Great Wall Motor and China’s top telecom providers are integrating DeepSeek’s AI model, joining a growing list of companies leveraging the start-up’s breakthrough.
Great Wall Motor (601633.SS), China’s first listed carmaker, confirmed it had incorporated DeepSeek into its “Coffee Intelligence” connected vehicle system. State-run Securities Times first reported the development.
China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) announced that the country’s three largest telecom operators—China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom—are working with DeepSeek’s open-source model to expand AI applications.
Investor excitement over DeepSeek’s impact has driven up AI-related stocks, including chipmakers and cloud providers. Beijing-based Capitalonline Data Service (300846.SZ) saw its shares surge 49% last week after deploying the DeepSeek-R1 model. However, the company warned that business impact remains uncertain.
Shenzhen-based MeiG Smart Technology (002881.SZ), which develops IoT data terminals, confirmed its adaptation efforts but stated that no new business had emerged. Its stock still jumped 33%.
Other major Chinese firms, including Tencent (0700.HK) and Huawei (HWT.UL), have also integrated DeepSeek into their products, reinforcing Beijing’s push for AI advancement.
