NIO's Chip Subsidiary Shiji Unveils Multi-Scenario AI Chip Platform and Embodied Intelligence Development Solutions at WAIC

The 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference opened on July 17, marking the first time that Anhui Shenji Technology Co., Ltd. participated as an independent exhibitor. A chip subsidiary of NIO, Shenji was established in June 2025 and has secured nearly RMB 3 billion in funding. The company positions itself as a full-stack, full-scenario chip provider covering autonomous driving, embodied intelligence, and Agent inference. At the exhibition, Shenji unveiled its Shenji NX9031 chip and vehicle-domain controller, and launched the "Ruidong" Embodied Intelligence Development Platform and a Distributed Agent Platform. Its current product lineup includes multiple chip variants—NX9031X, NX9031U, and NX9031C—each tailored for three major AI application areas: intelligent driver assistance, embodied intelligence, and Agent inference. Notably, the high-end NX9031X has already been deployed across all vehicle models of NIO and its Onvo brand, with cumulative shipments exceeding 300,000 units. Built on a 5nm automotive-grade process, the NX9031 series delivers high computing power and has undergone extensive mass-production validation. The "Ruidong" platform, powered by the mid-range NX9031U chip, supports complex models for robotic perception and autonomous planning. Shenji plans to extend its expertise in vehicle perception, real-time control, and functional safety—accumulated through intelligent driver assistance systems—to emerging AI scenarios such as humanoid robots, autonomous logistics vehicles, and high-compute terminals.
