Paper 1: self-supervised learning from images with a joint-embedding predictive architecture

Authors: Mahmoud Assran et al.

Paper link: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2301.08243.pdf

Abstract: Let AI learn and reason like human beings, which is an important step for artificial intelligence to move towards human intelligence. Yann LeCun, winner of Turing Prize, once proposed a solution of self-monitoring and world model, and now he finally has the first real visual model-I-JEPA. As shown in the following figure, I-JEPA uses a single context block to predict the representations of various target blocks originating from the same image.

Recommendation: The first study of LeCun world model is coming: self-monitoring vision, learning and reasoning like human beings, which is open source.

Paper 2: Adversarial example does good: preventing painting from different models via Adversarial examples.

Authors: Chumeng Liang et al

Paper link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.04578

This paper introduces a paper included in ICML 2023 Oral, which was jointly completed by the Shanghai Key Laboratory of Scalable Computing and Systems, new york University and Queen’s University of Belfast. The joint works of this thesis are Liang Chumeng, who is about to study for a doctorate at the University of Southern California, and Wu Xiaoyu, a graduate student at Shanghai Jiaotong University.

Recommendation: quietly add pixel-level watermark to the picture: the method to prevent AI from "copying" works of art has been found.

Paper 3: Disentangling Writer and Character Styles for Writing Generation

Authors: Gang Dai et al.

Paper link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.14736

In this paper, researchers from South China University of Technology, National University of Singapore, Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Pazhou Laboratory jointly put forward an interesting handwritten character generation method, which can copy the user’s writing style only by providing a few reference samples, and then generate arbitrary characters that conform to this style.

Recommendation: AI, which can imitate handwriting, creates a unique font for you and is selected as CVPR 2023.

Paper 4: Instructive Eval: Towards Holistic Evaluation of Instruction-Tuned Large Language Models

Authors: Yew Ken Chia et al.

Paper link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.04757

Abstract: Over the years, what is the performance of instruction tuning large language model? This study puts forward a brand-new evaluation suite, which comprehensively evaluates them in solving problems, writing and aligning human values, and the results may exceed your expectations. The researchers provide an overall overview of the open source instruction model in Table 3 below.

Recommendation: for four years, the basic open source model has not really improved, and the evaluation of the instruction tuning model is amazing.

Paper 5: reverse engineering self-supervised learning

Authors: Ido Ben-Shaul et al.

Paper link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.15614v2

Self-supervised learning can use the unsupervised data of auxiliary tasks to mine its own supervision information, and train the network through this constructed supervision information, so as to learn valuable representations for downstream tasks. Recently, many researchers, including Yann LeCun, winner of Turing Prize, published a study, claiming that self-supervised learning was reverse-engineered, so that we could understand the internal behavior of its training process.

In order to intuitively understand SSL training, Figure 1 below shows the embedding space of training samples of the network through UMAP visualization, which includes the situation before and after training and is divided into different levels.

Recommendation: New research achievement of Yann LeCun team: For self-supervised learning reverse engineering, the original clustering is realized in this way.

Paper 6: video composer: comprehensive video synthesis with motion controllability

Authors: Xiang Wang et al

Paper link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.02018

Abstract: In the field of AI painting, Composer proposed by Ali and ControlNet proposed by Stanford led the theoretical development of controllable image generation. However, the exploration of controllable video generation in the industry is still in a relatively blank state. Compared with image generation, controllable video is more complicated, because besides the spatial controllability of video content, it also needs to meet the controllability of time dimension. Based on this, the research teams of Alibaba and Ant Group took the lead in making an attempt and put forward VideoComposer, which realizes the controllability of video in both time and space through combined generation paradigm.

In this study, the performance of VideoComposer is directly tested on nine different classic tasks, and satisfactory results are obtained, which proves the universality of VideoComposer.

Recommendation: Video generation with controllable time and space has come into reality, and the new work VideoComposer of Ali’s big model is on fire.

