Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Li Auto aims to transform into an AI company.

The company plans to develop humanoid robots in the future, as detailed by founder and CEO Li Xiang in a video on its website.

Li Auto intends to create its foundational AI model, Mind GPT, with the goal of ranking among China’s top three models in the coming years.

This ambition positions the company in competition with tech firms beyond the EV sector.

Additionally, Li Auto is preparing to launch a mobile app for its AI assistant, Lixiang Tongxue, which is based on Mind GPT.
