ShanghaiApril 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On April 24, the 2026 Beijing Auto Show grandly opened, with over 2,000 Chinese and foreign enterprises jointly interpreting the theme “Leading the Era • Shaping the Future with Intelligence.” Black Sesame Technologies (Booth E108) showcased its full range of products and all-scenario solutions, along with fruitful results from collaborative innovation across the industry chain, clearly presenting a comprehensive, multi-dimensional strategic layout for computing power chips.
Ecosystem Partners Witness “Chips Connect Everything, Intelligence Empowers All Domains”
On the opening day, Black Sesame Technologies held a press conference, sharing industry insights and the latest progress in collaborative innovation with ecosystem partners. In the era of Physical AI, VLA evolves in tandem with world models. Black Sesame Technologies’ Huashan A2000 family is the next-generation high-performance computing chip platform specifically designed for Physical AI, with four family members—A2000N, A2000L, A2000U, and A2000X—catering to different levels of intelligent driving requirements. Meanwhile, the core IP empowering the Black Sesame chip family—the NPU—continues to evolve, with the next generation targeting real-time generative reasoning and world model closed loops. As intelligent driving applications drive the advent of the end-side reasoning era, Black Sesame Technologies integrates its two major chip product portfolios, the Huashan series and the Wudang series, to build a broader end-side AI reasoning chip platform matrix. The next-generation chip family is expected to achieve computing power exceeding 2500 TOPS.
At the press conference, Black Sesame Technologies’ Founder and CEO, Shan Jizhang, officially introduced the FAD Tianyan, Black Sesame Technologies’ L3 autonomous driving platform built on the FAD 2.0 open platform. This platform is equipped with the Huashan A2000U chip and is pre-configured to meet L3 national mandatory standards, empowering industry partners to deploy L3 autonomous driving for mass production.
This exhibition also marked a gathering of Black Sesame Technologies with its industry chain partners. During the press conference, Black Sesame Technologies’ Vice President of Sales, Gao Wei, and Dongfeng Motor Corporation R&D Institute’s Chief Engineer of Intelligent Technology, Feng Chao, jointly introduced the first localized mass-produced cockpit-domain integrated platform, the Dongfeng Tianyuan Smart Cockpit Plus. This platform is powered by the Wudang C1296 chip, featuring 3D immersive interaction, AI intelligent interaction, full-scenario connectivity, and hardware advantages. Additionally, Black Sesame Technologies and Ruqi Mobility announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the large-scale commercial deployment of Robotaxis and promote the development of a localized high-performance L4 autonomous driving ecosystem. Black Sesame Technologies’ Chief Marketing Officer, Yang Yuxin, and Ruqi Mobility’s Chief Operating Officer, Han Feng, signed the agreement on behalf of both parties.
Huashan A2000 Family: The Computing Power Foundation Designed for Physical AI
The Huashan series chips were a major highlight of the booth, with the Huashan A2000 family drawing particular attention. This family is the next-generation high-performance computing chip platform specifically designed for Physical AI, with single-chip computing power reaching up to 1000 TOPS. It supports multi-chip collaboration, covering all-scenario needs such as cockpit agents, urban NOA, L3 autonomous driving, and L4 Robotaxis. The FAD Tianyan L3 autonomous driving platform, equipped with dual A2000U chips, along with self-developed end-to-end algorithms and live demonstrations of mainstream large models running on A2000 boards, attracted many visitors.
Wudang C1200 Family: The First Localized Mass-Produced Milestone in Cockpit-Domain Integration
The Wudang C1200 family, the first localized mass-produced cockpit-domain integrated product, also drew significant attention. A single chip simultaneously supports two core functions: intelligent cockpit and intelligent driving. The C1296 cockpit-domain integrated domain controller and its mass-production solution—the Dongfeng Tianyuan Smart Cockpit Plus platform—showcased on-site, exemplify Black Sesame Technologies’ open collaboration with industry chain partners. This platform fully supports large models and voice interaction, L2+ intelligent driving, and FAPA parking, making it a benchmark solution for cockpit-domain integration in the industry, and it will be successively deployed in multiple mass-production vehicle models.
Black Sesame Technologies’ Lobster Family: Achieving Human-Like Natural Dialogue for Full Navigation Interaction
Black Sesame Technologies’ Lobster family also made its debut at the Beijing Auto Show. It features industry-leading UI-agent (Computer Use) core capabilities and cross-turn contextual intent automatic capture capabilities, breaking the limitations of traditional in-vehicle voice systems that require precise commands. It can recognize complex/multi-intent ambiguous commands, enabling human-like natural dialogue for full navigation interaction. The UI-agent (Computer Use) simulates manual click-and-touch operations on the GUI interface, allowing the system to mimic user manual clicks and touch controls. In the future, it can perform more complex and flexible tasks through the operation interface.
“Full-Scenario, Full-Coverage” Product Matrix Drives Intelligence Popularization
Currently, Black Sesame Technologies has formed a complete business structure driven by three pillars: “Intelligent Vehicles + Embodied Intelligence + General AI.” The SesameX embodied intelligence platform demonstration area, featuring Kalos and Aura robot development kits along with related terminal products, further clarifies Black Sesame Technologies’ business landscape.
Black Sesame Technologies consistently adheres to the core principles of openness, collaboration, and mutual benefit, working with ecosystem partners on collaborative innovation. From the FAW Hongqi parking controller and Shaanxi Automobile Light Truck domain controller, to the Qianwen VLM large model, and further to the Deep Robotics Jueying X30 quadruped robot and Lenovo hexapod robot, these innovations displayed across different core areas collectively paint a vision of the future in the intelligent era.
With automotive-grade AI computing power at its core, Black Sesame Technologies has built a “full-scenario, full-coverage” product matrix. “Starting with vehicles, but not limited to vehicles” vividly describes this path of commercial development. Standing at the first year of large-scale deployment of end-side reasoning AI products, Black Sesame Technologies will leverage more powerful, safer, more efficient, and easier-to-mass-produce technologies, using open collaboration as a fulcrum to continuously provide core technological support for industrial upgrading and propel the end-side AI industry into a new phase.