Paper 7: simple and controllable music generation

Authors: Jade Copet et al.

Paper link: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.05284.pdf

Abstract: At the beginning of the year, Google launched MusicLM, a big model of music generation, and the effect was very good. Some people say that this is more important than the ChatGPT of the fire, which almost solves the problem of music generation. Recently, Meta also launched its own text music generation model, MusicGen, which is free for non-commercial use.

Enter the first two sentences in the lyrics of Jay Chou’s "Qi Li Xiang" as follows: "The sparrow outside the window talks on the telephone pole, and you say this sentence is very summer-like" (in Chinese).

Recommendation: Meta open source text generates a big music model, and we tried it with the lyrics of Qilixiang.

I won’t die until I see my own engine.

  Never give up ambition


  Yang Zibin became a designer by diligent self-study as a workshop worker, so he was highly appreciated by Wu, and they also established a profound friendship. With the deepening of understanding, Yang Zibin admired Wu Daguan more and more. "Wu Lao only focused on one thing in his life, that is, designing and developing aero engines." Yang Zibin praised. Although, this way he walked twists and turns and how difficult-


  After graduating from the Aviation Department of Southwest Associated University in 1942, Wu Daguan got a job in Guizhou Dading Engine Factory opened by the Kuomintang, and was sent to the United States to study for three years. When he returned to China with great ambition to realize his dream of "saving the country by aviation", he hated the corruption and incompetence of the Kuomintang, and he resolutely chose to leave.


  The Communist Party of China (CPC), a young man who is interested in serving the motherland and an advanced political party representing the people, fell in love at first sight in Peiping before liberation in 1949. The latter ignited the hope in the former’s heart, and the former devoted himself to it.


  After the founding of New China, Wu Daguan organized and prepared the Aviation Industry Bureau as the director of the second production department. In 1956, he applied to be transferred from an institution to Shenyang Liming Aero-Engine Factory (hereinafter referred to as Liming Factory) and led the establishment of the first aero-engine design office in New China. In June 1958, the first jet trainer engine in China-Eruption 1A was successfully developed.


  At that time, China was poor, and everything needed to be done, so it was difficult to develop aero-engines. Wu Daguan led the scientific and technical personnel to cut through the thorns. At that time, the employees of Liming Factory often saw such a scene: Wu and his comrades were sitting on the grass and discussing issues enthusiastically. In August, 1961, the Engine Design Institute of Aviation Research Institute was established, with Wu Daguan as the deputy director, and the first engine test base in China’s aviation history was established …


  Wu Daguan said: "I will die unsatisfied if I can’t see the engine developed by our country." However, in the process of exploration and progress, he met unexpectedly during the ten-year Cultural Revolution. He was put in a bullpen, lost his freedom, and became blind in his left eye because of delayed treatment.


  However, Wu Daguan always believed: "The Cultural Revolution does not represent the party, and the line of the party’s’ science and technology power’ will not change." He sealed foreign technical magazines in red and kept on studying.


  At the end of 1977, shortly after the end of the Cultural Revolution, Wu Daguan was transferred to the position of deputy director of Xihang Airlines. "At the age of 62, he will be used at the age of 26." He led the scientific and technical personnel to master the advanced Spey engine technology in the world at that time and successfully developed the imitation. China’s aero-engine industry was about to turn a new page, but Wu Daguan was 66 years old at that time. In 1982, he was transferred to the Science and Technology Appointed Standing Committee of China Aviation Industry Corporation and retired to the second line.


  In Wu Daguan’s 40-year first-line aviation career, he organized and developed five aero engines, only one of which was assembled on the plane after being finalized, but it was not mass-produced; And these five engines are all made by imitating and improving foreign engines. This is far from his original ideal of independent research and development-some conditions are hard to change in an era, such as weak basic industries and shortage of professionals … But Wu Daguan never flinched and worked tirelessly.


