General Motors and Mercedes-Benz Lead the Way in Integrating DeepSeek AI Models
General Motors' joint venture with China's SAIC has taken the lead among global automakers by deeply integrating DeepSeek's artificial intelligence models into their in-car systems. This integration aims to offer owners more human-like and proactive services. SAIC-GM announced that select Cadillac and Buick models will support DeepSeek's R1 reasoning model, enhancing the driving experience. Additionally, they have incorporated Baidu's ERNIE Bot AI chatbot service into their lineup, showcasing a commitment to cutting-edge technology.
Not to be outdone, Smart, an electric vehicle brand operated jointly by Mercedes-Benz and China's Geely, has also announced plans to make DeepSeek's models available to owners of its smart #5 compact cars through over-the-air updates. This move highlights a trend among global automakers to embrace the latest AI technologies, particularly those developed by Chinese startups like DeepSeek.
Several Chinese automakers, including Geely and Dongfeng, have also expressed their intention to support the newest version of their own home-grown AI technology. This widespread adoption of AI models in the automotive industry signals a shift towards more advanced and intelligent vehicles that offer enhanced services and experiences to drivers and passengers alike.
