Kunlun Architecture is Xiaomi Auto's 'IR Intermediate Representation,' but integration is key

At Xiaomi's first auto tech launch event in December 2023, Lei Jun said they were building a "dream car comparable to Porsche and Tesla." Now, seven months later, SU7 and YU7 cumulative deliveries have hit over 700k units, and they've thrown out a "Kunlun Tech Architecture." Honestly, those numbers are fierce—zero to 700k in three and a half years is terrifying speed for any new EV maker. But what interests me more is the architecture itself.