  Today, China is one of the five countries in the world that can independently develop aero-engines, which is closely related to the persistence of Wu Daguan and many older generation scientists.


  Everything revolves around work.


  Liang Yan, Wu Daguan’s granddaughter, is a outspoken girl. In Liang Yan’s memory, the place where her grandfather played with her as a child was usually confined to his office. While Liang was playing, Wu buried himself in his work and sometimes looked up, instilling the concept of "aerodynamics" in her. Therefore, in the late autumn of 1982, my grandfather and her memory of flying kites in the rice fields outside the compound of the Science and Technology Commission was particularly precious and unforgettable.


  At that time, Liang Yan felt that she had been playing for a long time, but she was definitely not satisfied. Before going home, she asked her grandfather when she would take her out to fly a kite again. Wu replied, "When grandpa stops working." In the end, this became an empty talk-it was not until 22 years later that Wu Daguan, 88, officially retired. At this time, Liang is no longer a little girl who cares about flying kites, and Wu is too old to run any longer.


  In these 22 years, Wu Daguan worked almost every day. His daughter Wu Xiaoyun described her father’s simple life track every day: going to work at seven o’clock in the morning, returning to the office immediately after dinner, and not coming home until nine o’clock or ten o’clock. "He always feels that time is not enough, always works overtime, and works and studies in the office on Saturdays and Sundays."


  Wu Daguan has his own considerations. He wants to do his best for the development of aero-engines in China. Although he has retired to the second line, "many comrades in the front line of information may not have time to read it, so I’ll look at it and sort it out".


  "In the Science and Technology Commission, an advantage is that you can access a lot of information. After learning about the development of foreign engines, I feel more and more backward." Wu Daguan elaborated in his autobiography "My China Heart".


  In 1983, he asked the Ministry to compile the specifications of China aero-engines. At that time, this proposal was considered by the design and process department as "putting a condom on your neck". However, Wu Daguan believes that he will do whatever is conducive to the development of China’s aviation power. He personally served as the editor-in-chief of the editorial board, leading and organizing the translation of the general specification for engines published in the United States at that time-5007d. Based on this, it took four years to compile the General Specification for Turbojet and Turbofan Engines and the General Specification for Turboprop and Turboshaft Engines, which are suitable for China’s national conditions, and then they were approved as national military standards.


  "Now these two standards are still in use, which is the starting point for China’s aero-engine scientific research to move towards standardization. Later, engines such as Kunlun and Taihang, which made Chinese people proud, were developed on the basis of this specification. " Shi Yuanguang, former member of the Standing Committee of the Science and Technology Commission, commented.

Heavy! Hongqi Guoya is listed, and the top configuration challenges Mercedes-Benz Audi. Who will win?

This is not only a car, but also a redefinition of "luxury" and a symbol that China’s automobile industry once again shows its strength to the world. Today, we will discuss the story behind this new car and uncover its unknown secret.

From the moment it appeared, it was destined to be an ordinary car. The name of this car has a profound cultural connotation. The word "Guoya" conveys the high respect and inheritance of the national culture of the red flag, and also indicates that it will become a product representing the highest level of China automobile.

Hongqi Guoya is not only an ultra-luxury executive car, but also a declaration of "the return of the king". Hongqi brand has been a symbol of high-end cars in China since its birth, and this new car has pushed this status to a new height.

No matter from the body design, interior technology or dynamic performance, Hongqi Guoya is challenging the global luxury car market: we are not only known as the "national car", but also have the strength to compete with international first-line luxury brands.

This time, the red flag can be described as "full of heart" in design. Guoya provides 8 body colors and 3 kinds of two-color painting, which satisfies consumers’ ultimate pursuit of personalization.

Whether it is for business or private travel, every detail of Guoya shows luxury and dignity. You can choose the five-seat version or the four-seat version-even the most discerning customers can find their favorite choice in this car.

