的对话，而非更多的汇报在高度变化中，深度的对话是提升认知和大胆决策的关键要素。

第二，聚焦用户价值，而非只是交付，对用户真正有价值的东西才值得交付，而不仅仅是完成各种交付的任务。第三，持续提升效率，而非占有更多的资源，去年花十块钱做的事情，今年就要花八块钱去做，从而才有更多的资源去做短期不创造收入的长期投资和能力建设。

第四，要识别关键问题，而不是创造信息不对称，只有价值增加了，效率提升了，关键问题解决了，才可以在高度竞争高度变化的环境中持续满足用户的需求。过去三年，我和创业团队努力学习职业经理人的管理体系，逼迫自己接受各种变化，但是我们却变得变成了越来越差的自己。

而英伟达和特斯拉今天仍以创业公司的方式管理，如果全世界最强的那些公司都可以使用创业公司的管理方式，我们有什么理由放弃自己最擅长的方式。从1998年开始，我有27年的创业公司的管理经验，而且从来没有在任何大企业中以职业经理人的方式工作过。

当下面对的又是一个行业高度竞争技术高度变化的大环境，我自己热爱汽车，热爱产品，热爱人工智能，工作就是自己最大的爱好，为什么不用自己最擅长的能力和方式来管理理想汽车。这是理想汽车面向第二个十年第一重要的选择，因此从今年四季度开始，我们坚定的回到创业公司的管理模式，以此来面对新时代新技术的挑战。

组织的选择是一切的基础，进入新的十年，更关键的问题是我们真正要为用户解决什么问题产品是什么，技术往哪里走，这是永恒不变的本质。首先关于产品，我们同样要做一个选择面向未来十年，我们的产品到底是什么，是电动车是智能终端还是巨神机器人。

当产品停留在电动车竞争的逻辑就会变成参数大战，续航多二十公里还是少二十公里，车长多两厘米还是少两厘米。如果只是电动车的竞争，就是更大的空间，更多的续航更便宜的价格，顺便copy 一下已经被验证成功的那些设计，比如理想L9所有除此之外的研发投入都是研发成本的浪费。

更强的传感器，更强的模型，更强的算力，更强的主动悬架都是整车成本的浪费，甚至强甚至性能强大的算力和主动悬架等产生的能耗还会给续航带来负面效应。如果我们选择做智能终端，就会更加关注屏幕里的那些事，本能的变成智能手机功能的重复建设。

过去几年，行业在智能终端上大部分创新，本质上是把智能手机的功能搬到车上，把手机的APP 放到车机里，把车在车里上更大的语言模型，甚至希望能够在车里做coding，在车里做deep research。用户买车到底是为了工作还是为了更好的生活，明明在手机和电脑上有更好的体验，更自然的应用，为什么非要放在车上。

这些投入对于用户的价值提升非常有限，甚至是企业的自娱自乐。我们还可以让车变成物理世界的具身智能产品，说白了就是机器人变形金刚的动画片和电影明确的告诉我们，机器人最大的分类就是两种形式，一种像人一样，一种像车一样，其旅游侠和赛车总动员也清晰的告诉我们汽车是机器人的核心形态之一。

如何把车变成机器人，给他眼睛和耳朵的感知能力，给他大脑和神经的模型能力，给他心脏等器官一样的计算能力，改造硬件，形成更强的本体能力，让汽车机器人具备顶级司机的能力，不仅可以开车，还可以每天迎接你，帮你停车帮你充电，给你开关车门，无微不至的为你提供便捷体验和关怀。

它还可以扮演父母助理乘务员的角色，在车内给你提供最便捷的生活服务和空间照顾，就像飞机的同等舱服务，就像小时候妈一直在我们身边的照顾和关怀。如何定义一个好的机身机器人，从被动的机器成长为自动的机器，再进化为主动的机器人未来十年，具身智能最有价值的产品，一定是具备自动和主动能力的汽车产品的竞争也是自动和主动能力达到什么程度。

而这些价值会融入高频的生活和体验中，有了就再也回不去了。电动车的选择不是不好，而是不够，智能终端的选择也不是不好而是不够，只有选择具身智能这个最难的题，我们才可以真正改变用户的生活，提供自动和主动服务的具身智能机器人产品，像它就是变形金刚的汽车形态机器人是赛车总动员地理游侠的汽车形态机器人新时代给予汽车企业和创业者们最好的给予和最高难度的挑战。

接下来是技术的选择，更具体的讲是完整AI 系统的技术选择是面向数字世界的语言智能还是物理世界的具身智能，这意味着要构建完全不同的系统能力。要做好具身智能，最重要的是构建一套不同于语言智能的AI 系统，它包含具身智能的感知，相当于眼睛和耳朵具身智能的模型相当于大脑具身智能的操作系统相当于神经具身，智能的算力相当于心脏具身智能的本体相当于人类的身体。

当下没有任何第三方供应商可以完整的提供这套系统，甚至没有任何一个是可以供应的语言。智能最大的特点是关注好模型和计算更大规模的模型，更大规模的计算就会带来更强的能力，而具身智能必须增加对物理世界的感知，模型也是必须基于对物理世界的理解，精准是首要任务，其次才是泛化。

操作系统需要确保软件的最优融合，提高更高的帧率等比系统要快和精准，对具身智能的感知模型操作系统等提供的算力也需要在端侧供应而不是云端。最后还要改造硬件，成为具身智能的本体，比如三维神经控制的线控和主动液压悬架系统，提高本体执行的效率和准确性。

如果以具身智能以及整个it 整个AI 系统，你发现可以改变以及机械需要改变的实在太多了。首先是感知，基于现有的感知模型和端测的算力，现在的三ddv OCC 占用网络，二dvip 有效的感知距离我讲的是有效而非理论上，最大只有一百多米，远远不如人类的眼睛。

如果升级成人眼，工作原理相似的三dvit 有效距离可以扩大两至三倍，今天我们辅助驾驶可能50%以上的常见问题自然就解决了。3Dvit 不仅限于自动驾驶的领域，在车外和车主的主动交互与服务，在车内与家人的主动交互和服务也就变成了可能。

