Baidu AI Cloud Automotive China Translated from Chinese

Changan Automobile (长安汽车)

Changan needed a large-scale intelligent-computing foundation to support growing data volumes and accelerate work on autonomous driving, connected vehicles, and large-model applications as it transformed into an intelligent low-carbon mobility company.

142 exa-operations per second compute capacity
30,000+ AI model-training runs completed
GPU utilization improved by 40%+
nearly 100 million labeled frames accumulated

Reported impact

Business outcome

Changan significantly increased GPU efficiency, accelerated intelligent-vehicle development, and established a long-term AI base for both enterprise and in-vehicle innovation.

  • Productivity Improvement
  • Scalability

Solution

Baidu AI Cloud and Changan built an intelligent-computing center around the Baige AI heterogeneous computing platform and Changan's own Xinghuan platform. The compute center delivers 14.2 exa-operations per second and gives Changan a unified environment that spans data collection, processing, labeling, training, evaluation, and model deployment for intelligent-driving and connected-vehicle programs. Baige acts as the infrastructure base, while Xinghuan provides unified scheduling and management across clusters, GPU resources, and storage. The platform has already accumulated nearly one hundred million labeled frames and more than 30,000 AI model-training runs, which means Changan can treat the environment as a reusable industrial AI factory rather than a point solution. Baidu also extends the same foundation into ERNIE-powered in-vehicle experiences, enterprise knowledge-management experiments, and compute-optimization services for Changan's self-developed industry models, making the intelligent-computing center a shared base for both vehicle-facing and enterprise-facing AI.

Data flow

Vehicle and R&D data are collected, processed, labeled, trained, evaluated, and deployed through Xinghuan on top of Baige's compute center, while optimized models are used for intelligent-driving, connected-vehicle, knowledge-management, and in-vehicle dialogue scenarios.

Solution architecture

3 components · 3 layers
  1. Compute
    • Baige AI Heterogeneous Computing Platform Provides the intelligent-computing infrastructure base for Changan's model training, connected-vehicle analytics, and autonomous-driving R&D.
  2. Serving
    • ERNIE Supports in-vehicle dialogue and service capabilities as well as enterprise knowledge-management experiments on top of the intelligent-computing center.
  3. Orchestration
    • Xinghuan Platform Handles end-to-end data and model workflows from collection and labeling through training, evaluation, deployment, and unified cross-cluster resource scheduling.

Architecture clues

  • Baidu provides additional large-model compute optimization for Changan's self-developed industry models.
  • The intelligent-computing center supports both automotive R&D and enterprise AI applications.
  • The platform unifies data collection, labeling, training, evaluation, deployment, and resource scheduling rather than treating those as separate toolchains.