The craft and design of the interior make people feel like they are in an art palace. Every inch of leather and every detail have been carefully polished, showing the ultimate pursuit of quality by Hongqi.

Not only that, Hongqi Guoya is "stacking materials" to the extreme in configuration: intelligent four-wheel drive system, dual-cavity air suspension, rear wheel steering, and the world’s first flexible scroll screen, AR-HUD virtual reality head display and other cutting-edge technologies, which simply move the future automotive technology into real life.

Hongqi Guoya is not only gorgeous in appearance, but also powerful in core. The power system provides the choice of 3.0T and 4.0T hybrid electric power, and the maximum power reaches 290kW and 360kW respectively, which means that it not only has strong power output, but also gives consideration to economy and environmental protection. Compared with Mercedes-Benz S450L and Audi A8L of the same level, Hongqi Guoya’s performance is not inferior, even better in some aspects.

The meticulous carving of the red flag in the driving experience is even more exciting. Thanks to the advanced hybrid system, the vehicle starts quietly, but when it needs to explode, it can release strong power. This driving texture is not only the strong power output, but also the ultimate pursuit of driving comfort by Hongqi.

The listing of Hongqi Guoya is not only the launch of a new model, but also another sublimation of Hongqi brand strategy. The red flag is no longer just a symbol of "national car", but it is breaking the situation that "luxury cars are monopolized by foreign brands" with practical actions.

Guoya is clearly positioned as an ultra-luxury executive car this time, and plans to officially put into production in mid-2024, with an annual production capacity of 15,000 vehicles and a monthly sales volume of 1,200 vehicles. This figure is almost the same as the sales volume, which shows the market confidence of Hongqi in this car.

The appearance of Hongqi Guoya is undoubtedly a milestone victory for China automobile industry. It is not only a car, but also represents the confident rise of China automobile brands in the luxury car market. Through continuous innovation and breakthrough, Hongqi has changed from a simple symbol of "national car" to a global benchmark of China’s automobile industry.

Every time a new car is launched, Red Flag is proving to the world that China can not only build a good car, but also build a top luxury car. Hongqi Guoya is the best embodiment of this concept, which not only shows the technical strength and technological level of China’s own brands, but also conveys a sense of national pride.

As consumers, we can feel that Hongqi Guoya is not only providing us with a luxury car, but also standing tall for the China brand. No matter from the design, configuration, performance, or marketing strategy, this car reveals a high-end, atmospheric and upscale atmosphere. Through Guoya, Red Flag has proved to the world the power of China brand, and demonstrated our confidence and control over the future.

In the future, the arrival of Hongqi Guoya is bound to reshuffle the entire luxury car market. Perhaps, the next time you see the shiny logo on the highway, you will not only be amazed at its appearance, but also be proud of the "national strength" it represents.

Finally, what do you think when you see it here? Welcome to share your views on Hongqi Guoya in the comment area, and don’t forget to like, pay attention to and share, so that more people can feel this pride and strength!

Many people buy SUVs because of their stronger passability. The car is practical and fully equipped, and it is a good helper for home travel. If you think so, today’s car is still worth recommending.

Chopsticks Brothers’ new film, Funny and No Urine Point, opened the Film Channel Media Award.


    1905 movie network news
The latest masterpiece of Chopsticks Brothers (hereinafter referred to as "The Raptor Crossing the River") opened in the 2014 Film Channel Media Awards on June 16th. The film’s chief producer Ke Liming, Chopsticks Brothers Shawn and Wang Terry, and the heroine Qu Jingjing appeared to meet the audience. This is not only Shawn’s big-screen debut, but also the first time that "The Raptor Crossing the River" met the audience. In the process of watching the movie, the audience burst into laughter, laughing for 5 minutes and laughing for 3 minutes, and there was no urine spot in the whole film.