这需要感知模型的研究和研发的重大突破还必须有M100这样的为矩身智能定制设计的芯片和强大的编译团队高效配合才可以实现。其次是模型有了3Dvit 才有了真正对物理世界的理解，vla 模型中的vl 才可以更好的对物理世界的感知和理解，人类的数据才可以更高效的被用于训练世界模型生成的数据才可以更好的去完善训练现有最好的计算平台。

一个4B的MOE 的模型运行帧率只有十赫兹，而执行系统是六十赫兹，如果模型运行的帧率可以快两至三倍，现在辅助驾驶的一些舒适性的问题反应迟钝的问题都可以有效的解决。这同样需要对传统的GPU 架构和算力进行深度的改造和定制以及专有的操作系统，M100芯片就是为解决巨身智能这些本质的问题而研发的。

最后是本体人类的刹车转向的最快响应速度在450毫秒左右，目前自动驾驶的感知到执行的完整电路在550毫秒左右，坐在驾驶员的位置上，本能的反应就是慢很多，像老年人在开车，电控体系可以把整个链路的响应速度提升到350毫秒。

别小看这两百毫秒的差距，这大概可以把事故率下降50%以上，而且让人感觉开的比自己还要好还要安全，既是理性的真安全，又是感性的安全感。基于这样的需求，整个控制的方式都会变得完全不同，如果只是关注语言智能那样的模型规模的提升，模型规模扩大一倍，算力提升带来的性能提升只有5%到10%。

如果从具身智能整体来看，每个环节全系统的去解决最关键的问题，那接下来一轮自动驾驶的性能提升应该有五到十倍，巨身智能为用户提供的自动和主动的快速交互和真实服务的能力更是有和无的质变。过去三年，我们对于巨身智能完整系统的技术储备，让我们下一代的产品充满信心，巨身智能机器人的元年，从汽车机器人正式开启编译收入只是起步。

以上三个关键的选择，决定了我们第二个十年发展的基础，它比上一个十年更难也更具挑战性。我们深知，未来的竞争不在一时一刻，而在方向的长期选择和持续投入的定力，依托坚实的财务基础，我们会保持专注，用我们最热爱的创业公司的管理模式，打造领先的聚身智能产品，确保理想汽车能够穿越周期引领技术成为一家长期为用户和社会创造价值的企业。

我也希望以后更多的以这样的方式与投资人们进行沟通和交流，而不是每个季度以固定格式的汇报。感谢我们的投资人，在我们最难的时候仍然支持和信任我们，我们一定尽最大的努力，在未来的三到五年内让一场汽车成为具身智能领域表现最好的企业用户价值最高的企业，谢谢。

Xiang Li (English Translation)

The third quarter of 2025 was also the first quarter in the second decade of the auto. We went through many challenges including supply chain, product life cycle, ER challenges as well as changing policies. All these factors have had a negative impact on our operations and deliveries.

However, today I want to take this opportunity to talk about our long term thinking. In the next decade and three most important choices that we need to make organization, products and technology.

The first choice we need to make is organization. The challenge we're facing is whether to choose a entrepreneurial model or a professional management model. In the last 10 years of the auto, the first seven of those years we operated as an entrepreneurial model. But as we scaled over time to a scale that we've never seen before and especially in terms of revenue, around the time of 2022, many people suggested to us to shift to a professional management model.

Because historically, whether it's a Mercedes or BMW or any of these 100 year old car enterprises as well as Microsoft and Apple, which is the tech giants have all operated under this model and have great success in the last three years. We've tried very hard to make ourselves used to this professional management model.

We but after implementation, we realized came to the realization that the the entrepreneurial model and the professional management model are fundamentally different and it is irrelevant to processes and organization structures. The difference really lies in management principles and key, key operating principles. And also they're tailored to different different stages of growth and industry environment.

The professional management model can be very successful but relies on three factors. The first one is that the industry and technology cycle has to be relatively stable. And the second is that the enterprise is already in a leading position and the position is relatively stable. And the third one is that the founding, the founder and the founding team are either lost their motivation or are not actively involved in the company.

If all these three criteria are satisfied, a professional management model could be a very ideal choice. Whether it's Apple or Microsoft have both flourished after professional management took over and grew from $100 billion in revenue to trillion dollar companies.

However, entrepreneur, the entrepreneurial model is catered to an entirely different environment. First of all, the industry and technology cycles are going through fundamental changes, and 2nd, the industry is very unstable, and the entrepreneur and the company enterprise itself is not yet a leader. And thirdly, the founder and the founding team are still devoted to everyday work with their full passion and fully motivated as AI is shaping many industries today.

The environment that we live in and considering the trace of this company, we think that we fit into the entrepreneurial model way better. The entrepreneurial model really is about four things. First of all, there needs to be more conversations as opposed to reports. In a rapidly changing environment. Deep conversations is really key to increasing our knowledge and judgment of the world as well as making bold decisions.

And secondly, if focusing on user value as opposed to just short term deliveries, only those things that create value for the users are worthy to be delivered as opposed to only focusing on how many tasks that we've delivered on. And third one is keep increasing efficiency as opposed to occupying more resources. For example, if we spend $10 on doing something last year and this year we need to do it in with $8, that's how we have have resources to really spend on projects and investments that do not generate short term revenue but really benefit us in the long term.

4th The key is to recognizing the key issues as opposed to just creating information asymmetry and only as we create more value and. And increase efficiency and solve the key issues and we really thrive in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment and consistently meet customer demands.

In the last three years, me and my team have tried very hard to adapt to the professional managing model and we have forced ourselves to embrace all kinds of changes. However, we all realized that we became a diminished versions of ourselves. NVIDIA and Tesla are still operating as an entrepreneurial company and if the largest and strongest companies are all operating in the entrepreneurial model, there's no reason for us not to utilize our strength and what we're most used to.

Since 1998, I have 27 years of running entrepreneurial companies and I have never worked in any large corporation as a professional manager. Now we're facing a highly competitive and rapidly changed an environment with rapidly changing technologies. I personally am passionate about products, about automobiles and about AI Work is my largest passion. So why don't I focus on what I'm most used to and when I'm best at to manage the auto And that's how that's the most important first choice as we look into our second decade.

As a result, starting from Q4 this year, I and our my founding team will firmly revert back to the entrepreneurial model and to embrace the new era and new technological changes and challenges. The choice of organizational model is the foundation of everything. Looking into the next decade, the next key question is how we really solve issues for our customers. First of all, what products do we build? Where is technology headed? That's always the essence of everything.

