Banma AutoOmni 2.0-23B-A3B: on-device omni-modal model for cars
Banma Intelligence's 23B on-device omni-modal MoE model unveiled at Apsara Conference, matching 230B-parameter cloud models on routine cockpit tasks and running 8+ concurrent task streams on automotive SoCs.
Why it matters
Brings frontier-class in-cabin AI fully on-device (5-6x faster inference, privacy-by-design); demoed on IM Motors LS6 with voice/navigation/vehicle-control orchestration.
What you could build with it
A Tier-1 auto supplier could build an offline-capable in-cabin assistant that orchestrates voice, navigation, and vehicle controls on the car's SoC with no cloud round-trip.
Does it hold up?
Too early to judge - unveiled at Apsara Conference; demoed on IM Motors LS6 but no independent road tests yet.
