Deepseek integrating in EV’s

DeepSeek's AI has become a major point of pride in China, with several top EV manufacturers integrating its R1 reasoning model into their vehicles. BYD, Geely, and Great Wall are among the companies incorporating the AI into their software to gain a competitive edge in China’s tech-driven electric vehicle market.

DeepSeek's R1 model is on par with those from US firms like OpenAI but was developed at a fraction of the cost, significantly impacting global markets and competitor valuations. This move underscores Chinese consumers' growing demands for AI-powered, self-driving technologies in their vehicles. Other automakers like Dongfeng have also announced plans to embed DeepSeek’s AI. Consequently, these developments are not only driven by national pride but by a strong market push for advanced technology in electric vehicles.
