Chinese state science fund calls for more algorithm research after studying DeepSeek models
China's National Natural Science Foundation (NSFC) has concluded that AI development should prioritize improving intelligence rather than simply competing on computing power. This conclusion was reached after a discussion with experts regarding the impact of DeepSeek's AI models, which have gained significant attention for their performance achieved through system optimization rather than massive computing resources.
Lu Jianhua, deputy head of NSFC, stated that DeepSeek represents an advanced level of AI development and that China should focus on core technology breakthroughs in large models, hardware-software synergy, and industry applications. The success of DeepSeek's open-source models has spurred AI adoption in China, and the NSFC believes this approach will help the country build an autonomous and controllable AI ecosystem, reducing reliance on US technology.
