It is learned that in just two months, the global consumer AI landscape has changed. According to the 2025 global 100 generative AI consumer application rankings, the most dazzling is the “dark horse” of China’s generative AI model-DeepSeek, which ranks second in the web rankings, second only to ChatGPT.
Since DeepSeek went out of the circle during the Spring Festival, it took less than two months for the large model to go from obscurity to a blockbuster.
Industry insiders believe that the ranking of Deep-Seek mobile terminals is mainly related to its download applications in many countries and regions.
Manus suddenly appeared and became popular
It is worth noting that after DeepSeek, another product called Manus has swept the technology circle. Similar to DeepSeek, Manus is also from the hands of a Chinese AI team. As a general AI Agent product, Manus is called “Agent’s ‘GPT moment’” by netizens.
It is reported that the amazing thing about Manus is that its benchmark performance exceeds that of OpenAI’s large model of the same level. Unlike large models at the same level, it only needs a simple command to complete complex tasks with your computer.
It has to be said that in recent times, DeepSeek and Manus, as the route of “bottom-level innovation” and “engineering integration” in the AI industry, represent China’s breakthrough in basic models, tearing open the gap in technological hegemony in a low-cost, high-performance, and fully open source manner; and Manus represents the ambition of the application layer, and through productization capabilities, AI will give birth to a diversified competitive landscape.
Looking closely at the development process of this wave of AI, the two AI products have become popular one after another, reflecting the deep soil and strong explosive power of China’s scientific and technological innovation against the backdrop of global technological competition and industrial transformation. In addition to the rapid response of the industry circle, the in-depth attention to the innovative achievements of artificial intelligence has continuously catalyzed the outbreak of application scenarios.
Many experts said that 2025 may be the first year of the outbreak of AI intelligent agents, and the inference large model has emerged with amazing deep thinking capabilities, which will promote an important application direction of artificial intelligence, namely the landing of “AI intelligent agents”.
At the same time, with the iteration of large model technology and the sharp decline in costs, in the face of unprecedentedly fierce competition in the field of global artificial intelligence, more bold investments are made in artificial intelligence chips, data centers, and cloud infrastructure to create better and smarter next-generation models.
Take Nvidia (NVDA), the AI ”shovel seller”, as an example. In the AI wave so far, Nvidia, as the global computing power leader, has benefited deeply because of the strongest certainty in the computing power sector.
WiMi integrates DeepSeek to move towards AGI
Not only that, data shows that WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WIMI), a leading company in global AI open source solutions, is also the case. Driven by the explosive trend of AI computing power, performance is gradually released. With DeepSeek catalyzing the accelerated landing of AI applications, DeepSeek’s large model open source is accelerated to benefit all people, allowing computing power to move from the cloud altar to the terminal of all things.
Among the different vertical fields of AI applications, WiMi’s office, entertainment, education, finance, e-commerce and other AI vertical fields are particularly worthy of attention. For example, in the field of AI+office, AI technology can be widely used in the office field. DeepSeek catalyzes AI technology to optimize workflows, improve productivity, and provide a better user experience.
In addition, WiMi is exploring AGI applications driven by DeepSeek, realizing native-level fusion of multimodal data such as text, images, audio, and video through a unified architecture, and achieving a unified understanding of the complex world. This is an important step towards general artificial intelligence (AGI). Its next move is that WiMi will realize the feasibility of AGI technology catching up through algorithm innovation, which is expected to boost industry confidence.
Conclusion
In summary, it can be seen that with the acceleration of AI applications catalyzed by DeepSeek and the emergence of Manus, the investment effect of AI applications has become more and more obvious. In the application field, the huge domestic market and user base will provide fertile soil for AI application innovation. A number of companies have great potential and ushered in a big explosion of artificial intelligence applications, which is expected to further accelerate the commercialization of AGI applications.
