Over the past month, the global mockup market has been in unprecedented turmoil due to the launch of DeepSeek. The rise of this emerging force has not only attracted widespread attention from both inside and outside the industry, but also forced major companies to re-examine their own strategic layout. In the domestic market, six large-scale model startups that have become unicorns - Zero One Thousand Things, Baichuan Intelligence, Stepping Stars, Wisdom Score, The Dark Side of the Moon and MiniMax, are facing severe challenges. However, from their respective coping strategies, we can clearly see different development directions and strategic thinking.
First of all, Kai-Fu Lee, the founder of Zero One World, made it clear earlier that they no longer pursue the training of super-large models, but focus on the development of lightweight models. Behind this strategic change is a profound insight into market demand and technological trends. On February 14, Zero-1000 Things and Suzhou High-tech Zone jointly established an industrial big model base, focusing on manufacturing, finance, medical care and other fields. This move not only marks the determination of Zero-10 things to move from laboratory to practical application, but also shows its ambition to promote the industrialization of large-scale model technology.
Within just a few days after the release of DeepSeek, Baichuan Intelligent quickly launched the full-scene reasoning model Baichuan-M1-preview. This model not only has the capabilities of language, vision and search, but also has made significant breakthroughs in the medical industry. The "AI Pediatrician" project launched by Baichuan Intelligent not only demonstrates its rapid implementation in actual applications, but also highlights its innovative strength in the medical field. This series of measures undoubtedly won the lead in the fierce market competition.
Jieyuexingchen chose to launch two new models on the day of DeepSeek's release to enhance its market competitiveness. This strategy not only demonstrates Jie Yuexingchen's strength in technological innovation, but also shows its agility in responding to market changes. In addition, its application "Yuewen" has also launched new functions, aiming to help users develop applications without code. This innovation not only further improves the user experience, but also opens up new market space in the field of code-free development.
Tang Jie, the founder of Zhipu Huazhang, emphasized at the international summit that the large-scale language model in the future will become the core of daily life and work. This view not only demonstrates Zhipu Huazhang's profound understanding of the development trend of technology, but also highlights his vision in promoting the application of large-scale model technology. Tang Jie believes that through independent learning and collaborating with humans, large language models will be able to complete complex tasks, thus playing an important role in future work and life.
The Dark Side of the Moon launched the Kimi k1.5 multimodal thinking model shortly after the release of DeepSeek. This model not only improves context understanding capabilities, but also makes significant progress in strategy optimization. This innovation on the dark side of the moon not only shows its continuous efforts in technology research and development, but also shows its positive attitude in responding to market competition. By continuously improving model performance, Dark Side of Moon has shown strong competitiveness in both technological innovation and market application.
Although these six startups did not respond directly to DeepSeek, we can clearly see from their actual actions and product innovations that they are actively responding to this market impact. Whether it is the development of the lightweight model of Zero One Thousand Things, the transformation of Baichuan Intelligent's medical industry, or the code-free development application of Jiexing, these measures all show their ability to adapt to market changes. In the future, with the continuous development of large-model technology, these companies will continue to show strong competitiveness in technological innovation and market applications.
