DeepSeek lowers cost of AI adoption for businesses across Southeast Asia: experts
DeepSeek's advanced AI models are making AI adoption more affordable for Southeast Asian SMEs. This development is particularly beneficial for startups, allowing them to focus on innovation with significantly lower costs, according to Leo Liu Binxing, vice-president at Alibaba Cloud Intelligence, speaking at the China Conference: Southeast Asia 2025.
DeepSeek has gained attention for its open-source AI models, V3 and R1, which offer similar capabilities to those of major tech companies but at a fraction of the cost and computing power. These models are based on Large Language Model (LLM) technology, which underpins generative AI services like ChatGPT. Major cloud computing providers, including Alibaba, Huawei, Tencent, Microsoft, and Amazon Web Services, are already offering DeepSeek on their platforms, further lowering the barrier to entry for SMEs.
