China’s recent breakthrough in AI development, demonstrated by DeepSeek‘s success, offers important insights into the future of the country’s industrial AI applications. Despite chip restrictions, DeepSeek achieved remarkable performance through innovative model optimization and efficient architecture design. By implementing 8-bit floating-point precision and a MoE(Mixture of Experts) architecture that activates only 37B of 671B parameters per token, DeepSeek significantly reduced computational demands while maintaining high performance. This achievement aligns with China’s traditional strength in practical technology applications, where the focus has been on implementing solutions that prioritize efficiency and accessibility. This approach could prove valuable in manufacturing sectors, including 3D printing, where optimizing performance while managing costs remains a critical challenge for industrial adoption.