    This time, the Chopsticks Brothers broke through the scale in the film, not only making a big splash in Korean, but also having many martial arts action scenes, and also offering a large-scale passionate performance, fighting foreign girls in bed, which was amazing. At the audience meeting of the media awards that day, the Chopsticks Brothers also sang the film episode "Little Apple", which won the audience screaming again and again. It is reported that "The Raptors Crossing the River" will be released nationwide on July 10th.

    When it comes to directing a big-screen work for the first time, he was shortlisted for the film channel media award, and the founders expressed their great honor. Director Shawn said, "I am especially grateful to the Film Channel Media Awards for choosing this" Old Boy Raptors Crossing the River "as the opening film of the award." Qu Jingjing said frankly, "As a new actor, I am very eager to win the film channel media award, because it is a very professional award that also encourages newcomers." Ke Liming, the chief producer of "The Raptor Crossing the River", also expressed his gratitude for the media award, and admitted that the Chopsticks Brothers were sincere. "After the micro-film" old boys "was on fire, the Chopsticks Brothers were able to refuse the temptation, and it took them five years to make this film, and they did it themselves, directed and performed it themselves." The Raptor Crossing the River "is a sincere work."

Chopsticks brothers are decorated with two corners, hilarious and arrogant, showing Korean kung fu and spitting stones.

    "The Raptor Crossing the River" is the first big-screen work shot by Chopsticks Brothers after the popular micro-film old boys. This film continues the hilarious style of old boys, and this time it is upgraded in an all-round way, incorporating a variety of commercial elements such as hilarious, emotional, action, bed play and so on. It is reported that the film tells the story of brothers Xiao Dabao and Wang Xiaoshuai, who turned against each other because of their beauty. After many years, they went to the United States to pursue their musical dreams by coincidence, and they ended up in a mafia assassination.

    This time, the chopsticks brothers are divided into two corners. On the one hand, they are lonely diaosi who love music, and on the other hand, they have to play the "White Tiger Brothers", a Korean killer Ouba group with the same appearance. In the film, the two men were extremely hilarious, boasting more Korean and showing off their kung fu. Wang Terry even performed the magic of spitting stones, which made the audience laugh. Although the plot of the whole film is spoof, it is very Internet-oriented, but there is really no urine point.

    Speaking of these two roles, Shawn admits that his favorite is to play the Korean brother. "When I wrote the script, I thought this role was particularly interesting. For this reason, we also studied Korean and martial arts for a long time, especially the martial arts drama was very enjoyable and basically useless." Wang Terry revealed that he was actually a practitioner, and as a result, Shawn was bleeding. "I have a martial arts foundation. When I was a child, I liked to practice my own tricks, so I had an advantage. In the end, I beat Shawn with blood all over my legs. What a relief!" Shawn said gloomily, "We used a real wooden stick, and then Lao Wang (Wang Terry) hit me on the back with a stick, and once hit me on the head bone, which made me fall to the ground with pain. Originally, my facial expression should be as if nothing had happened, but I really couldn’t fit it, and my face was distorted."

Music diversity is still very bright. Little Apple and Raptors Crossing the River are expected to be popular again.

    This movie music is still a highlight of Chopsticks Brothers’ new film, and songs such as Little Apple, I Want to Go to new york and Raptors Crossing the River are expected to be popular again. However, unlike the micro-movie old boys, the songs in the movie Raptors Crossing the River are more diversified, not only with tearful nostalgia, but also with many styles such as nonsense and positive energy.

    In particular, the song "Little Apple", which has been exposed on the Internet before the film, is said to have become a must-have for aunt’s square dance. In this regard, Wang Terry said with a smile, "I wrote songs such as old boys and Father before, but I always made others cry. Even a fan cried when she saw me before. In fact, Shawn and I are usually very humorous, so in "The Raptors Crossing the River", we want to write a song that makes everyone forget their troubles and can sing and jump. " Chief producer Ke Liming also broke the news, "For the song" Little Apple ",Chopsticks Brothers and I specially found Uncle Bird’s choreographer team to choreograph the song. Now this song is also very popular in Korea, and we have received many invitations from Korean TV stations. It can be said that this time we successfully attacked South Korea!"

