Recently, WeChat announced that its search function has officially been connected to the DeepSeek-R1 model, and this innovative measure is currently in the grayscale testing stage. When some users select AI search in the WeChat search box, they will have the opportunity to experience the in-depth thinking function provided by DeepSeek-R1. The introduction of this function marks an important step in the field of intelligent search.
WeChat said that the main purpose of introducing large models is to improve the intelligence and accuracy of searches. Through the DeepSeek-R1 model, WeChat can better understand users' search intentions and efficiently handle complex query requests. At present, WeChat Search has connected to multiple large models including Hunyuan and DeepSeek, aiming to provide users with a richer and more diverse search experience.
Regarding the data source, WeChat AI search not only covers content within the WeChat ecosystem such as official accounts, but also integrates high-quality information on the entire network to ensure that users can obtain more comprehensive and accurate answers. WeChat particularly emphasizes that AI search only uses public accounts and public information on the Internet, and will not involve personal privacy information such as user's circle of friends, chat records, etc., which fully guarantees the user's privacy and security.
In addition, WeChat also announced that users who have not been grayscaled to AI search will now click on the search bar at the top of the WeChat dialog box to enter WeChat search, and you will have the opportunity to see the prompt "Download Yuanbao (Experience DeepSeek R1)". Through Tencent Yuanbao, users can use the DeepSeek R1 full version, DeepSeek-V3, Tencent Hunyuan deep thinking model T1 and Tencent Hunyuan general model Turbo for free, further expanding users' usage scenarios and experiences.
