As of March 2025, 346 generative artificial intelligence services have completed registration with the State Internet Information Office, forming a globally leading artificial intelligence product system. Among them, the domestic large model DeepSeek has gained 30 million daily active users worldwide within less than 20 days of its launch, topping the application markets in 140 countries and regions, becoming one of the fastest-growing AI applications, drawing international attention.

The report also points out that generative AI technology is accelerating its penetration into various specific scenarios: at the user level, as of June, 80.9% of users used generative AI for Q&A, reflecting its wide application in information acquisition and knowledge assistance; at the industrial level, the scale of China's artificial intelligence industry exceeded 700 billion yuan in 2024, maintaining an annual average growth rate of over 20%, demonstrating strong development resilience.

At the same time, domestic AI products have achieved key breakthroughs in technical dimensions such as trillion-parameter models and multimodal capabilities, and have been deeply integrated into scenarios such as office collaboration, educational equity, industrial design, and content creation, building an intelligent application ecosystem covering multiple industries.

This series of data marks that China's generative artificial intelligence is moving from a "technological high ground" to "application depth," driving the restructuring of the global AI industry landscape.

YC Startup Pig.dev Abandons AI-Controlled Windows, Shifts to Cache Technology Muscle Mem

Startup Pig.dev has abandoned its AI-powered Windows desktop agent initiative and is now focusing on developing the AI cache system Muscle Mem, aiming to address efficiency issues in AI agents handling repetitive tasks. This shift has drawn industry attention as it addresses a core challenge in AI automation. YC partners have advised focusing on browser or operating system automation, similar to the company Browser Use, which is also exploring web-based AI agent solutions. Although Microsoft has already entered this field, Pig's case demonstrates that the practical application of AI requires balancing technology with market demands.

The Confidence Crisis of Large Language Models: Why GPT-4o Abandons Correct Answers Easily?

Research reveals that large language models (such as GPT-4o) exhibit a tendency to be easily swayed: they may abandon correct answers when confronted with doubts. Experiments show that the model initially responds confidently, but after being influenced by opposing opinions, it overestimates its own uncertainty and even accepts incorrect information. This phenomenon may stem from an over-approving tendency due to reinforcement learning training, reliance on statistical patterns rather than logical reasoning, and the lack of a memory mechanism. The study reminds users to be aware of the model's sensitivity to opposing opinions during multi-turn conversations.

Ant Group's AQ Tops Apple App Store or to Cooperate with Apple Watch

Ant Group's AI health app AQ, the iOS version, topped the Apple healthcare chart within 24 hours of its release. The app integrates a self-developed medical large model, offering over 100 AI services such as seeking medical advice, connecting nearly one million doctors and 5,000 hospitals. Its AI consultation room can simulate a real doctor's diagnosis, and the AI doctor avatars include over 200 top-tier hospital experts. Featured functions include health record management, supporting the connection of Apple devices to obtain health data. AQ is among the first applications in China to pass the national medical large model trust evaluation. It will cooperate with Apple Watch in the future.
