Interview content:

1. At the beginning of this year, the DeepSeek application developed by "Deep Seek", a large domestic model company, caused huge waves in the global AI field. The DeepSeek application once topped the free app download rankings of Apple's China and US app stores, and once surpassed ChatGPT in the US download list. First of all, please introduce to us, what is the advantage of DeepSeek? Why has it attracted so much attention around the world?

Answer: As a domestic AI software, DeepSeek has excellent performance experience, strong technical strength and rich scene adaptation capabilities.

The reason why such an excellent AI tool has received widespread global attention is inseparable from its training and inference efficiency, multi-modal innovation and open source ecological strategy. Compared with overseas AI tools, DeepSeek achieves high performance at a smaller cost. Combining text, image and structured data processing capabilities expands the boundaries of AI applications. In addition, DeepSeek implements the gradient open plan and releases a 7 billion parameter lightweight version of the open source model, focusing on developer-friendly design to promote technology popularization and developer ecological construction.

In short, through the combined strategy of "technical innovation + scene adaptation + cost reduction and efficiency improvement", DeepSeek not only took the lead in achieving performance comparable to the OpenAI series models, but also used algorithm advantages to compress the cost of inference models, achieving a sudden rise among many models.

2. Some people think that the popularity of DeepSeek shows that my country is already a global leader in the field of artificial intelligence. Do you agree with this statement? What do you think the popularity of DeepSeek means? How should we objectively evaluate the position of my country's artificial intelligence industry in global technology competition?

Answer: Regarding this question, I would like to use the framework of "one realistic positioning, two breakthrough signals, and three competitiveness coordinates" to elaborate:

First of all, clarify the global positioning: we are leaping from "followers" to "parallel runners". DeepSeek relies on group collaboration strategy optimization and long-chain logical reasoning training to achieve performance breakthroughs at only 1/10 of the training cost of international peers. This "low-cost, high-intelligence" path has subverted industry perceptions and proved that China's AI has the ability to innovate paradigms. But global leadership requires complete ecological support. Currently we are facing a double test: on the chip side, large model training still relies on international computing power; on the architecture side, core frameworks such as Transformer originate from overseas. Therefore, it can be said that DeepSeek is a milestone in "innovation breakthrough", but taking the lead requires systematic efforts in basic research, underlying technology and other fields.

DeepSeek’s popularity has sent two major signals: First, technological innovation promotes the inclusiveness of AI. DeepSeek significantly reduces the cost of large model training and deployment through innovative architecture design and algorithm optimization. This "low-cost, high-efficiency" path accelerates the growth of the domestic computing power ecosystem. The second is open source collaboration to reshape the AI ​​ecosystem. DeepSeek makes its model open source, so developers around the world can freely view, modify and use its technology, which greatly promotes the rapid development and popularization of technology. More importantly, DeepSeek has built a three-dimensional ecosystem covering developer communities, hardware adaptation solutions, and industry application cases, allowing domestic chips to be rapidly iterated in actual combat. This innovative model of "collaboration of software and hardware, integration of production and research" is changing the past development dilemma of "single breakthrough, ecological lag".

The position of China’s artificial intelligence industry in global technology competition can be positioned in three dimensions: First, “application strong players”. China has the richest AI implementation scenarios in the world, ranging from macro layouts such as smart cities and financial technology to subdivisions such as smart manufacturing and industrial quality inspection, forming a multi-level and high-density "scenario testing ground". This two-way drive chain of "demand drives innovation - technology feeds back" has not only spawned a large number of innovative applications, but also promoted rapid iteration of technology. The second is "Innovation Fast Hands". DeepSeek achieves multi-modal upgrades in a short period of time and has the ability to process multi-modal data such as text, images, and audio. Behind this acceleration of innovation is architectural innovation and the result of China's rapid iteration in basic AI research and engineering transformation. The third is "experts in tackling tough problems". China's AI is accelerating its catch-up in areas such as underlying architecture and computing chips, and has achieved breakthroughs in some cutting-edge directions.

If you want to truly lead in the future, you must do three things: First, you must build a solid foundation for basic research, such as exploring new paths beyond the existing Transformer architecture; second, break through the "blockade" of core technologies and build a complete independent system from chip design software to manufacturing processes; third, cultivate an open collaborative ecosystem and achieve "innovation fission" through open source communities.

