The National Supercomputing Internet Platform recently announced the launch of the "AI Ecosystem Partner Acceleration Program," offering a series of benefits for enterprise users, including three months of free access to the DeepSeek API and supporting it with a computing power resource pool of ten million core hours. It is reported that the platform has completed the deployment of the full version of the DeepSeek model image. Currently, the platform has achieved interconnection with over 20 supercomputing and intelligent computing centers across 14 provinces, aggregating over 6,500 types of computing products, including nearly 2 AI model services.

Today, the iFlytek Open Platform officially launched the 807th AI capability – the full series of DeepSeek models, provided by Hangzhou DeepSeek. The full series includes two versions: DeepSeek-V3 and DeepSeek-R1, both supporting public cloud API calls and one-click deployment of dedicated models. Notably, the iFlytek Open Platform also introduced the DeepSeek large model fine-tuning service, allowing developers to deeply customize 'smarter and more suitable' solutions based on business scenario data.

Recently, the domestic artificial intelligence company DeepSeek has attracted widespread attention due to its outstanding performance. Interestingly, some netizens discovered that there seems to be a 'missed connection' story between DeepSeek and its upstairs neighbor - Beijing Baidu Investment Management Co., Ltd. (referred to as 'Baidu Venture Capital').

On February 8, Tencent Cloud announced a major innovation by integrating the DeepSeek R1 and V3 original models via API into its large model knowledge engine, supporting online search functionality. This move makes Tencent Cloud the first cloud service provider in the country to achieve such capability, providing a new solution for the rapid construction and deployment of enterprise-level AI applications.

Tencent Cloud announced the completion of deep integration with the DeepSeek large model, officially launching the API interfaces for DeepSeek-R1 and the V3 original model, and innovatively integrating its self-developed large model knowledge engine while simultaneously opening up internet search capabilities. This move makes Tencent Cloud the first domestic cloud vendor to achieve a three-in-one service of 'Model API + Knowledge Engine + Real-Time Search,' marking the official entry of large model applications into the era of dynamic knowledge enhancement.

Recently, Google officially launched its latest image generation model – Imagen 3, which is now available for developers through the Gemini API. This model excels in visual effects, capable of generating high-quality images in various styles, including surrealism, impressionist landscapes, abstract works, and anime characters. Imagen 3 not only enhances image clarity and composition capabilities but also simplifies text prompts to help users more easily translate their ideas into images. Initially, Imagen 3 will be accessible only to paying users.

Perplexity announced on Tuesday the launch of its enterprise-level API service "Sonar", allowing businesses and developers to integrate its generative AI search capabilities into their own applications. The service is available in two versions: the basic Sonar and the advanced Sonar Pro, and it supports customers in customizing the information sources of the AI search engine. Unlike traditional AI models that rely solely on training data, Perplexity emphasizes that Sonar can connect to the internet in real-time and obtain information from reliable sources, thereby providing more factual and authoritative results.

A research team from the United States and the United Kingdom has recently succeeded in reviving a chatbot code known as ELIZA, which is considered the first electronic chatbot in history. According to their paper published on the arXiv preprint server, this code was originally written by the late MIT professor Joseph Weizenbaum in the 1960s. In 2021, an MIT archivist named Miles Crowley discovered printed copies of this code in a box containing Weizenbaum's personal belongings. The revival of this code marks an important milestone in the history of artificial intelligence.