First of all, on products, we need also need to make an important choice. What kind of products do we really build for our users? Is it electric vehicles? Is it smart devices or is it the body robot? If we only focus on electric vehicles, competition is really all about an arms race inspection. Do you have more 20 kilometers of range? More. Do you have a car that's 2cm longer in dimensions?

And if it's only focused on electric vehicles, it's all about the larger space, more range and cheaper prices. And maybe copy some proven designs just like how the outline have been copied. Other than that, all R&D investments are waste. Stronger sensors, bigger models, more computing power, better active suspension are always waste of cost and even stronger and stronger computation power and active right suspension may even have negative impact on range.

And secondly, if we choose to focus on smart devices, then we'd automatically be focused more on what happens in the screen. Features that used to belong to smartphones and smart tablets will be migrated to the car environment. In fact, most of the innovations in smart devices is really about moving what's already available in smartphones into vehicles. And we'll keep moving mobile apps into head units, deploying larger language models in head units, and even do coding in cars and conduct deep research.

But then we asked ourselves the question, when our users buy our cars, do we really buy it for their work or to live a better life? If certain experience are already better in mobile phones and tablets or computers and more natural, why should we even bother putting them in cars? All these investments create very little incremental value for users.

And thirdly, the third route is for us to make our cars into an embodied AI in the physical world or in in layman terms, robots. The movie Transformer told us that there are broadly two types of robots. The first time looks like human beings and the second time looks like cars. Knight Rider and Cars. These TV shows or movies have clearly showed us car, car shaped robots. It's going to be a mainstream form factor of robots going forward.

So how do we transform our cars into robots? We need to give it ears and eyes for perception. We need to give it brains and nerves, which is modeling capability. We usually give it hearts, which is computing power. And we need to reshape the hardware to make it a stronger physical presence. Our robots need to have need to parallel the pub drivers. And can not only drive but also pick you up hard for you have to charge the car up, have to close the door, open the door and particularly make your life more convenient and safer.

It can also play the role of parents, assistants or even flight attendants to provide you the convenience and take care of you within the sphere of the car, just like first class cabin and the services on planes. And it's also like when we're little that our mother takes care of us and make us happy.

So how do we define a good embodied robots? How do they make them to change from passive machines into an automated machine and then further into proactive machines? In the next decade, the most valuable embodied AI product is going to be vehicles that are automated as well as proactive. And competition is really how, how, how automated and proactive can we make these products and how can we fuse them into high frequency life experiences, something that once we get used to, we can never go back.

So whether it's electric vehicles or smart devices, these are not necessarily bad choices, but we think they're not sufficient. And only if we choose embodied AI, which is the hardest about these 3 problems, can we really change the life of our users and really provide automated and proactive services that only embodied AI products can can provide. And it's really like when you see in Transformers movies, they're car shaped robots, or what we see in cars or night riders, they're car, they're robots, they're shaped in cars. And I believe that this is the biggest challenge and opportunity that we entrepreneurs see in this new era.

And the next choice is about technology, or more specifically, our full stack AI system. What do we choose? What kind of technology do we choose to power this full stack AI system? Is this something that's language based, that's faced towards the digital world, or is it something faced towards the physical world? These two these two options require completely different system capabilities.

If we want to build a good embodied AI, we need to build an AI system that's completely different from language based AI models, including perceptions like eyes and ears, including the model itself like brain, including the operating system like nurse, and including the computation power which is like hearts, and also the physical body itself, just like human body. At this moment, there's no third party supplier that can provide this full stack system, and in fact not any company can provide even part of this system.

And the focus of large language models is really focusing on the model itself and computation. Larger models and more computation probably is always going to generate stronger capabilities. However, for embodied AI, we need to better understand the physical world and the model is also built on our understanding of the physical world. Accuracy is the first priority and generalization only comes next.

Operating system needs to make sure the optimal integration is made between the hardware and the software and also provide higher frequency. And also the system needs to be fast and precise. And also the this computation power that powers the perception, the model and the operating system system needs to reside on the device side as opposed to the cloud side.

And lastly, we'll also need to modify the hardware itself to become a brilliant body hardware. And for example, our active suspension, it's just like a 3D nerves to nerve control and it can increase the efficiency and position of execution in the physical world. So if we look at look at this entire AI system through the levels of embodied AI, you will see that there's so many changes that needs to happen and desperately needs to happen.

The first change comes in perception based on the current model and the computation power that can be deployed on the device or three DBV or occupancy network or 2D vision transformer. The effective perception I'm talking about effective as opposed to theoretical maximum. It's only just about over 100 meters, which is way less than human eyes.

However, if we upgrade it to 3D vision transformer, which is just similar to how human eyes work, this range can. Improves by 2-3 times and they can solve more than 50% of the common issues we see in autonomous driving. A 3D vision transformer is not only limited to to autonomous driving, but it can also benefit interactions with the car inside and outside of the car. These can also all become possible.

So that requires fundamental breakthroughs in perception models both in research and also development. And also it requires tailored chips for for embodied AI just like 100 which we have developed and also requires a very strong compiler team and high efficiency cooperation.

The next area of improvement is in models. Only with 3D vision transformer can we really understand the world. The VL in the VLA is really can really understand and and perceive the world better, and human data can be more effectively used for training and world model can also be used more effectively for for training.

For example, in the status quo computation platform, a 4 billion parameter Moe model can only run at 10 Hertz, but the execution frequency is 60 Hertz, so we can increase the frequency of the model by 22 three times. It can also automatically solve many issues, including comfort and speed of reaction in autonomous driving. And it also requires us to fundamentally modify and customize the the traditional GPU architecture and to have a dedicated operating system. And M1M-100, again, is really designed for solving these embodied AI problems.

An athlete is the embodied hardware itself. A human being can typically react to breaking and steering in about 450 milliseconds. And for a typical autonomous driving system, from perception to execution, the entire closed loop takes about 550 milliseconds. So for a typical driver today, they can easily, they're obvious to them that autonomous driving is much slower. It's like an elderly driving car.

