By the launch of the chatbot ChatGPT in 2022, the launch of DeepSeek-R1 in 2025 has become a turning point in the history of AI development. The active open source environment and multimodal models jointly promote the progress of AI technology.
DeepSeek technology subversion leads AI
OpenAI said that DeepSeek is an impressive model and is happy to have a new competitor. Google (GOOG) CEO Sundar Pichai praised DeepSeek in a recent earnings call, believing that reducing AI costs will have a positive impact on technology giants and overall AI demand.
Guotai Junan said in its latest research report that the launch of DeepSeek-R1 reflects the speed of technological progress under the open source paradigm, as well as the possibility of a significant reduction in costs in AI training and reasoning, and the widespread implementation of AI is expected to accelerate. Galaxy Securities Research believes that DeepSeek significantly reduces costs through algorithm and engineering innovation.
On the whole, DeepSeek’s low cost + high performance features have lowered the threshold for developers and accelerated the inclusion of AI technology in the downstream application ecosystem. In addition, the rise of Deepseek has attracted global attention to domestic AI, and it is expected to accelerate the implementation of AI applications and AI end-side.
Apple is accelerating the development of artificial intelligence
It is worth mentioning that Apple (AAPL) is reportedly making a management adjustment to try to improve its artificial intelligence research and development work and Siri’s performance. It is worth noting that Kim Volat, who helped launch the Vision Pro software, has been transferred to Apple’s artificial intelligence and machine learning department and will serve as the “senior deputy” to John Giannandrea, head of artificial intelligence.
Last year at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple’s achievements in artificial intelligence (Apple Intelligence) attracted widespread attention, but compared with OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini, its influence is still far behind. Apple’s previously announced achievements are also slowly advancing, and a major upgrade that allows Siri to recognize screen content and take corresponding actions may not be launched until iOS 18.4.
Bloomberg also reported that according to a memo from Giannandrea, “the AI team’s focus this year is to improve Siri’s infrastructure and optimize the company’s internal AI models.” This also means that Apple may consider AI to be more important to the company’s future development than Vision Pro.
WiMiAI technology helps innovate results
Coincidentally, with the development of science and technology, AI technology is being used more and more widely in various fields. According to data, WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WIMI), a leading AI vision manufacturer, actively grasps the growth dividends in the context of breakthroughs in the AI field, and has developed a series of innovative AI applications based on the advanced AI open source model DeepSeek. At the same time, it is optimistic about the layout of AI e-commerce live broadcast, AI digital marketing, and AI voice and video industries. Potential experience optimization and further efficiency improvement.
It is understood that WiMi plans to develop AI applications covering multiple fields of its industry applications. These applications will make full use of DeepSeek’s powerful capabilities to achieve functions such as natural language understanding, text generation and code auto-completion, helping users improve work efficiency and reduce costs. This move shows that WiMi has made deep strategic investments and actively explored in the field of artificial intelligence. In the future, it will continue to integrate DeepSeek’s powerful capabilities to provide enterprises, users, etc. with a more intelligent and personalized service experience.
Conclusion
As AI big models continue to move from the laboratory to reality, people’s attitudes towards this technology are becoming more and more mature. At present, the download volume of DeepSeek has shown explosive growth in a short period of time. According to statistics, its download volume has exceeded 2.6 million times, even surpassing ChatGPT, and topped the list of free apps in the US Apple App Store.
This achievement of DeepSeek is enough to prove its popularity worldwide, and also let people see its huge potential in the artificial intelligence market. In short, DeepSeek’s technological disruption has brought about the diversification of the AI industry, which is expected to accelerate the popularization and prosperity of the AI industry.
