Beijing – Chinese companies knock Deepseek’s latest artificial intelligence model to see how he can improve productivity.
The Chinese model AI -A has taken away the world with storms in recent weeks after showing his explanation procedure and claims to be undervalued by the rival Open and Chatgpt on costs -despite the US limitations of Chinese approach to advanced semiconductors needed to develop the technology.
Eight car manufacturers including BydAt least nine financial securities companies, Three state -owned telecommunications operators and a brand of smartphones Honor are among many who have rushed in the last week to integrate with Deepsek. Computing operators in the cloud of Alibaba, Huawei, Tencent and Baid offered clients to approach Deepseek’s latest model.
“This is pretty unprecedented,” said Wei Sun, the main analyst of artificial intelligence at Counterpoint Research, on Monday UE -Poruci. It pointed to the adoption rate, the scale of business integration and the width of certain industries covered.
“When we have all this, we know that it makes a great social and economic impact,” she said.
Optimism over artificial intelligence has spread to Chinese supplies. UBS said on Wednesday that the Chinese shares were linked to 15% from the beginning of the year, surpassing the wider MSCI China index by 9%.
A big factor in wide interest is the weather. Deepseek published his latest R1 model on January 20, and news of his cheap disperers encouraged a a Global Tech Stock Sale 27. January – as much as Millions of urban workers in China returned to their hometowns celebrate the eight -day lunar New Year’s holiday.
As a result, less developed parts of China have acquired a greater understanding of AI and its influence, a topic that is previously limited to conversations in the largest Chinese cities, said Wenhao Zhang, the Consumer Consumer Consumer Consumer Director Doodod based in Beijing.
“It’s a big market education. This will encourage the development of the whole ecosystem,” he said on Tuesday, translated by CNBC.
Zhang, who studied AI at Tsinghu University, founded Doodod in 2012 to build customers’ engagement through an analysis of social media. He said the company – which counts China Merchant’s Bank and Toyota as clients – began to watch Deepseek offers at the end of last year, and began to use more after the R1 was published in late January.
Deepseek, founded in 2023 from a quantitative hedge fund, had Published the basic version of R1 in Novemberand the V3 model in December. He started a Chatbot Smart Phone application in January.
Local open code deployment
Another attractive factor for companies is that Deepseek’s open code models are, allowing individuals and companies to download and adjust them.
Deepseek also advertised a drastically lower price price for using its technology compared to the Openi. Chatgpt is not officially available in continental China and requires user to provide overseas telephone number and payment method from a Supported country like USA
Deepseek changed the perception that AI models only belong to large companies and have high implementation costs, said James Tong, CEO of Mvitech, Enterprise S
He said Mvitech began to integrate the earlier version of Deepsek in the fourth quarter of last year, helping to increase sales by about 25% from the same period of 2023. The company plans to launch a new application integrated deep depth by the end of March to improve clients’ ability to make decisions, he said.
Many recent videos on Chinese social media showed how to launch a local version of Deepseek Apple cider Mac Mini.
The Apple Mac Mini Internet Sales in China climbed significantly from November to January, as opposed to the same period of the year before,, According to WPIC consultation data. The JD.com page focused on electronics recorded the sale of units of about 20,200 in January, compared to almost 19,400 in December and about 12,250 in November, data showed.
Accessibility of Deepseek Pressure Models Models to reduce prices, allowing more companies to adopt technology, said Chim Lee, a senior Asian analyst from Economist Intelligence Unit. He added that open code models allow financial, banking and health companies In accordance with strict data protection rules in China – to develop AI app locally.
“It is still very early to point out concrete business applications, but it is crucial that Deepseek is speeding up in comfort of AI,” Lee said.
Beijing also increases support. The Chinese National Super -Ballet Network on Tuesday announced that Companies and individuals who meet the terms It can get three free months of deep approach, along with a subsidized computer force.
The network is similar Stargate project supported by Trump’s open in the US for Construction of AI infrastructure – With the potential for “even faster scaling,” Winston Ma, an assistant professor at the Faculty of Law on Wednesday. He is also the author of the “Digital War: How Chinese Technology Power shapes the future of Ai, Blockchain and Cyberspace.”
Not focused on Deepseek
The rush to try Deepseek does not mean that it will be the only Ai provider of Chinese companies. Cinema developers regularly publish new models.
Mvitech also uses the alibabin Qwen AI model, Tong said, noting that the market wants a technology that can lower costs and achieve results most, whether Openi or Deepseek.
Hanghang Ai, who has invested several hundred million yuan in developing AI solutions for companies in 20 industries, uses a number of models, said Partner and Coo Sh Weibing.
Many were first used “Baida and then realized that it was not as good as Kimi, then it was not as good as [ByteDance’s] Doubao, who also reduced prices, “said Shu in Mandarin, translated by CNBC.” Now it’s Deepseek. “
It remains to be seen how much generative AI can increase productivity and profit.
SHU predicts that small companies that integrate AI with hardware will have more than large internet platforms that have been facing consumers, whose AI has, he said, has focused more on increasing efficiency, not creating new consumer services.
Despite the fall in the price of AI models, “SMEs can still be in the waiting and viewing period” to adopt technology because of relatively high costs for complete implementation, including computer power and adjustment, Mike Fang, senior analyst at Gartner Director, said in Gartner Wednesday to Mandarini translated CNBC.
But the consulting company predicts that by 2027. The average price for access to the generative AI model will be less than 1% of what it now costs – that by 2029. 60% of Chinese companies will install AI into its primary products and services, forming top growths income.
