As the Internet of Vehicles market rapidly expands, we are committed to meeting the rising demand for audio services in driving scenarios. Empowered by Horizon Robotics' AI chip technology and LIZHI's advanced audio technology, we hope to be able to provide more personalized and scenario-specific audio services. We have launched a new podcast application last month, LIZHI PODCAST (also named LIZHI BOKE in Chinese), which features curated content drawn from LIZHI's extensive content library as well as exclusive and original podcasts created by influencers from all walks of life. Under our collaboration with Horizon Robotics, LIZHI may be able to further optimize in-car audio experiences and bring premium content from our LIZHI PODCAST to a wider user base."
