Tesla will partner up with AI darlings DeepSeek and Bytedance\u2019s Doubao on new tools in its cars in China, according to a document<\/a> uploaded to Tesla\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg reports<\/a> that Doubao will work on voice command-related tools like the temperature in a Tesla, navigation, and in-car entertainment, while DeepSeek will handle the AI side of things.<\/p>\n

The move may be a way for Tesla to boost its Chinese deliveries, which dropped 8.4% from December to June compared to the same time period last year.<\/p>\n

DeepSeek is currently<\/a> used in several Chinese Tesla rivals, including carmakers Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co.<\/a>\u00a0and YD Co.<\/a><\/p>\n

Representatives from Tesla and Bytedance did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

The AI race for domination heats up <\/p>\n

The scramble for Chinese buyers has meant that companies not based in the country, like BMW and Tesla, have had to find new ways to tempt drivers with more tech.<\/p>\n

That has lead them to ink deals with local providers like DeepSeek and Alibaba, which has teamed up with BMW to offer its QWen large language model in cars. DeepSeek\u2019s most recent AI model has also had market watchers sit up and take notice.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile many recognize DeepSeek\u2019s achievements, this represents just the beginning of China\u2019s AI innovation wave,\u201d Louis Liang, an AI sector investor with Ameba Capital,\u00a0told<\/a> Bloomberg. \u201cWe are witnessing the advent of AI mass adoption, this goes beyond national competition.\u201d<\/p>\n

AI fans may love this news <\/p>\n

This may be good news for many AI enthusiasts who were wowed by DeepSeek\u2019s release of its V3.1 model<\/a> earlier this week, a debut which showed a surprising amount of power and range from the Chinese company compared to Western competitors.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeepseek v3.1 scores 71.6% on aider\u2014non-reasoning SOTA,\u201d tweeted AI researcher\u00a0Andrew Christianson<\/a> at the time, adding that it is \u201c1% more than Claude Opus 4 while being 68 times cheaper.\u201d That speed matched performance levels previously reserved for the most expensive proprietary systems, lifting DeepSeek into a whole new level of prestige.<\/p>\n

Tesla cars in the U.S. currently use an AI model created by xAI dubbed Grok. Bloomberg theorizes<\/a> that rolling out Grok in China has hit some legal hurdles abroad, which are likely a speed bump for CEO Elon Musk\u2019s ambitions in the AI race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tesla will partner up with AI darlings DeepSeek and Bytedance\u2019s Doubao on new tools in its cars in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":90990,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[62,276,277,49,48,250,4120,61,5028],"class_list":["post-90989","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-elon-musk","tag-emerging-technologies","tag-technology","tag-tesla"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90989","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=90989"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90989\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/90990"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=90989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=90989"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=90989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