But the drive by wire system can reduce, can reduce the response time to about 350 milliseconds. And the difference of 200 milliseconds is not to be underestimated. It can roughly reduce the accident rate by over 50%, and it also feels better even than driving by itself, and it's also safer. It's safer both in the subjective as long as the objective set. So based on these needs, all of the entire control mechanism will be different.

And if we only focus on increasing the scale of model just like we did in language models, for example, if we've increased the size of model 3 times and with corresponding increase interpretation power, the really performance increase is only going to be 5 to 10%. But if we look at this from an embodied AI perspective, solve the key issues in every stack on every level of stack, the next generation autonomous driving can really increase the performance by 5 to 10 fold.

And that is what can power embodied AI to perform vast and accurate and valuable services. And that's the difference between 0 to one. In the past three years, we have made a lot of progress in technology and systems for embodied AI, and that makes us very confident about the next generation of products. The start of Embodied AI robots starts with car robots and it's starting this year, I believe hundreds of billions of revenue as only a starting point.

So the above 3 key strategic choices really laid the foundation for the next decade of our development and more challenging than the last decade. And we're deeply aware that real competition isn't really about short term width. It's about staying on the right path of the long term and having the dedication to keep investing backed by a strong financial foundation. We will stay focused Brace are developed entrepreneurial management style and build leading body intelligence products.

The lead auto can navigate market cycles, lead technological transformation and become a company that creates unique lasting value for users and society and well run. Finally, I'll also look forward to engaging with you guys in this manner moving forward rather than presenting A quarterly report in a fixed format. Want to express my gratitude to all of you. For your support and for us, especially during our most challenging times, we're fully committed to making Liotta the best performing company in embodied intelligence and the greatest creator of the user value within the next three to five years. Thank you.

Thank you. Yeah, hello everyone. I will now walk you through some of our third quarter financials. Given time constraints, my remarks today will be limited to the financial highlights. Officers will be called in RMB unless otherwise stated. For further details, we encourage you to refer to our earnings press release.

Total revenues in the so-called were RMB 27.4 billion, decreased 36.2% year over year and 9.5% quarter over quarter. This included RMB 25.9 billion from vehicle sales decreased 37.4% year over year and 10.4% quarter over quarter, mainly due to lower vehicle deliveries. The sequential decline was partially offset by a higher average selling price due to the different products make.

Cost of sales in the third quarter was RMB 22.9 billion, down 22.5% year over year and 5.3% quarter over quarter. Gross profit in the third quarter was RMB 4.5 billion, down 51.6% year over year and 26.3% quarter over quarter. Vehicle marking in the third quarter was 15.5% versus 20.9% in the same period last year and 19 point 119.4% in the prior quarter.

The year over year decrease was mainly due to estimated the mega recall cost and higher per unit manufacturing cost from a lower production volume. The sequential decline was mainly due to the same recall related cost. Excluding such recall cost, vehicle margin would have been 19.8% in the third quarter.

Gross margin in the third quarter was 16.3% versus 21.5% in the same period last year and 20.1% in the prior quarter. Excluding the above mentioned Li mega recall cost, gross margin would have been 20.4% in the so quarter.

Operating expenses in the so quarter were RMB 5.6 billion, down 2.5% year over year and up 7.8% quarter over quarter. R&B expenses in third quarter were R&B 3 billion, up 15% year over year and 5.8% quarter over quarter. The year over year increase was mainly due to the impact of the pace of new vehicle programs and increased investment in expanding our product portfolio and technology along with expenses from the product configuration adjustment.

The sequential increase was mainly due to those same product configuration adjustment expenses. SG and A expenses in the third quarter were RMB 2.8 billion, down 17.6% year over year and up 1.9% quarter over quarter. The year over year decrease was mainly due to the recognition of share based compensation expenses. Regarding the CEO performance based awards in the third quarter of last year, loss from operations in the third quarter was RMB 1.2 billion versus RMB 3.4 billion income from operations in the same period last year and RMB 827 million income from operations in the prior quarter.

Operating margin in the third quarter was negative 4.3% versus 8% in the same period last year and 2.7%. In the prior quarter, net loss in the third quarter was RMB 624.4 million versus RMB 2.8 billion net income in the same period last year and RMB 1.1 billion net income in the prior quarter.

Diluted net loss per ADS attributable to our ordinary shareholders was RMB zero point 6/2 in the third quarter versus diluted net earnings of RMB 2.66 in the same period last year and RMB 1.03 in the prior quarter.

Turning to our balance sheets and cash flow. Our cash presentation remains strong with a quarter ended balance of RMB 98.9 billion. Netcash used in operating activities in the third quarter was RMB 7.4 billion versus RMB 11 billion provided in the same period last year and RMB 3 billion used in the prior quarter.

3 tax goal was negative RMB 8.9 billion in the third quarter versus RMB 9.1 billion in the same period last year and negative RMB 3.8 billion in the prior quarter.

And now for our business outlook. For the fourth quarter of 2025, the company expects the delivery to be between 100,000 and 110,000 vehicles and totally totally revenue to be between RMB 56.5 billion and RMB 29.2 billion. This basis outlook reflects the company's current and preliminary view on its business situation and market conditions, which is subject to change.

That concludes our prepared remarks. I will now turn the call over to the operator and start our Q&A session. Thank you.

Yingbo Zu

好的，好的，感谢管理层，我是中信证券的许英博。我有两个问题，那第一个呢，我们很高兴的听到理想总关于过去的一个波折的反思，也更高兴的听到管理层计划重新回归创业公司的这么一个状态，嗯，也十年做了一个产品规划和技术展望，我们也同意就是说AI 时代的产品大概率不是一个简单的升级，应该是基于AI 时代的用户体验的全新产品设计。

那车和具身智能也都是物理AI 的这个重要的载体，也有同源的技术和相似的底层逻辑。但是我们其实更想关注的就是说，任何技术和产品的代际的研发和切换，它都是需要时间的，它是很难立竿见影的。所以我的第一个问题就是，如果我们只展望未来一年2026年，有什么我们能够期待的技术和产品，以及基于未来十年的考量，我们投资人大概在多远的未来，真正能够看到公司产品和技术的一个跳升，感受到真正的不同。

那我的第二个问题呢，是关于三电的，就是公司产品从增程向纯电切换，呃，不可避免会面对很多挑战，我们也已经面对了这样的挑战。那么围绕着电动的这个技术和产业链，在未来纯电车的三电领域，我们做了哪些有效的技术储备和供应链的储备，能不能给投资人更多的信息和更多的信心。

So I have two questions. The first question is about we are very glad to hear the companies return to entrepreneurship and next decades plan, but any R&D and develop this time. So my first question is that if we just say next year 2026, what kind of technology or products progress can we expect? And also from the investors perspective, how long can we really see a technology or product jump in future, how long? And the second question related to Bev, the company's transition from EREV to BABEV, this challenges. So can we please give us more information or confidence in this Bev part, how we prepare for the effective technology reserves and the supply chain preparation? Thank you.

