The Rise of Open Source: DeepSeek-R1 Sets a Benchmark

Huang Renxun specifically praised DeepSeek-R1 at the event, calling it an outstanding example of open-source models that "surprised the entire world," and acknowledged its leading role in the global open-source ecosystem's leapfrog development over the past year.

He raised a thought-provoking viewpoint: The evolution of open-source models has now surpassed the cutting-edge closed-source models of large AI companies, with a lead of about six months. To further drive this transformation, NVIDIA announced that it will not only continue to open-source models but also open-source training data, building technical trust in a transparent manner.

Four Areas Launch Together, Defining the Future Paradigm of AI

In addition to hardware updates, NVIDIA released new models and datasets across four core areas: language, robotics, autonomous driving, and healthcare. Huang Renxun pointed out that the form of AI is undergoing a fundamental transformation:

  • Multimodal Integration: Systems will have the ability to understand various forms of data.

  • Deployment Across Environments: It will match the optimal model for different issues and naturally run in multi-cloud environments.

  • Faster Popularization: AI is penetrating all industries at an astonishing speed.

"This will become the basic paradigm for future application development," Huang Renxun concluded, "NVIDIA is proud to continue driving this transformative change in the world."
