Amid the explosive growth of the automotive AI market, IAT Automobile Technology Co, Ltd. (IAT) has forged Beijing IAT TAI Artificial Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd. (IAT TAI) through a tripartite alliance with IAT, Tsinghua Capital’s decade-old Industrial Research Institute VC and Beijing EV Tera Technology Limited Partnership. 

The tech venture will spearhead next-gen vehicle intelligence through proprietary AI infrastructure software, domain-specific application ecosystems, and smart mobility architectures. As IAT’s AI innovation flagship, the entity will phase in strategic equity partnerships with large model companies, algorithmic innovators, and OEM giants while fueling the company's growth by attracting more capital support.

Market research data shows that the global automotive AI market is projected to reach 1.6154 billion US dollars by 2027, with an annual growth rate of 35.2%. The growth rate of the Chinese market is even more rapid. It is expected to increase from 358 million US dollars in 2020 to 3.802 billion US dollars in 2027, with a compound annual growth rate of 41.79%. In order to wisely capitalize on this high-growth frontier, IAT is leveraging its 20+ years of industry expertise and proprietary data assets to establish early-mover dominance in this untapped market space.

IAT TAI will focus on R&D for core technologies, including automotive product attribute TAI Models, automotive design knowledge TAI Models, CAD intelligent generation TAI Models, styling generation TAI Models, performance reverse deduction TAI Models, and CAE intelligent simulation TAI Models. 

IAT possesses industry-leading data resources, encompassing 5,470 first-tier technical standards, over 6,000 overseas regulation databases, and extensive CAE data, test data, and vehicle model data, which will provide a robust foundation for AI model training. Recently, IAT launched "TAI" model set, a vertical AI creative design tool, offering a novel intelligent styling solution for the automotive industry.

“Establishing this AI company marks a critical strategic move in the intelligent era," stated an IAT representative. "We will fully leverage our experience in automotive design and integrate cutting-edge AI technologies to deliver more innovative solutions for the industry. The company will continue building foundational layers such as computing power, develop hundreds of algorithm toolkits or intelligent agents based on seven core TAI Models, and empower global automotive design and even industrial design sectors."

The newly established entity operates on a hybrid R&D-service integration model, delivering three core offerings: industry-specific AI model development for automakers, licensing of proprietary AI software solutions, and strategic co-development partnerships with its parent company. Anchored by IAT’s veteran engineering team and augmented by external specialists, the organization is forging a cross-functional talent ecosystem that bridges automotive engineering expertise with cutting-edge AI proficiency.

Going forward, IAT will focus on "Automotive User Value — Attribute TAI Models" mindset to pioneer a suite of domain-specific AI models, cognitive tools, and agent systems. These innovations will span critical development pillars including product architecture optimization, generative design automation, AI-optimized component engineering, and predictive performance simulation. 

The initiative aims to evolve into an AI-native digital design ecosystem for automotive R&D, establishing next-gen technical pedestal while redefining industry business models and landscape through sustained AI investment. "By collaborating with global partners, we’re positioned to co-create the future of Chinese intelligent vehicle development. We make our efforts in science for better cars." the company added.