Xiang Li

因为我来我是理想来回答第一个问题，那，呃我们认为在2026年的时候也是在明年，然后搭载我们以M100芯片然后为核心的，然后AI 系统，然后开始交付在产品的上的时候，然后我觉得这个真正的价值和体验就会发生改变。那我觉得具体的改变还是我之前讲的得会让汽车这样的产品，然后从被动的使用，然后变成真正的然后自动化和主动化来为用户提供服务。

而且这种服务和体验，然后并不是说我们要搞一个deep research或者我们去做一个coding，或者我们生成一个视频，然后而是它会体现在我们日常的生活和高频体验中，每天都会感受到每天都能够体验到这样的价值带来的根本性的变化，对，我觉得这是讲的第一点。

我第二点说，如果未来的十年，然后到底有什么样的然后明确的功能啊，或者价值啊，然后可以呈现我觉得基于我们对然后人工智能和自身智能的理解，它没有办法像传统的编程或者硬件功能给出明确的功能这样的一个特性，而是说当去构建整个人工智能的系统化能力的时候，只要一些关最关键的核心的问题被解决，或者一些关键的性能进行突破，它会带来一系列的然后体现在我们具体的生活中或者产品价值上的然后一系列的，然后改变，而且改变，甚至会远超我们的预期。

我觉得这是我们正确的我们自己理解的人工智能和具身智能然后能够给我们的物理世界，给产品给我们日常的生活然后带来的转变以及背后的驱动力，而非传统的编程啊和功能模式的这样的一个呈现方式。

On your first question about 2026, next year we'll be launching our AI system based on our internally developed M100 chips. And once this system gets in the car, that's where we'll start to see real value and change of user experience. As I mentioned earlier, our products would go from a passive a machine that passively takes orders to a more automated machine and even a proactive machine that can provide services for the users.

So I like large language models that which can conduct deep research for video generation. This embodied AI products and really benefit our users in their everyday use at a very high frequency. And on the second part about the next 10 years, I like programming or traditional rule based programming. We do not have a feature list or a list of functions.

Instead, AI really for a complex AI system, if we can solve key issues in some important areas and improved performances in the bottleneck points, then we will start to see a series of changes that are unimagined before. And that's our late understanding of embodied AI and AI system. And this is really the room for imagination for the next 10 years. Thank you

Donghui Ma

呃，那个刘果你好，我是理想汽车马东辉，我来回答第二个问题，关于三电领域的研发和供应的布局。其实理想汽车一直啊，聚焦在三电核心技术上进行的话自研包含电驱动啊电池和电控技术的一些突破。然后我们在电驱系统方面的话，我们主要是聚焦对于用户有价值的像同效啊以及道化体验。

那我们自己的话是自研代工了碳化硅功率芯片，然后并且我们自研自制了功率模块以及电机控制器的生产和研发。那同步呢理想汽车也自己建成了专属驱动电机的工厂，那这样的话就构建了从碳化硅功率芯片然后再到功率模块，再到电机的全链条自研能力。

并且我们的电驱技术啊啊，不仅是用在纯电车型上面，也包含增程的全系车型，可以保证在驾驶过程当中很安静很平顺，然后并且也有效的话是优化了能耗的水平提升的话车辆的续航里程。

那关于电池技术的话，我们是聚焦在充电速度和安全，然后我们围绕的话5C超充的电池，然后也构建了全站的自研能力啊，包括电芯的化学体系，然后电池管理系统BMS 控制模型和算法，然后以及电池派克的布局和结构设计可以实现超快充啊长续航长寿命单程的核心优势。

然后在电池的供应布局方面的话呢，我们规划的话是采用外购然后加自研合适的双模式，那明年我们也将量产理想自主品牌5C的电池，然后通过自研技术产业化的落地，进一步强化电池的安全性能然后升级啊，丰富的不能体验。

那最后一点的话是在电控，我们通过软硬件的全自研然后打造极致的驾驶质感，那在软件端我们可以实现对于动力的控制，呃，能站的管理以及发动机的标定等全站的话自研，然后在硬件端的话，像一些核心的预控制器啊，PCB 的out 呀，以及底层软件的自主研发啊都是我们全站自研，通过与自研底盘技术的协同然后可以实现对于车辆驾驶性和平顺性的精准优化然后打造好开一上手的驾驶特质。

那总体来说，通过三电技术的自研，我们是希望能够以技术硬实力，然后为用户带来充电快啊，续航长好开又安全的去听性体验。

On the key in house BAT related technologies, we focus on three areas, electric drive a battery systems and electronic control. First of all, on the electric drive system our focus is on efficiency and user experience. We have an in house developed and outsourced our manufacturing of silicon carbide power chips and in house developed and self met and in house manufacturing of power modules and motor controllers but also established established our own dedicated dry motor factory.

We have built a full chain in house development capability spanning from silicon carbide power chips, power modules to electric motor assemblies. Our Electro Dr. technology covers all that and E ref models in turn quiet and smooth driving experience while also optimizing for energy consumption and vehicle driving range.

And secondly on the battery system, our focus is on ultra fast charging and safety. We have built a full stack in house capability around 5C ultra fast charging batteries with full control over self chemistry, BMS control modules and algorithms as well as battery pack layouts and structural design and achieving 3 core advantages across ultrafast charging, long driving range and long service life.

On the supply front, we also have a combined strategy of external procurement and in house development. The auto own 5C batteries will enter mass production next year. This industrialization of in house developed technology will further strengthen our battery safety and also improve user experience.

