Tech war: DeepSeek fires up AI deployments into PCs, robots and EVs amid US sanctions
PC giant Lenovo Group, Shenzhen-based robotics firm UBTech and EV maker Geely are among the first major Chinese manufacturing enterprises to push DeepSeek technology into their products.
Those initiatives reflect how much DeepSeek has caught the attention of the technology industry at home and abroad, following its recent AI breakthrough.
The Hangzhou-based start-up released two high-performance AI models, DeepSeek-V3 and DeepSeek-R1, that were developed at a fraction of the cost and computing power that major tech companies muster to build large language models – the technology underpinning generative AI services like ChatGPT.
Lenovo has integrated DeepSeek’s model into its Xiaotian AI assistant on its PCs, enhancing capabilities from text understanding and code generation to maths and reasoning skills, the company said in a Weibo post this week.
Xiaotian was introduced early last year by Lenovo – which plans a wider roll-out into its tablets, smartphones and other products – to automate tasks such as summarising or translating documents, as well as transcribing the minutes of a meeting.
