Liang Wenfeng, 40, took part in the meeting where a select group of industry experts – in the fields of technology, education, science, culture, health and sports – offered Li their opinions and suggestions for a draft government work report, according to official news agency Xinhua.
Hangzhou-based start-up DeepSeek last December made waves in the global AI industry after benchmark tests showed that its DeepSeek V3 LLM, which was built on a shoestring budget, outperformed rival models developed with more resources by the likes of Meta Platforms and ChatGPT creator OpenAI.
LLM refers to the technology underpinning generative AI services such as ChatGPT. Open source gives public access to a software program’s source code, allowing third-party developers to modify or share its design, fix broken links or scale up its capabilities.
At Monday’s meeting, Li called on the economy’s “new growth drivers”, created via scientific and technological innovation, to help “secure and improve people’s livelihoods”, according to the Xinhua report.
Liang’s participation at Monday’s meeting with Li reflects DeepSeek’s growing prominence in the AI industry.