And thirdly, on the electronic control system, our goal is to provide the best driving experience also through in house developed hardware and software. On the software side, we have full stack in house development capabilities, powertrain control, power management and engine calibration. On the hardware side, our core domain controller, PCB layout are all development now as well as the underlying software together with our in house chassis technology and we were able to enhance driving smoothness and comfort and make the drive experience easy and intuitive to our users.

So through a combination of free electrical technology, including battery electric control and electric drive, we provide our users with a with a special fast charging, long range move and safe driving experience. Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. Your next question comes from Tim Xiao from Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead.

Tim Xiao

好啊，我是莫根山的Tim，首先感谢这个管理层，也分享下个十年的策略愿景和对我一些思考，也感谢接受我的提问，那我有两个阶段的问题，想先回归到短期的经营挑战和进展，那第一个问题是有关于呃纯电这一块，就是想了解一下理想I6以及I8目前订单情况以及消费情况，啊，当下和公司如何解决这个供应的问题，然后后续啊，如果展望这个后续的一些销量。

然后第二个问题是想请教一下就是现金流，因为我们看到公司呃Q3的经营活动现金流，呃这流出进一步的扩大啊，这也导致于可能现金不会有所减少，主要的原因是什么，然后我们怎么看待后续现金流的一个改善的一个情况。

so 啊Two quick questions focusing on the near term operation. So the first one about the the product the ICS could imagine share the latest updates on orders and deliveries of Li, IH and I6 and in the meantime out and where could you start the current supply bottleneck of the Li, I6 and I8 and how should you think about the normalized sales volume of the two I series models in the following months? Second question about cash flow, we also actually register increasing operating cash house flow of about 7.4 billion RMB or free cash house flow of 8.9 billion during this quarter. So this caused quite a significant drop in company's cash reserve. We know why. Why is that and how should we think about the cash flow in the following quarters? That's my second question. Thank you.

Donghui Ma

呃Tim 你好，我是理想汽车马同辉，我来回答第一个问题。然后，呃，今年的话我们通过I6I8，然后构建了Bev 的产品矩阵，然后分别去覆盖主流和高端的家庭纯电市场，也为理想汽车纯电业务长期的稳定增长奠定了坚实的基础。

呃，对于我们来说的话，我们也完成了征程和纯电三能源形式的产品的一个布局实现的话，有效的互补，满足用户不同的需求。而对于纯电车型的话，核心亮点那I 系列产品实现了区域渗透率的大幅突破，特别是像对于像上海啊，北京江浙沪等纯电的话核心市场在九月份上述地区的订单大幅的话增加。

那关于供应的话，目前，呃，理想I8和I62款产品，呃，正经历产能爬坡啊，交付提速以及市场渗透发展的路径。那从十一月份起为了解决产能爬坡，然后I6电池的供应将正式启用双供应商的模式，但是我们会保障两家供应商电池的性能跟质量标准是一致的。

然后预计的话，啊，明年年初啊，I6的月产能将稳步提升到两万台。那在此呢，我们也想向理想I6的订单车主啊这一诚挚的歉意，受核心零部件供应的规划和产能爬坡的影响啊，您的提车时间有所延迟，感谢您的信任和选择，也恳请啊给予我们更多的支持和时间啊，我们将全力加班加点提升产能，家属交付的进程，谢谢。

Now this year, we established our BAV portfolio with I8 and I6 models respectively. They cover the mainstream and premium segment for the family BAV market. These two cars create a solid foundation for the long term stable growth of our BAV business. We also deployed our products for to support the dual energy strategy, namely E Rev and BAV, which effectively complements each other and to meet the diverse needs of our users.

A key highlight that's worth mentioning is that we have made breakthroughs in key regional markets. The I series has successfully entered Corbett market such as Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Judy Young with orders in these areas starting to increase significantly from September.

The I8 and I6 are steadily going through the path of production ramp up delivery acceleration and market penetration. And starting in November to address production ramp up challenges we have, we will officially start to begin a dual supplier strategy for our batteries on VI 6 will ensure consistent performance and quality standards between these two suppliers.

We'll expect monthly VL six production can keep capacity to steadily increase to about 20,000 units starting from early next year. We sincerely apologize to customers who placed orders on I-6 and still waiting for their cars to be delivered. Due to constraints in the supply chain planning of key components at the pace of production ramp up your vehicle is still delivery schedule has been affected.

We deeply appreciate your trusted choice of the auto and we kindly ask for your continued understanding and patience. Our team is working around the clock to accelerate the production and expedite the delivery process.

Johnny Tilley

For second question, Tim, this is John. I think for the operating cash flow, it's about two reasons. First, as we guided in the last earnings release, the third quarter we faced great pressure on the deliveries and the delivery decrease will make the revenue decrease, which will finally impact the operating cash flow and also the impact of shorten of the payment cycle suppliers.

And this is you may know it's due to the the government's authority starting from good in the national life. Actually we value our partnership with our supply chain partners and actively respond to their requirements. Currently the settlement. For all our accounts payable is 68 and the payment is either as a very transfer or bank without any business notes or some kind of certificates from the OEM, the normal. Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. Your next question comes from Ming Hassan Lee from B of A. Please go ahead.

Ming Hassan Lee

谢谢管理层给我的提问机会，我是美银证券的命。那我这边就是有两个问题一并请教，那第一个问题公司怎么看明年置换补贴政策的变化，以及购置税提高至五个percent 的影响，如果置换补贴退坡的话，公司相对应的。

So my first question is that because the next year the trading subsidy policy will change and also the EV purchase tax will increase from 0% to 5%, if the subsidy decline next year, what will be your sales strategy for 2026?

那我第二个问题呢，是这个，因为我们明年2026年的这个L 系列也会有重大的改款，那请问有哪一些亮点可以期待。

So my next second question is that in 2026 your E i.e. VL series will have a new generation. So what can we expect the most? The new features, specs and the quite would be the new advantages for for your new models.

