Honored to be invited to World Trade and Tech Day at the World Trade Organization (WTO) headquarters in Geneva yesterday, where I also had the opportunity to deliver a keynote speech. And there was a pretty special coincidence: the hall where I spoke was the very place where the final negotiations for China's accession to the WTO took place. Held under the theme "AI and Trade: Turning Potential into Progress," this year's event brought together representatives from international organizations, governments, and industries around the world to explore the opportunities and challenges for global trade in the AI era. This was also the backdrop for my speech. With AI developing at incredible speed, the automotive industry is right at the forefront of this AI wave. As electrification, smart technologies, and AI come together, smart EVs have already become the most widely used physical AI agents today. And that means no automaker will lead the future without leading in AI. One of the clearest examples is autonomous driving. It brings together AI, software, hardware, and the car itself. Ten years ago, NIO set a goal for autonomous driving: to relieve stress and reduce accidents. Today, NIO's smart driving system, built on an architecture that combines a world model with full closed-loop reinforcement learning, has already been deployed in more than 950,000 vehicles. So far, NIO's smart driving system has accumulated more than 7.7 billion kilometers and 98 million hours of driving, helping to mitigate or avoid 8.35 million potential accidents for our users. Our internal data also shows that the average safe mileage of human-AI co-driving is 8 times that of human-only driving. Across the globe, traffic safety is still a critical social issue. In 2025, around 1.16 million people lost their lives in road accidents around the world. And every day, more than 1 billion people spend roughly 70 minutes on average commuting by road. These numbers remind us that safer and smarter mobility is not just a technology issue. It is a social issue. If technologies like smart driving can be made trustworthy and widely used, they can make driving less stressful, help prevent accidents, and improve everyday mobility for billions of people. The potential impact goes far beyond the car itself. For such technologies to benefit more people, technological progress must go hand in hand with global coordination. With varied regulations, data requirements, safety standards, and market access rules across countries and regions, we need to enhance international dialogue, foster greater consistency in testing methodologies, and advance mutual recognition of test results, allowing innovation to move more freely without compromising safety. The right rules do not have to slow innovation down. They can build trust, support innovation, and allow technology, talent, and trade to create greater value across borders. It was a real pleasure to exchange ideas with peers and policymakers from around the world on some of the new questions AI is bringing to the table. I came away with plenty of new thoughts. I'm grateful to WTO Director-General Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala for the invitation. I hope we can keep the dialogue going, find more common ground, and develop more workable rules under the WTO framework. Ultimately, this can create new opportunities for global trade, and contribute to a sustainable and brighter future together. Let's Power Up! Let's Jiadian!⚡ #NIO #BlueSkyComing #WTO #AI #SmartEV

Lately, I've been seeing a lot of people having fun with the custom light show on the NIO ES8 and ES9. In just 20 days after launch, users created more than 200,000 designs. What's interesting is the story behind it. Jenny, who led the development of this feature, only graduated from grad school this year. She took on the project during her internship. A few days ago, I tried it myself on the ES8, writing a few personalized greetings for users. Jenny was sitting right next to me that day. She's actually been involved in the lighting experience across three NIO models: the first light show feature on the ET9, the welcome lighting effects on the ES8, and now the custom light show on the ES8 and ES9. It may look like a simple feature: write something, and the car projects it with its headlights. But one small detail took Jenny and the team four or five months to get right: handwritten lines are naturally a little uneven, but when projected through the headlights, they don't always look the way you expect. Jenny got the idea from something she does in her everyday work. When she uses a mouse or trackpad to annotate a shared screen during meetings, the system automatically smooths out her strokes. So she worked with the algorithm and development teams to bring the same idea to the light show. The tricky part was finding the right balance. Too much smoothing, and it stops feeling handwritten. Too little, and you can't really see the difference. After months of testing and adjusting, they developed a "five-level AI stroke optimization algorithm." There was another challenge: you really need darkness to see whether the lighting looks right. So quite often, when everyone else was heading home, Jenny and the team were just getting started. They even found a testing spot with a pretty memorable name: "Yemaodong," or "Wildcat Cave" in English. No streetlights, hardly anyone around, and just enough real-world conditions to see what the lights actually looked like. They'd drive there at night, test, adjust, and test again. That's what NIOers do — we keep pushing on the little details to make the experience better for our users. Let's Power Up! Let's Jiadian!⚡ #NIO #NIOES9 #NIOES8 #BlueSkyComing

firefly's multiverse | frame unit✨ Welcome to episode 27 of firefly's multiverse. Today's pick: frame unit, a firefly customized by our user KennyLo. KennyLo has a background in film and TV production. During his years in the UK, he picked up all kinds of little details that later became part of his creative inspiration. Once he got his own firefly, he finally had a chance to bring those scattered ideas to life. I really like how he brought so many different things together: vintage broadcast van graphics, Bauhaus geometry, retro-futuristic TVA tones, and the color palette of London Underground posters. Now his little commuter car is also a mobile studio, bringing his memories of the UK and his love for film and TV along for the ride. From day one, firefly was never meant to be just a way to get from A to B. It's a canvas for users to express their unique ideas and tell their own stories. So far, we've received 51,000+ user ideas, and I'll keep sharing some of the most inspiring ones here. Freedom to glow!✨ Let's Power Up!

