DeepSeek

Is there likely to be any pressure from from the US, perhaps from China, to see some kind of detente, at least over the development of this highly contentious and highly competitive sphere of industrial growth?

The Chinese government has a very hands-on approach to regulating AI, both the legacy big players and also the emerging players that we've heard about, like DeepSeek and Moonshot and others.

So they are actually directly getting involved in how these companies develop models, how they share information, how they restrict the capabilities of their models, because the Chinese government is in the business of staying in business.

The Communist Party does not buy the idea that they should step aside for AI to run everything.

There's about seven to 10 companies in that category.

You have OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, xAI, DeepSeek.

And then you get into tier two, where it's, you know, the vertical LLM builders, Salesforce, Adobe, Bloomberg.

And then you get down to tier three, which are, you know, the Fortune 500, and they have their own pr- proprietary AI, you know, 200 to 500 of them.

On Terminal Bench 4.0, Grok 4.7 hits just 26% versus 60% for GPT-6 Astra and 55% for Claude Fable 5.1.

Even the cheaper DeepSeek V4.1 Flash edges pass it at 27%.

The model is available through the Grok API, Cursor, and Grok Build, end quote.

The increasing popularity of generative artificial intelligence has led to a new stage in China's approach to information control and propaganda, RSF said.

Chinese large language models, including DeepSeek, Ernie, and Quen, have added political censorship mechanisms and state-approved narratives into their responses.

It stated, based on its testing.

For instance, when asked why Chinese citizen journalist Zhang Zhan was imprisoned, DeepSeek repeated China's official talking points.

The report notes, Zhang, who was first imprisoned in 2020 before being sentenced to another four-year term in 2025, is known for her early reporting on the COVID-19 outbreak in China.

The Epoch Times' own examination of DeepSeek, published in February 2025, found that the AI chatbot refused to meaningfully touch upon any questions about China's human rights record.

Beijing's propaganda has infiltrated Western large language models.

The report notes, citing joint research from several U.S. universities, including the University of Oregon, Purdue University, and the University of California, San Diego.

I just use the free one.

I use DeepSeek occasionally, and I have a local model that I run, the Alibaba model I run on my Mac.

So I play around with them.

They all have different personalities and different strengths and weaknesses.

We had a huge night from the SOX, rising 4.3%, MAG7 almost as good, up 3.6%.

The catalyst coming from Meta's new AI agent called Muse, similar to what we saw in DeepSeek last year, It was not so much the initial announcement, but traders tracking the app store movements.

And the catalyst overnight was Muse topping the app store charts.

That one spurring on a rally in all AI names from semiconductors to big tech and to also AI power plays and networking stocks.

definitely not only using like emails or previous that kind of kind of traditional way i believe ai is another very advanced tactic to spy on communist china because you know they instill your model, your AI model.

We know that like Deep Seek or whatever, in China they have Alibaba's Q1, it's like thousand questions.

And also we have Doubao, which means dumping with some kind of red bean inside, that's the meaning of the name, Doubao.

And also they have different type of AI because in China they encourage people to develop AI and weaponize AI.

I can speak from other types of industry where China can go out there and build things extremely quickly and put other countries to shame.

And in AI, they've tried this with DeepSeek as well, but it found out it had a few limitations.

But do not write China off.

It'll be an interesting conversation.

And he goes, well, I can't do that because that goes against blah, blah, blah.

But if you go over to DeepSeek, The Chinese version, it'll spit out whatever you want because it doesn't give a shit.

It doesn't like Hillary Clinton.

It's not going to kiss Barack Obama's ass or anybody else's.