Donghui Ma

呃，你好，我是马东辉，我来回答这两个问题。然后第一个问题的话是关于啊，置换补贴以及购置税的问题啊，我们认为的话这也是汽车行业从原有的政策驱动然后转向的话市场驱动的一个过程，呃，这也是企业核心竞争力的一个凸显期。

然后购置税政策的拓退坡呀，呃，短期市场一定会产生波动，因为用户会在呃，2025年年底，然后集中去锁定优惠啊，会出现类似的翘尾效应啊，并且在2026年Q1的销量啊，自然会出现环比的下调，但长期来看的话，我们还是呃维持这个乐观，那Nev 的话渗透率啊也会稳步的增加。

那2026年国内的话，新能源渗透率我们预估啊，可能会达到55%到60%，呃，对于高端市场的Nev 渗透率啊，会突破的话60%。然后对于理想汽车的应对，呃策略的话，首先的话在过渡阶段还是要保障用户的利益啊，并且我们二零年新开发的车型要适配新的法规的规范。

那在过渡期的话我们也推出了安心购车的方案，比如承担啊I6年底前锁单用户跨年交付的购置税的一个差额，然后并且我们二六款所有产品油耗电耗啊全部达成新政策的要求啊，可以享受二六年新政策的优惠。

呃，长期的话呢，还是要强化用户的价值，通过技术的升维来对冲影响，呃，没有捷径。那2026年的话呢，呃，我们全系采取八百伏高压平台以及5C的超充电池啊，提高效率降低能耗，并且在2026年我们也将建成啊大约啊4800座超充站，并且高速充电桩的占比啊预计也会超过35%啊，以及通过深化供应链的国产化啊，规模效应啊稳定的的价格。

呃对于产品力，我们只有加速迭代再加速迭代。那总结来说的话，这个政策退坡肯定是行业高质量发展的一个分水岭，那理想2026年我们是有信心哈，这个实现交付量历史的突破，然后以产品力和用户价值去穿越周期，巩固我们在高端市场的领先地位，谢谢。

We believe this change marks the auto industry's transformation from policy driven adoption to organic market driven adoption and it is precisely driven this phase that the value of stronger players can really stand out. As the purchase tax policy phases out, there will be fluctuations in the first short term, we believe we expect to see a pull forward effect, namely if customers rush to lock in their ascendance at the end of 2025, that will naturally lead to a substantial dip in the deliveries in Q12026.

Looking into the longer term, we are optimistic about the penetration rate of Nuvs. In 2026, the NUV penetration rate in the domestic Chinese market will probably reach between 55 to 60% with the rate of in the premium segment exceeding 60%. At the Auto, our response strategy is to guarantee user benefits and adapt to new standards. And with our new vehicles rolling out during the transition and for the transition period, we have a Peace of Mind.

Purchase program covering the purchase tax difference for I6 customers who locked in their orders in 2025 but pay deliveries in 2026. All of our 2026 models meet the new standards for gas and energy consumption, so they will qualify for 2026 incentives. In the longer term, we will continue to be dedicated to user value and offset policy impacts through technology advancements.

For example, we will be fully adopting 508 hundred Volt high voltage platform and 5C ultra fast batteries to enhance efficiency and reduce energy consumption in 2026. We aim to operate about 404,800 supercharging stations by 2026, which with 30 percent, 35% of which will be on Hwy. service stations. We'll continue to deepen our supply chain localization and leverage economy scale to stabilize pricing, while accelerated accelerated product adoration to keep all of 2026 models at the forefront of product product, product competitiveness.

At the product strength, we must accelerate bottle iteration and accelerate further. In summary, this policy phase out marks of watershed moment for the industry's shift from towards high quality development. The auto is poised to achieve a historic breakthrough and deliveries in 2026 and we will navigate this cycle through superior product strength and user value, thereby consolidating our leadership in the premium market.

呃，关于第二个问题就是2026款哈还有系列的改款的车型的一些这个时间跟亮点啊，本来应该是说产品这个具体发布时间和细节呀，我们应该在合适的时机正式全面的对外公布。那今天呢，我还是想稍微的话这个透露一下啊，首先那个2020年还有系列的大改款，呃，我们是基于用户啊，这个反馈以及核心技术积累，然后想去打造的代机型的迭代产品，然后去承接2026年我们要重回征程，产品领先地位的整体战略目标。

然后在车型配置方面的话，我们会回顾回归呃精简的sku 模式，然后兼顾市场的覆盖和这个供应的效率，呃，希望实现核心体验全系拉满，然后彻底消除啊入门版体验打折的一个痛点，然后在设计方面的话，我们也会延续家族的经典设计基因，同时强化豪华质感的升级，然后去平衡品牌的高辨识度以及用户体验的话新鲜感，去打造更加贴合家庭需求的产品形态。

那在技术方面的话，全系会标配5C的操纵技术，那和我们现在的纯电的超充网络更好，协同更好的话去解决补能的焦虑。那同时呢，也依托征程领域先发的优势和技术沉淀，然后进一步去强化理想汽车是征程领导者的品牌认知。

呃，2026年啊，L 系列大改款的核心就是用确定性的技术升级，确定性的交付节奏确定性的用户价值，从容去回应市场的不确定性，谢谢啊。

Usually on product release dates and more details we need to choose an appropriate time to release publicly. But today I still want to take the opportunity to give a glimpse on our products roll out for next year. The next year for L series is going to be a major generational upgrade and the changes are based on deep research of users and their feedback as well as our accumulation of technology over the years.

And we want to build a very strong product that's also fundamentally different from the current generation. And all this is to support our goal of reclaiming leadership in the E Rev market in 2026. In terms of model configuration, we'll be going back to the simplified SKU approach, which balances market coverage as well as supply chain efficiency.

So even the base model will not compromise in terms of user experience that will have all features as standard. And in terms of design upgrades, while retaining our iconic design DNA, we will be upgrading the premium field and craftsmanship will strike a balance between strong brand identity and fresh user appeal and to refine our products to better serve the needs of family users.

On the core technology front, 5C standard supercharging will be standard on all models and seamlessly integrating with our existing charging network to officially address range. And at the same time, we will reinforce our position as the E Rev leader, building on our first mover advantage and deep expertise in E Revs.

The 2026 all series refresh is about responding to market uncertainty with three certainties on technological upgrades, delivery cadence and user value. We'll announce the specific launch timing on further details at the appropriate time. Please stay tuned. Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. Your next question comes from Paul Gong at UBS. Please go ahead.

