Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the competitive landscape in the AI large model sector, focusing on the advancements and challenges faced by companies DeepSeek and Kimi, as well as the impact of larger players like Alibaba and Baidu on their market positions [2][5][13]. Group 1: Model Developments - DeepSeek launched its new model, DeepSeek-Prover-V2, with a parameter scale of 671 billion, significantly larger than the previous version's 7 billion, resulting in improved efficiency and accuracy in mathematical tasks [3][4]. - The performance of DeepSeek-Prover-V2 in the miniF2F test reached 88.9%, while it solved 49 problems in the PutnamBench test, outperforming Kimi's model, which had an 80.7% pass rate and solved 10 problems [3][4]. - The evolution of DeepSeek's models is synchronized, with a timeline of updates from Prover series models starting in March 2024 to the latest updates in 2025 [8][9]. Group 2: Competitive Landscape - DeepSeek and Kimi are facing increasing competition from major companies like Alibaba and Baidu, which are rapidly advancing their own AI models [5][15]. - Alibaba's new model, Qwen3, is described as a "mixed reasoning model" that outperforms DeepSeek's R1 model despite having only one-third of its parameters [15][16]. - Kimi has seen rapid growth, reaching 20 million monthly active users within a year, but is now being challenged by Tencent's Yuanbao, which has surpassed Kimi in user numbers [14][15]. Group 3: Future Directions - DeepSeek's founder has identified three paths for achieving AGI: mathematics and code, multimodal learning, and natural language [7]. - The upcoming R2 model is anticipated to enhance DeepSeek's capabilities, with expectations of a shorter development cycle compared to the more extensive updates expected for the V4 model [9][10]. - The market is eager for DeepSeek's new models, with speculation about the use of Huawei's Ascend chips for R2, although there are concerns about their robustness for large model development [10][11].
