On March 19, Tencent Chairman and CEO Ma Huateng talked about DeepSeek at the 2024 financial report media communication meeting and said that after the deep thinking model came out, AI (artificial intelligence) intelligence has been greatly improved compared with before, and after the emergence of DeepSeek, open source and Chinese engineers have obvious advantages in focusing on cost and efficiency. "I particularly admire the emergence of such a truly open source and very free product on the market, and it is the first to make deep thinking public, and even the large model development in many countries has benefited (from this). I think this is a very great thing, so we also respect and embrace it very much." Ma Huateng said. He revealed that Tencent's current application platforms, including cloud and Yuanbao clients, have actively embraced DeepSeek.
