Baidu adopts DeepSeek AI models, chasing Tencent in race to embrace the hot start-up
Baidu is integrating DeepSeek's AI models into its search engine, following Tencent's move to incorporate the technology into Weixin. This integration aims to provide users with a more diverse search experience by combining DeepSeek's capabilities with Baidu's own Ernie large language models (LLMs). Baidu will also add DeepSeek to its LLM platform for developers.
This move comes shortly after Tencent began beta testing DeepSeek's AI models on Weixin, potentially exposing the technology to the platform's 1.3 billion active users in mainland China. DeepSeek has rapidly gained prominence as a leading AI startup in China, with its advanced models, V3 and R1, making waves in the global tech community due to their performance and cost-effectiveness, even causing a drop in AI-related stock prices last month. However, Baidu's share price experienced a significant decline of around 8% in Hong Kong trading, ahead of its fourth-quarter earnings report.