Paul Gong

好感谢管理层接受我的提问啊，我有两个问题啊。第一个问题是关于这个mega 的召回的，嗯，就我们了解到，就这召回是四季度宣布的啊，为什么这个成本是期在三季度，然后这个金额是怎么确定的啊，有多少是由供应链承担，多少由我们自己承担，嗯，它对于四季度的毛利率会有些什么影响。

然后在当前这个召回的情况的更新以及就是最新的mega 的这个订单啊，能否也分享一下啊，这是第一个问题。第二个问题是关于这个，呃AI 的这一边的啊，能否请管理层分享一下啊，vla 和事件模型啊，当前的进展，用户的反馈，后续的研发目标和迭代的进度。

So let me translate. I have two questions. The first one is regarding the recall of the mega. I noticed this was announced in Q4. Why are you booking it in Q3 and how did you determine the amount of the sharing between yourself and the supply chain? What's the impact for the Q4GP margin? And if possible, please also update us about the latest situation of the call back of the recall as well as the the latest order of MEGA.

My second question is regarding the AI. Can you please update us the latest development of VOA or what? And the user feedback, if possible, please also give more color for the future targets and upgrades process. Thank you, Paul.

Johnny Tilley

This is Johnny. I think I will shortly and we'll respond to our question very shortly. 1st of this, we recognize this in Q3 is we regard this event as a subsequent event. So it will be accrued in the most recent quarter you can recall. So it's the baseball standard and for, for, for the the recall, I think we have announcement. I don't want to repeat most of the details covered.

And currently we, we just make all the battery pack to fulfill the recall requirement that the the demand and which means we lower the delivery of our 2025 megahertz delivery. So which means all the battery pack you shift most of them to replace the 2024 ripple. I think that's best of the customer's benefit and that's the country's value proposition different.

Donghui Ma

哎，胖你好，我是马东辉，我来回答第二个问题，关于VOIA 的，呃，当前进展以及迭代的话速度。然后理想的话VOA10一大模型的话已经在九月份然后全量的话推送给了ad Max 的车型，然后并且我们凭借模型迭代的迁移能力快速的话去覆盖从新款的I 系列到二二款的理想还有九，然后让所有用户均能够同步去体验它的核心能力，然后实现老车也能够享受啊，新的科技，新的体验。

在通过用户的反馈和数据分析啊啊，体验的升级是有明显的成效啊，特别是I 系列的车主试驾的使用啊，意愿是很强的，然后用户的日活以及MPI 就是接管前的平均行驶里程数，均称上升的一个趋势，然后并且用户也普遍的话反馈，然后a 在纵向控制上更加丝滑，然后绕行的决策呀，更加的果断，然后在复杂路口选路准确性方面的话也显著的提升。

那后续的话呢，我们会，嗯，不断的迭代，然后功能，呃，持续的话突破。那OTA 8.0是作为首个全量推送的版本，而当时的话是以安全作为核心的优化体验。那在十二月初啊，我们会推送OTA 8.1，然后进一步去提升vla 的感知能力，响应更加的话精准。

然后在十二月底呃我们会进行架构的升级，重点去强化语言和行为信息的交互，优化的话决策的流程，并且会适配2026年自研芯片M100的上车，那后续的话我们也会有更多创新的功能啊，陆续落地啊，推出行业首创防御型的AES 功能，然后去升级安全防护的能力。

我们也在探索任意车位到任意车位全场景的泊车，并且结合我们自建的超充站去实现智能找车的功能，去真正完善智能出行的身份。

We rolled out our VLA driver to all of our AD Max vehicles in September and with the strong migration capability of our model across all releases, all of our AD Max users have access to this new model, including the new I series users as well as VL 9 users who bought the car back in 20/20/12 and they're able to experience it's core capabilities across the board.

User feedback and data analysis have very clearly felt the effectiveness, the level of experience improvement. We can see that the all series and I series owners have a strong. The I series owners have a stronger willingness to use the only driver, with both DAU and MPI showing improvements.

In the meantime, users generally report the VLA to be smoother, especially in longitudinal control and more proactive and decisive in in detours and more accurate and root selection and complete and complex intersections. And with ongoing iteration, the functions of VLA will continue to achieve further breakthroughs.

For OTA 8 point O, which is our first full scale rollout, the priority is mostly focused on safety And in early December we will release the OTA 8.1 which further in case it enhances VLA perception capabilities from more precise and responsive behavior.

And by your end, we will deploy an architecture upgrade with strength and language behavior interaction streamline the decision making process which will be compatible with our upcoming in house develop and 100 chip. The Encore system improvements. We're rolling out a series of innovations, including the industry's first defensive driving AES feature to enhance safety capability and any point to any point full scenario, automated parking and a smart Finder to find charging stations and part automatically. And all this completes the smart mobility ecosystem. Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. Your next question comes from Tina Hu from GS. Please go ahead.

Tina Hu

嗯，感谢管理层接受我的提问，我是高盛的Tina 啊，由于时间关系，我就问最后一个问题啊，想请问一下，就是刚才公司也提到咱们自研的芯片啊，所以想问一下这个自研芯片以及自研操作系统啊，咱们开源的一个进展和后续的规划啊，在。

Management for taking my question. So I just have one question. What is the progress in terms of our in house developed SoC as well as the operating system and then the progress in terms of open source and then future development? Thank you.

Yan He

Hi Tina, let me answer your question. We believe that AI Info system is a core foundation for intelligent vehicles. To achieve this efficiency, the system must be designed as integrated architecture, not as separate parts. Our in house design, controller, hardware and operating system have enabled us to reduce development time for industry average of 15 months to nine months while lowering cost by 20%.

Many modules in the infra stack still come from suppliers to innovate faster. Together, we open source the Halo OS, enabling collaborative development with our partners and ecosystem. In September, we established the fatal OS technical steering community and assisting companies across intelligent vehicles. Better Chain signed the community charters including OEMs, chain makers, software and hardware service providers and component suppliers.

At the same time, we are undergoing our own vehicle foundation model for physical AI. Our focus is to improve perception, understanding and response so the model can see better, understand better and react faster. The AI inference chip is the computing engine of this system. Our controller build with our in house design chip and 100 is now undergoing large scale system testing. We expected commercial development take place the next year.

Co designed with our foundation model compiler and software system, we expected the M100 within our next generation VLA based autonomous driving system to achieve at least three times the performance to cost ratio of today's high end trips on the basis of highly efficient AI inference and execution systems. Our next priority will be faster iteration, continuous performance improvement and lower cost development of our next generation platform and Chip has already begun. Thank you.