Wang Terry’s rich life is not shallow, and Shawn, a foreign girl, admits that she has no experience in erotic drama with Qu Jingjing.

    In "Crossing the River", the Chopsticks Brothers not only flaunted Korean, but also showed off English, among which the number of English lines was even equal to that of Chinese lines, which made people see the "internationalization" of the Chopsticks Brothers. The film also rushed out of China and entered the United States. More than 70% of the scenes were shot in new york. Chopsticks brothers this time is also a lot of happiness, Shawn and the beauty Qu Jingjing have kissed many times, and Wang Terry will fight foreign girls in bed, which is amazing.

    Speaking of the many passionate kisses and erotic scenes with the heroine Qu Jingjing, Shawn admits that she really has no experience. "Many people ask me, which is more difficult, playing drama or having sex? It must be a sex scene, because I have no idea where to make the effort! " In the face of Shawn’s remarks, Qu Jingjing laughed and said that he couldn’t take it anymore. "In short, we are both very involved in emotional drama!"

    Qu Jingjing, who graduated from Chinese opera, is the absolute heroine in the film. She plays a material woman in this film, which not only destroys the friendship between the chopsticks brothers, but also gives up the love between Bai Fumei and the male diaosi because of pursuing her dream. However, Qu Jingjing continued to defend the role that day. "In fact, the character I played is very real, which is the epitome of city girl. Now girls are under great pressure and are willing to work hard to pursue their dreams, so I can understand the decision of this role, but in real life, I won’t do it myself."

At least 19 models! European and American car companies modular platform new car planning

  [Autohome News] We often say that the Golf and Audi A3 are products of the same platform. Do you know that the currently very popular Escape and New Focus are also produced on the same platform. With the development of the automotive industry, overseas automakers, especiallyEuropean and American car companiesModular and platform-based production and research and development are being continuously promoted. At the same time, as the cooperation between car companies becomes closer, more and more manufacturers are beginning to share platforms to build new cars. Platformization and modularization have become a very popular concept at present. In addition to the Volkswagen MQB platform that everyone is already familiar with, major automakers will build new cars based on UKL, MRA, SPA, EMP2, and D2XX in the future. So which manufacturers do these new platforms belong to and what products will be launched? Let’s take a look together today. (Note: The models involved in this article are not all platform products, but only some representative products are selected.)

The launch of many low-cost entry-level front-drive models will also play an important role in BMW’s sales growth in the future. Judging from BMW’s tradition of pursuing sports, the editor believes that these front-drive models will continue to be BMW’s sporty characteristics under BMW’s adjustment in the future, and everyone should not worry.


Volvo: SPA Platform – New Generation XC90

  After leaving Ford, Volvo needs to stand on its own in terms of technology. Volvo will use a new platform to create new products in the future. According to our review, there are two main platforms in the future, namely the SPA platform (Scalable Platform Architecture) and the new mid-size car platform developed together with Geely. Since 2011, Volvo has announced a strategic investment plan totaling 11 billion US dollars. The development of the SPA platform and the VEA powertrain is the most important part of it.

  Peter Mertens, senior vice-president of research and development at Volvo Group, said: "The SPA platform will account for two-thirds of Volvo’s total product sales, and about 40% of the components will be common to all models." In line with the current trend of fewer cylinders and smaller displacements, VEA’s new direct injection gasoline and diesel engines will become the main powertrain of Volvo in the future. The 3- and 4-cylinder engine families will become the core of Volvo’s future powertrain, while the existing 5- and 6-cylinder engine assemblies may be phased out.

