Mercedes and Liquid AI partner to add on‑device voice AI to select models
Mercedes‑Benz announced a multi‑year partnership with Liquid AI on April 23, 2026 to embed on‑device language and speech models into MBUX for North America.
The collaboration aims to deliver faster, private voice control and contextual reasoning without continuous cloud dependence.
Who is involved: Mercedes‑Benz Group AG and Liquid AI, with comments from Mercedes CTO Jörg Burzer and Liquid AI CEO Ramin Hasani in company materials and Business Wire coverage.
The compatibility list explicitly names future and current model families, including MY27 GLE/GLS and AMG EA GT variants.
Why it matters: on‑device AI reduces latency and improves privacy, enabling richer, more reliable voice interactions and over‑the‑air feature rollouts.
The move sets a path to initial production deployment in the second half of 2026 and could change how owners receive software upgrades, dealer servicing and in‑car feature economics.
