Baidu’s management said Wenxin is intended to return to the AI industry’s top tier while the company continues investing in model development. The company also plans to complete a primary listing in Hong Kong by year-end, alongside reporting RMB 31.3 billion in second-quarter revenue with AI-related businesses contributing more than half for a second consecutive quarter.
TechNode, citing Bloomberg, reports Apple may let users choose third-party AI models in iOS 27 to power core Apple Intelligence functions such as Siri and writing tools. If implemented, the change could help address current AI feature limitations on iPhones sold in China by enabling domestic models like DeepSeek and Doubao at the system level.
DeepSeek has made permanent a 75% price reduction for its V4 Pro model, which the source says now leads global “intelligence-per-dollar” rankings. The move signals an adoption-first strategy that could intensify price competition and elevate cost-efficiency as a primary procurement metric for LLM buyers.
Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index estimates DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng’s net worth at $36 billion, up from $16.7 billion. Bloomberg’s comparison focuses on AI model pure-plays, excluding diversified tech groups and non-model supply-chain firms.
