DeepSeek launches supercomputing internet, pushing AI accessibility to the extreme
As inclusive AI flows into countless industries, an intelligent China is thriving with vitality.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsThis Spring Festival, DeepSeek has become a nationwide sensation. With the open-sourcing of multiple versions including V3 and R1, advanced AI models are no longer black-box technologies accessible only to overseas giants or a select few. The once unattainable pinnacle of high-end AI models has been brought down to earth by DeepSeek, transforming into AI technology that benefits everyone.
Industry-wide intelligence based on DeepSeek relies heavily on readily available massive computing power. Advanced computing service platforms such as the National Supercomputing Internet enable the powerful combination of "advanced models + robust computing power," driving further innovation in AI applications.
Recently, the National Supercomputing Internet platform rapidly launched the full suite of DeepSeek models, including the full-capability version of R1, offering quick-deployment API calls and AI web application services to help enterprises and developers flexibly build customized AI applications.
Advanced algorithmic models combined with universally accessible super-intelligent integrated computing power are turning AI into infrastructure as essential as water, electricity, and gas. A new technological movement accelerating the widespread adoption of AI is unfolding across the country.
The era of mass AI accessibility powered by DeepSeek requires us to understand, explore, and fully embrace it. The first step toward understanding inclusive AI is recognizing why powerful models and super-intelligent integrated computing power were once seen as unreachable peaks.
Without intelligent transformation across countless industries, there can be no national-wide intelligence. Inclusive AI means every industry can access advanced AI algorithms and integrated computing power abundantly and at low cost.
This demands the decentralization of two fundamental AI elements:
First, the decentralization of advanced models.
Previously, reasoning models like OpenAI's o1/o3 were elite technologies in the algorithm field—expensive to subscribe to, inaccessible to ordinary users, and not available domestically. Since the beginning of 2025, DeepSeek has achieved breakthroughs through technological innovations such as Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models and Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) mechanisms, along with novel reinforcement learning training methods, significantly reducing model training costs. DeepSeek R1 has fully open-sourced its architecture and weights, breaking the overseas monopoly on advanced reasoning models and enabling small and medium-sized enterprises to access high-performance AI at low cost.
Second, the decentralization of super-intelligent integrated computing resources.
While DeepSeek improves performance and reduces single-model training demands, widespread adoption across industries will lead to an overall increase in AI models and applications. As described by Jevons Paradox, when resource efficiency increases, total consumption may rise rather than fall.
Productivity tools like DeepSeek, which enhance efficiency through technological innovation, will drive large-scale growth in computing demand. However, current domestic computing conditions show that GPU-dominated AI-specific computing power remains expensive and scarce, insufficient to support the broad computational needs of industrial intelligence.
At this point, integrated computing clusters centered around supercomputers can provide powerful computing guarantees, meeting the demands for large model training, inference, and large-scale industry applications.
Therefore, alleviating computing shortages and cost burdens for industries adopting AI makes the decentralization and democratization of super-intelligent integrated computing imperative. Yet new challenges emerge.
For a long time, supercomputing has been viewed as an elite domain in computing—difficult for ordinary enterprises and developers to access. Key challenges come from several aspects:
First, capability: Effectively utilizing diverse, heterogeneous integrated computing power and aligning it with AI tasks to fully unleash performance requires significant research and engineering expertise—beyond the capabilities of many enterprises and developers.
Second, efficiency: Large-scale, high-concurrency, and stable AI workloads rely heavily on coordination across multiple clusters and centers. This involves cross-center resource coordination, inter-computing connectivity, and computing-network integration—comprehensively testing the operational management efficiency of computing platforms.
Third, service: From AI development and deployment to commercialization, the process is complex and lengthy. Supporting the development of agents, vertical-specific models, and applications requires comprehensive toolchains and ecosystem support. Platforms must shift from merely providing tools ("selling shovels") to becoming full-service enablers—a transformation many traditional data center operators have yet to make.