This morning at Chengdu Motor Show, we delivered the 140,000th NIO ES8, just 335 days after the very first one. Another record for the premium BEV segment in China. It also brought me back to this day last year. I had just finished my battery swap journey to Mt. Qomolangma, and witnessed the completion of the G318 battery swap route at Qomolangma Base Camp. Right after that, we held the ES8 Product & Tech Launch in Chengdu. Back then, we made a call: ES8 would lead large SUVs into the BEV era. To be honest, there were plenty of doubts at the time. Would recharging be convenient enough for a large electric SUV? Could range anxiety really be solved? Would users be willing to choose a BEV? Those were questions only time and the market could answer. A year later, the answer is becoming much clearer. Led by models like ES8, ES9 and ONVO L90, large electric three-row SUVs have ranked first among all powertrains in China for six consecutive months. BEV penetration in the overall large SUV segment reached 41.6% in July. The market data shows that the golden era for large three-row EVs is here. The shift is reaching large five-seat SUVs, too. With models like the five-seat ES8 and ONVO L80, BEV penetration in this segment reached 28.2% in July, nearly 17 times the level at the beginning of 2025. In addition to NIO ES9, ES8, ONVO L90, L80, there are now many excellent large electric SUVs in the market. Together, they are pushing the entire segment into the BEV era. In July, the BEV penetration in the large SUV segment reached 41.6%. But changes in the auto industry never happened overnight. Since NIO was founded, we've stayed committed to forward development and continued to invest in BEV technology, and battery swapping and charging infrastructure. We've faced many challenges and taken some detours along the way, but we've never wavered in our commitment to this technology path. When the first ES8 Founder Edition launched in 2017, BEVs accounted for just 1.81％ of passenger-car sales in China. In July this year, that number reached 44.3％. From pioneer to leader, ES8 is the world's first smart EV to go through three generations. It pioneered the large three-row electric SUV segment and continues to be an innovation leader in smart EV technology and experience. But what makes ES8 special to me is not just the numbers or the technology. It's the people who choose it. They are a group of innovation leaders with ideas, taste and ambition. They care about their work, their families and the people around them, while always looking for a better life. To them, ES8 is more than a car. It's a partner for business, for family, and for themselves. Thank you for everyone's trust and support. We'll keep pushing forward. The era of large electric SUVs is here. Let's Power Up!

firefly's multiverse | forest motion✨ Welcome to episode 26 of firefly's multiverse. Today's pick: forest motion, created by LIMSON from Taizhou, Zhejiang. After his Rothmans-inspired firefly went viral, he's kept exploring what's possible with a small car. This time, he came up with something completely different. The car pairs Eucalyptus Blue with Brooklyn Gray, with flowing diagonal stripes that mimic the light and shadows you'd see in a forest. This also helps give the car a more balanced look. The overall design keeps things simple, with no unnecessary details. Clean, timeless, and very much his own. From day one, firefly was never meant to be just a way to get from A to B. It's a canvas for users to express their unique ideas and tell their own stories. So far, we've received 51,000+ user ideas, and I'll keep sharing some of the most inspiring ones here.

firefly's multiverse | geometric silhouette✨ Welcome to episode 25 of firefly's multiverse. Today's pick: geometric silhouette, a sci-fi-inspired firefly created by Bienaqing, a custom car builder from Guangdong. He's always believed that great customization is about structure, not adding more parts. To him, the best custom builds aren't about piling on body kits, but about using lines to give a car its own character. With geometric cuts as the core idea, Bienaqing built on firefly's original flowing lines and added his own personality, giving the car a more distinctive look. The clean, sharp lines create a real sense of motion even when the car is standing still, while the lightweight white five-spoke wheels blend naturally with the body color, preserving the integrity of the geometric design. For him, what makes firefly so much fun is the freedom to reshape it through your own aesthetic. This geometric silhouette is a perfect reflection of his minimalist approach to customization: sharp lines, understated sophistication, and a simple design that shows how less can be more. From day one, firefly was never meant to be just a way to get from A to B. It's a canvas for users to express their unique ideas and tell their own stories. So far, we've received 51,000+ user ideas, and I'll keep sharing some of the most inspiring ones here. Freedom to glow!✨ Let's Power Up!
