According to Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, Apple (AAPL) is actively preparing to launch its artificial intelligence function, Apple Intelligence, for the iPhone in the Chinese market in the middle of this year, and fully promote the implementation of artificial intelligence functions in the Chinese market.
It is reported that Apple will use its own AI model and plans to work with these two companies to jointly promote the implementation of AI in China. Apple’s goal is to launch the product as early as May 2025. of Jan
Musk announced that the Grok 3 large model will be released
According to the news, Musk recently revealed that the Grok 3 large model will be released at 8 pm Pacific Time on Monday (12:00 on February 18, Beijing Time), and a live demonstration will be conducted at that time.
Public information shows that the Grok 3 model was launched by xAI, an artificial intelligence company under Musk. xAI was founded in 2023, and soon released the Grok and Grok 1.5 models, and released Grok 2 in August last year.
In addition, Bloomberg reported that according to people familiar with the matter, xAI is currently contacting potential investors and plans to raise about $10 billion in funds. This round of financing may bring the company’s valuation to about $75 billion.
Industry competition is becoming increasingly fierce
At the same time, Baidu (BIDU) Search and Wenxin Intelligent Agent Platform announced that they will fully access the latest deep search functions of DeepSeek and Wenxin Big Model. Search users can use DeepSeek and Wenxin Big Model deep search functions for free, and developers of Wenxin Intelligent Agent Platform will also be able to call DeepSeek models at any time to create and tune intelligent agents.
Baidu said that from Baidu’s Wenxin Yiyan to OpenAI’s GPT-5 and Google’s latest artificial intelligence model suite, these leading companies in the artificial intelligence industry at home and abroad have recently followed the DeepSeek model and opened it to all users for free.
In addition, Baidu founder Robin Li recently stated at the 2025 World Government Summit that the cost of large model reasoning can be reduced by more than 90% each year. The technical route represented by DeepSeek is further promoting the reduction of AI application costs, which is expected to stimulate more enterprises and institutions to deploy large models and accelerate the popularization of AI to the whole industry and daily life.
In fact, artificial intelligence has entered a faster development stage. Since the Spring Festival, the artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek has released its R1 model, which shocked the technology community. R1 is a “reasoning” model, and its performance is comparable to the o1 reasoning model released by OpenAI in early December last year, and even surpasses OpenAI in some aspects.
At present, the global competition for large AI models is becoming increasingly fierce. With its openness, efficiency and ease of use, DeepSeek open source model is becoming an important force in promoting the popularization of AI technology, further demonstrating the vigorous development of China’s artificial intelligence field. The next year is expected to be a golden period for the outbreak of AI applications.
WIMI accelerates the commercialization of large models
Nowadays, with the continuous advancement of technology, the training and reasoning costs of large AI models have been greatly reduced, and large AI models are expected to become the underlying infrastructure to support multiple applications at the upper level. According to the data, WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WIMI), as the world’s leading AI open source solution provider, will integrate open source DeepSeek with AI while enriching the big model, which will provide “source power” for corporate innovation, and will continue to achieve innovative development on the basis of this breakthrough.
In addition, in the era of big models, various manufacturers, especially in the face of pressure in computing power and resource allocation, AI computing power is expected to become the entrance to the “open source model”, and various business model innovations are emerging in an endless stream. In this regard, WIMI is actively preparing and plans to further consolidate its position in the field of AI through the research and development of AI vision, edge computing, cloud computing, quantum technology, etc., to promote the popularization and application of open source AI technology. On the other hand, this will also trigger a new competitive landscape, prompting other companies to follow up or explore new business models.
Conclusion
AI big models are reconstructing cognitive boundaries. From the stunning appearance of GPT-3 to the scene penetration of multimodal models, technology iteration has broken through the tool attributes. Perhaps one day in the future, when the public looks back at this moment, they will be amazed at this AI revolution and have a deeper understanding of the wisdom of science and technology. If you are looking forward to the open source AI big model, you might as well continue to pay attention to this technological feast and witness together whether AI can really reshape the beautiful future of mankind.
