Chinese companies are rapidly adopting DeepSeek’s latest AI model to improve productivity and services after its impressive debut earlier this year. The artificial intelligence model is being integrated into tech, telecom, finance, healthcare, and energy sectors.
DeepSeek has rapidly gained global attention with the release of its AI model, DeepSeek-R1—praised for its strong performance, cost-effectiveness, and open-source advantages. Major Chinese tech and telecom firms are embedding it into platforms, from social media to cloud services. But its reach is extending further—revolutionizing industries like energy, manufacturing, finance, and healthcare.
One sector already seeing major benefits is energy, where China’s National Oil and Gas Pipeline Network Group, PipeChina, has integrated DeepSeek to optimize operations, enhance pipeline safety, and improve energy transmission accuracy. According to Xu Kun, deputy general manager of a PipeChina subsidiary, AI has already produced tangible results. "The time it takes to generate production plans at the oil and gas control center has been reduced from four hours to just minutes, with a 10-percent improvement in accuracy," he said. AI has also accelerated the simulation of gas storage space in salt caverns—from several days to just one hour.
The manufacturing sector is also embracing the AI breakthrough. Telecom giant ZTE has embedded DeepSeek into its smartphones, allowing users to access multiple AI functions within a single interface. Ni Fei, president of ZTE’s Terminal Business Unit, explained, "By integrating DeepSeek, we have developed a function akin to a 'multi-expert system', where each AI expert is responsible for a specific task. Users can access various AI functionalities without having to switch between multiple apps."
In healthcare, hospitals are using DeepSeek to generate diagnostic opinions in seconds, while pharmaceutical companies are leveraging the AI model to accelerate drug development.
The financial sector is also tapping into its potential—using it for market forecasting, risk assessment, and fraud detection, ensuring a more secure investment environment.
Meanwhile, cities like Shenzhen and Guangzhou are incorporating DeepSeek into their government systems, improving data management and public services.