   Summary:It is worth mentioning that with the launch of Mercedes-Benz’s modular strategy, Mercedes-Benz has accordingly developed an engine suitable for the two modular platforms of MFA and MRA – the M270, which is divided into 1.6T and 2.0T displacements.

Autohome

  This engine is mounted vertically on the MRA platform, matched with a 7G-tronic gearbox; in the MFA platform, it is matched with a 7G-DCT dual-clutch gearbox. One engine can be applied to both horizontal and vertical platforms, which is the embodiment of Mercedes-Benz’s modular strategy. 

Conclusion: Modular platformization = short-term large investment, long-term high returns

  At present, car companies are vigorously promoting platform-based production and research and development, and there are many new products. We have only selected 19 representative products for you to see above. After reading today’s article, you may find that why are so many manufacturers promoting platform-based production? In fact, in simple terms, platform-based production can achieve long-term high-profit growth through short-term investment.

  For reference, Volkswagen’s modular horizontal module platform MQB platform released in 2012 cost nearly $70 billion to build (Morgan Stanley valuation), and is expected to save $19 billion per year by 2019, with a project gross profit of nearly 10%. Such high profits are also an important reason why the majority of manufacturers are promoting the development of this technology. But in any case, we still support the arrival of modular production, because after all, we can choose more and better products. (Compiler/Autohome Wang Yin)

Judging from the wind direction of domestic auto shows in recent years, the former wheel circle feast has now turned into a traffic repair field, and a number of wheel circle bosses have turned into auto show street runners, starting to punch cards with their lives, and even the leader in red has become a car model … All kinds of wheel circle operations are dizzying, and all this is just for the sake of traffic.

At present, the layout of the exhibition hall of the 2024 Guangzhou Auto Show has been released, so from the perspective of traffic, which exhibition hall will be the most lively? Which is the most deserted? Let’s take a closer look at it.

According to the official information, the Guangzhou Auto Show is planned to use Zone A and Zone D of Guangjiao Club and the outdoor exhibition areas of the two zones, with an exhibition scale of 220,000 square meters. The exhibition scale reached a record high, with 78 first-time cars in the world, including 6 first-time cars from cross-border companies and 1,171 exhibition cars, including 512 new energy vehicles.

Let’s start with area a. The main attractions of Hall 1.1 on the 1st floor of Area A are undoubtedly Geely Galaxy and Volkswagen Group, among which Geely Galaxy will appear on Galaxy Starship 7 at this auto show, which just opened for pre-sale not long ago. At present, there are five models available, and the price for first-aid is 109,800 ~ 142,800 yuan. It is worth noting that Galaxy Starship 7 is the world’s first generation of Raytheon electric hybrid system, with the highest thermal efficiency engine mass-produced in the world, with a thermal efficiency of 46.5%, and the lowest fuel consumption of 3.75 liters per 100 kilometers in its class, with a comprehensive cruising range of 1,420 kilometers. The Volkswagen Group booth is a collection of Volkswagen Anhui, FAW-Volkswagen, Volkswagen imported cars and SAIC Volkswagen, and its family lineup is huge. However, there are not many new models released by Volkswagen at this auto show, and the most interesting probability is the new Volkswagen Golf Family.

Hall 2.1 on the first floor of Zone A is the most crowded hall at this Guangzhou Auto Show, because BYD brand has once again achieved the achievement of pavilion package. There are four major brand exhibition areas in the museum: BYD, Looking Up, Equation Leopard and Looking Up. From low to high, it easily covers tens of thousands to millions, and provides sports cars, hard-core off-road vehicles and other models to meet the needs of consumers at all levels. At the same time, looking up to U7, Tengshi N9, BYD Summer and other new models will also be unveiled at this auto show. In addition, BYD also has an intelligent display area of BYD vehicles, a brand area of BYD and an extreme technical experience area of BYD in the exhibition hall, which will ensure that you have fun and enjoy yourself.