3. We have also noticed that many government affairs systems across the country have successively joined DeepSeek's "circle of friends", and DeepSeek has completed local deployment in many hospitals; as DeepSeek is introduced into more and more fields, a large wave of industry changes are coming to us. What do you think of these changes brought about by artificial intelligence?

Answer: As an important technological force that promotes social progress, artificial intelligence is reshaping the operating logic of traditional industries. Through massive data analysis and intelligent decision-making capabilities, this technology has been deeply integrated into people's livelihood fields such as urban governance, medical services, and educational innovation, showing strong social value.

For example, in the construction of smart cities, intelligent management systems promote the transformation of urban governance from experience-driven to data-driven by optimizing traffic signal timing and public resource allocation; in the medical field, auxiliary diagnosis and treatment systems provide diagnostic reference for grassroots doctors and improve the level of service standardization; in the education industry, relying on learning trajectory analysis, dynamic adjustment of teaching strategies is realized, allowing high-quality resources to break through time and space constraints. These practices confirm the positive role of artificial intelligence in improving public service efficiency and promoting social equity.

It is worth noting that technological innovation always needs to pay equal attention to humanistic care. In the process of promoting the implementation of technology, a complete data governance system must be established to balance the relationship between efficiency improvement and privacy protection, so that artificial intelligence can truly become a sustainable development force that benefits the public. This requires both the guidance of technological ethics and the guarantee of institutional innovation, so as to build a benign ecology of science and technology for good.

4. What kind of industrial changes do you think the development of the artificial intelligence industry will bring about in the future? What new application scenarios and new economic growth points will be created?

Answer: With the in-depth development of a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, artificial intelligence is reshaping thousands of industries at an unprecedented speed and becoming an important engine for the development of new productivity. First, artificial intelligence can greatly improve productivity and efficiency by optimizing traditional links and processes. In traditional manufacturing, logistics, supply chain and other industries, artificial intelligence can help monitor, analyze and adjust various parameters on the production line in real time, making resource allocation more reasonable, reducing resource waste and unnecessary costs. For example, in smart manufacturing, artificial intelligence algorithms can predict equipment failures and maintenance needs, avoiding equipment downtime and thus improving production efficiency.

Secondly, artificial intelligence can promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries through automation and digitalization. In the retail industry, through big data and artificial intelligence technology, merchants can more accurately grasp consumer needs and achieve personalized marketing and customized services, thereby enhancing market competitiveness. In the agricultural field, artificial intelligence technology can assist in in-depth analysis of climate, soil, crop growth and other data, improve the efficiency and quality of agricultural production, and promote the modernization process of agriculture. More importantly, the widespread application of artificial intelligence can enable data-driven decision-making and innovation. Traditional industries often rely on experience and intuition to make decisions, but with the addition of artificial intelligence, data analysis and intelligent decision-making can help companies more accurately capture market opportunities and reduce decision-making errors. Overall, artificial intelligence has unparalleled advantages in improving efficiency, reducing costs, and promoting industrial upgrading, which has brought unprecedented development opportunities to traditional industries. In the future, artificial intelligence will also create more new development opportunities around people's livelihood needs, and the rapid development of a series of emerging fields will also become an important driving force for future economic growth.

5. Currently, the AI industry represented by DeepSeek is becoming one of the core driving forces of new productivity. How do you think it will inject new impetus into the development of new productive forces in our country? How should we promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence and industry in the future?

Answer: As a representative of the AI industry, DeepSeek is injecting new impetus into the development of my country's new productivity through several aspects. First of all, AI technology has greatly improved production efficiency. Companies such as DeepSeek use deep learning, natural language processing and big data analysis to provide strong technical support for many industries, especially in finance, medical, manufacturing and other fields. Through automated and intelligent solutions, they have greatly reduced costs and improved resource utilization efficiency. In addition, AI also plays an important role in innovating products and services. It can accurately predict market demand and analyze user behavior, thereby promoting the rapid iteration of new business models and products.

For the deep integration of artificial intelligence and industry, the key to the future lies in the following aspects: First, policy guidance and support. The role of policy is not only the "engine" to promote scientific research and development and technological innovation, but also the "soil" for building an industrial innovation ecosystem and market environment. Promoting the deep integration of AI and industry requires more refined policies and measures, while standardizing market order and technology applications. The second is the development of industry-customized applications. AI technology needs to be deeply integrated and personalized according to the needs of different industries. It cannot just be a technical application, but also truly serves the development of the industry. The third is to break information silos and build a cross-industry data sharing platform. The development of AI cannot be separated from the support of big data. Enterprises need more open data structures and standardized interfaces to promote collaborative innovation and shared development among industries.

6. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China emphasized the need to improve the system and mechanism of developing new productive forces in accordance with local conditions. What do you think are the highlights and challenges in the development of new productive forces in our country? What is the potential for the future?

Answer: In the past few years, our country has developed rapidly in the development of new productive forces, especially in digital transformation and technological innovation.

One of the highlights is the strong drive of policy support. The government has actively introduced policies and measures to provide sufficient financial support and institutional guarantees for innovative enterprises and emerging industries. In addition, China's huge market size and data resources are also a major advantage of new productivity. Technologies such as AI, 5G, and the Internet of Things can be quickly implemented in the market, promoting the accelerated upgrading of the industry.

However, challenges remain. The first is the issue of independent and controllable technology. Although my country has made major breakthroughs in fields such as artificial intelligence, it still has the problem of relying on imports for some core technologies. Secondly, there is a regional imbalance in innovation capabilities, especially the gap between the central and western regions and the eastern coastal regions in technology research and development, talent introduction and infrastructure construction, which may affect the overall innovation momentum. In addition, the shortage of talents is also a key issue currently restricting development. There is a huge demand for senior technical talents in the AI ​​field, but the training cycle is long.

In the future, the potential of my country's new productivity is mainly reflected in the following aspects: First, the collaborative innovation of the industrial chain. With the integration and application of 5G, AI, blockchain and other technologies, multiple industries will form more efficient industrial chain cooperation. Secondly, policies are expected to be further improved, especially institutional innovations in capital markets, intellectual property protection, etc., which will provide more guarantees for technological innovation. Finally, with the continuous opening and interaction of domestic and foreign markets, the cross-border application and cooperation of AI technology will bring more opportunities to Chinese enterprises.

7. Let’s go back to DeepSeek. Do you think DeepSeek’s popularity this time is accidental or inevitable? How should we further promote technological innovation in the future and create the next DeepSeek, or more DeepSeeks?

Answer: DeepSeek’s success may seem accidental, but in fact it is the inevitable result of technology accumulation, industrial demand and the opportunities of the times.

From the perspective of technological evolution, my country’s continuous investment in the field of artificial intelligence has established a key foundation. Breakthroughs in cutting-edge technologies such as large model architecture and multi-modal learning, coupled with an innovation ecosystem that deeply integrates industry, academia and research, provide companies like DeepSeek with the soil for technological leaps. For example, the large-scale model optimization behind its code generation capabilities is a reflection of its long-term accumulation of basic research.

At the industrial level, the global intelligent transformation has entered the deep water zone. Whether it is the manufacturing industry's demand for flexible production or the financial, medical and other industries' pursuit of precise services, they all need "top-of-the-line" solutions like DeepSeek - which not only conquer the technological high ground of cognitive reasoning, but also take root in specific scenarios to achieve commercial closed loops. This "technology-scenario" two-wheel drive is the core driving force behind its breakthrough.

From the perspective of the needs of the times, the human-machine collaboration paradigm is currently being overturned. What the market needs is no longer tools that simply replace human labor, but intelligent partners with industry knowledge accumulation and creative thinking. The "human-like" thinking demonstrated by DeepSeek in code deduction and dynamic optimization has hit the key node of this productivity revolution.

To cultivate more such benchmarks, it is necessary to build a more inclusive innovation ecosystem: first, establish a national-level computing power sharing platform and use flexible supply to lower the research and development threshold of small and medium-sized enterprises; second, improve the "patient capital" mechanism to provide longer-term support for underlying technology research; third, promote the construction of industry knowledge open source communities and accelerate innovation collisions in cross-domain scenarios.

It is foreseeable that as the Digital China strategy deepens, this dual advantage of "technological depth + industrial depth" will surely give birth to more Chinese AI leaders. DeepSeek’s breakthrough is the prelude to this wave of innovation.

8. Last question, I understand that you have done special research on the digital industry, so I would like to know, as an expert, what do you usually use deepseek for? For us ordinary people, how should we make better use of DeepSeek to feel the changes brought about by technology and embrace the advent of the AI ​​era?

Answer: During the research process, I used DeepSeek within the framework of academic standards to efficiently complete the code implementation of data processing.

To the public, DeepSeek is essentially an intelligent collaborator available to everyone. It can transform everyone's ideas into concrete action plans - such as business model innovation for enterprises.