Industrial intelligence cannot thrive without both advanced algorithms and supercomputing power. Leveraging the vast resources of multiple supercomputing and intelligent computing centers nationwide via the Supercomputing Internet has become essential. While DeepSeek enables model democratization for enterprises and developers, who will bring supercomputing down from its pedestal? The National Supercomputing Internet platform has stepped up.
At a critical moment when DeepSeek surged in popularity and servers frequently crashed, the National Supercomputing Internet platform launched services on February 3rd, offering the DeepSeek-R1, V3, Coder series models, and chatbot services. On its first day, page views exceeded one million.
The integration of a national-level computing platform with DeepSeek has given the public hope of accessing the full-powered R1 version. Indeed, the National Supercomputing Internet platform has lived up to expectations, now offering the 671B-parameter-scale DeepSeek model for enterprise development use.
What enables the National Supercomputing Internet to support millions of visits?
Before DeepSeek's surge, the National Supercomputing Internet had already cultivated a fertile ground for industry-ready supercomputing through meticulous preparation.
On the supply side, regarding basic computing capacity:
The Supercomputing Internet offers abundant resources, connecting over 20 supercomputing and intelligent computing centers across 14 provinces in China. This national comprehensive computing service platform serves as a rich foundation of computing power.
Supported by this abundant, secure, and efficient supercomputing infrastructure, users can now quickly connect and seamlessly interact with DeepSeek through web and mobile devices.
On the application side, regarding enterprise accessibility:
The Supercomputing Internet has accumulated extensive AI ecosystem and deployment experience. The platform currently hosts over 6,600 products, nearly 240 of which are AI model services—including domestic open-source models like DeepSeek and Qwen, as well as international open-source models such as Llama, Stable Diffusion, and Gemma. Its rich model matrix and lightweight tools make the Supercomputing Internet a more efficient AI platform. It also features an open AI community where developers can debug and share knowledge.
Empowered by models, tools, and communities, ordinary users can quickly experience various large AI model capabilities and easily deploy, optimize, and call models—evolving from AI users to AI developers and embracing infinite opportunities in the intelligent era.
At the ecosystem level, regarding ongoing service support:
The professional service teams and ecosystem support programs of the Supercomputing Internet further encourage public participation in AI innovation and help AI startups like DeepSeek grow stronger.
On one hand, the Supercomputing Internet’s professional team can quickly respond to enterprise needs such as custom container services, allowing business clients to focus on core operations without getting bogged down in setting up AI training environments.
In addition, through the "AI Ecosystem Partner Acceleration Program," enterprise users receive incentives such as three months of free DeepSeek API access and a pool of ten million GPU-hour computing resources, empowering more businesses to innovate with AI and potentially accelerating AI adoption across various industries and scenarios.
In short, the Supercomputing Internet has achieved end-to-end integration—from computing supply to enterprise applications and ecosystem support—providing comprehensive, full-chain protection for AI adoption across all industries and pushing inclusive AI to its fullest extent.
DeepSeek's popularity could fade quickly if sustained, inclusive computing access and supply are lacking—resource constraints and service congestion would rapidly erode public and corporate enthusiasm for using and exploring AI. Without widespread AI innovation across industries, breakthroughs in domestic AI would remain confined to developer communities, failing to translate into commercial opportunities and preventing Chinese AI technology from entering a virtuous cycle from R&D to commercialization.
From this perspective, computing power supply is a necessary condition for China to seize the innovative opportunity presented by DeepSeek.
The National Supercomputing Internet and DeepSeek are advancing hand-in-hand, promoting the decentralization of diverse, massive computing power and completing the crucial computing piece of the inclusive AI puzzle.
This spring, the flower of inclusive AI—nurtured by algorithms and supercomputing foundations—is blooming, ushering in a new chapter of accelerated industrial intelligence.
As inclusive AI flows into every industry, Intelligent China is thriving with vitality.