The more interesting brands in Hall 3.1 on the first floor of Zone A are FAW Audi and FAW Hongqi. The former will launch the brand-new Audi A5, which is the renamed and upgraded Audi A4L. The latter will also bring a variety of products at the auto show, including sunflower Guoya. The representative brands of Hall 4.1 and Hall 5.1 on the first floor of Area A mainly include Great Wall, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Among them, the Great Wall will launch or market a new generation of Haval H7, tank 500Hi4-Z, etc., and BMW will bring a variety of new models and special edition cars, such as the new M5, M235L coupe and the new BMW X3. Mercedes-Benz’s lineup is also very strong, with 29 participating models, including all-electric G-class off-road vehicles and new all-electric EQE and other heavyweight models.

Hall 1.2, 2nd floor, Zone A, is an old and powerful area, including Buick, Volvo, FAW Toyota, Lexus and other players, but not many new models have been released. Hall 2.2 on the second floor of Zone A is the Guangzhou Automobile Department’s charter. At present, the decline of Guangzhou Automobile Department is no longer a secret. Both market sales and brand awareness have begun to decline, and there is a high probability that it will not be too hot, but after all, it is in its own base camp, which has the advantage of home court. Maybe there will be many local seniors to join in.

The layout of Hall 3.2 on the second floor of Area A is very interesting. Aouita, Changan Automobile, Deep Blue Automobile, FAW Pentium, Wuling Automobile and Baojun Automobile have achieved the encirclement of Dongfeng Nissan. Hall 4.2 on the 2nd floor of Area A is owned by gallants, and Chery Department is VS SAIC+Dongfeng Department. Although it is 1 to 2, Chery has a high probability of crushing the last two. Hall 5.2 on the second floor of Area A is more interesting to see, such as Dongfeng Honda and Kia. Most of the others are ultra-luxury brands. It is really good to see the ultra-luxury models while watching the family car.

There are only four passenger car exhibition halls in Zone D, but it also includes an automobile industry chain and automobile culture exhibition hall and a commercial vehicle exhibition hall. Hall 17.2, on the second floor of Zone D, which just came up, is where the heavyweight, Le Dao, Xiaomi, Wen Jie and other experts who play traffic gather together. I think it’s necessary to see the red with a bayonet. In addition, Tucki and Warrior, two "popular young people", have a high probability of traffic. Changan Mazda is really out of place in this exhibition hall, but the good news is that it can also rub other people’s traffic.

Hall 18.2, 2nd floor, Zone D is more interesting in HarmonyOS Zhixing and Ideals, among which four brands of HarmonyOS Zhixing will gather together, and the new version of Zhijie S7 and Zhijie R7 extended edition will also be released. Ideally, there are no new cars in the near future, and the L series players are expected to participate in the exhibition. After all, pure electric SUVs will have to wait until next year. In Hall 19.2 on the second floor of Zone D, there are new power players such as Wei Lai, Zero Run and Nezha, as well as familiar players such as Shangjiao Di and Lingke. Among them, the new SUV Zero Run B10 will make its debut at this auto show. The car is provided with AI chips and lidar, and the price range is 100,000 ~ 150,000 yuan. SAIC Audi will release its own pure electric concept car, which will no longer use Audi’s four-ring logo, but use Audi’s English logo. In Hall 20.2, 2nd floor, Zone D, there are players such as Zhi Ji, Ji Krypton, Ji Yue and smart, each of which has a lot of traffic, but there are not many new cars that will be launched or listed, and the most interesting one is smart Elf #5.

Che Shu concluded

As the most important auto show at the end of 2024, at this Guangzhou auto show, all auto companies have tried their best to get consumers’ attention. Generally speaking, the new models that are more interesting at this year’s auto show are mainly new energy vehicles, among which there are many models with heavy new technologies for the first time. If you have time and energy, I suggest you go to the auto show in person to see the new changes of our own brand in recent years!
