Chen Jing, a vice president of the Technology and Strategy Research Institute, told the Global Times on Friday that DeepSeek"s flagship V4 model leads the industry in cost-performance.
"Ordinary users benefit from free local deployment—offering better privacy and value than subscriptions—while developers gain a significant edge through ultra-low API pricing and 1M context support for efficient processing of massive datasets," he said, adding that coupled with being fully open source, developers can also compress, modify, and port the model to various hardware, offering an extremely high degree of freedom.
Liu Gang, chief economist at the China Institute of New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Strategies, pointed out another advantage of DeepSeek-V4 is its powerful reasoning capability, which also grants it excellent long-text processing abilities, making it widely applicable in scenarios such as scientific research, media, and creative work, with broad application prospects.
DeepSeek"s latest open-sourced model came as the White House has accused China of industrial-scale stealing of American artificial intelligence intellectual property.
When asked for comment about the matter at the regular press conference on Friday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said such allegations are groundless and are deliberate attacks on China"s development and progress in the AI industry. China firmly rejects it.
"We urge the US to respect facts, discard bias, stop its containment on China"s sci-tech development and choose the course of action conducive to sci-tech exchanges and cooperation between China and the US," said the spokesperson.
