Baidu’s YY Live, now infused with DeepSeek, adopts YYDS name in Chinese meme-inspired joke
YY Live, the live-streaming service owned by Baidu, has launched an AI-powered chatbot called YYDS, utilizing DeepSeek's open-source models. The name YYDS, a popular internet meme meaning roughly "eternal god," reflects the platform's embrace of AI and its attempt to resonate with users familiar with online culture.
This move follows Baidu's recent acquisition of YY Live and a broader trend among Chinese internet companies, including Baidu itself, Tencent, and Alibaba, to integrate DeepSeek's AI models into their services. Baidu aims to leverage this technology to compete in China's booming short video and live-streaming market, currently dominated by ByteDance's Douyin and Kuaishou Technology.
