From the fourth to the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, more than ten domestic AI chip and computing power companies joined DeepSeek's "friend circle" one after another. At that time, engineers were busy adapting DeepSeek models and launching services; Nowadays, when asked what these companies are busy with, the response they receive may be very unified - deployment.

DeepSeek has not only demonstrated strong competitiveness in the Chinese domestic market, but has also successfully topped the free to use chart on the Apple App Store in the US market, surpassing ChatGPT and Google Gemini, which previously dominated the global AI market.

It is reported that the industry is currently transitioning from DeepSeek adaptation to deployment and application. On the one hand, enterprises are receiving a large number of user inquiries and fully responding to user needs. On the other hand, they are also building DeepSeek version intelligent computing all-in-one machines to accelerate the landing of AI applications. DeepSeek can truly become a productivity tool and a big model that meets the needs of application implementation. It can be expected that the application implementation of big models will explode in 2025 Industry insiders say.

At present, DeepSeek has nearly 20 domestic AI chip companies adapting their models, and multiple cloud computing and intelligent computing companies have also expressed support. Two leading AI companies are simultaneously betting on self-developed chips, marking the entry of big model competition into the "autonomous computing power" deep water zone, shifting from algorithm innovation to "algorithm chip data" ecological competition, and potentially reshaping multi domain competition rules in the future.

According to insiders, DeepSeek is widely recruiting chip design talents to accelerate its self-developed chip layout, and its chip application on the end or cloud side is still unclear.
