Li Auto is recruiting talents related to chips and training clusters in Hong Kong, requiring candidates to understand the chip industry's design technology, advanced processes, and have the ability to complete chip industry research, project research and investment, the report noted.
據報道，理想汽車正在香港招聘與芯片相關的人才和培訓集群，要求候選人了解芯片行業的設計技術、先進工藝，並具備完成芯片行業研究、項目研究和投資的能力。
The company is developing two chips in-house, an AI chip for smart driving, and a SiC power chip for motor controllers, according to LatePost.
據LatePost報道，該公司正在自主開發兩款芯片，一款用於智能駕駛的ai芯片，另一款是用於電機控制器的SiC功率芯片。
The AI chip uses an architecture similar to Tesla's (NASDAQ: TSLA) Hardware 5.0, with about 40 billion transistors, and has been sent to TSMC for tape-out, the report said.
報道稱，AI芯片採用類似於特斯拉（納斯達克：TSLA）硬件5.0的架構，約有400億個晶體管，並已經被送到TSMC進行tape-out。
The smart-driving chip is expected to see tape-out results in the fourth quarter and begin being loaded into cars in 2026, according to LatePost.
根據LatePost的報道，智能駕駛芯片預計將在第四季度看到投片結果，並於2026年開始加載進汽車。
Tape-out is a technical term in the field of integrated circuit design that refers to the process of transforming a circuit design into a chip that can be produced on an assembly line after the chip design has been completed.
投片是集成電路設計領域的技術術語，指的是在芯片設計完成後，將電路設計轉化爲可在裝配線上生產的芯片的過程。
After successful tape-out, a prototype chip can begin mass production if it passes subsequent testing.
成功投片後，如果通過後續測試，原型芯片就可以開始批量生產。
Nio (NYSE: NIO) unveiled the Shenji NX9031 at Nio Day 2023, held on December 23, 2023, which will be used in the ET9, with deliveries of the sedan set to begin in the first quarter of 2025.
