Recently, WeChat announced access to the DeepSeek-R1 model, which is currently in the grayscale testing stage. Some users can use the deep thinking function of DeepSeek-R1 by selecting AI search in the WeChat search box.Why does WeChat’s AI search function need to be connected to large models? The WeChat party said, "Large models can improve the intelligence and accuracy of search, such as better understanding everyone's search intentions, analyzing and processing complex query content, etc. Based on everyone's needs, we have integrated large models including Hunyuan and DeepSeek into the search scenario to further enrich the user's search experience."
Does the data source for WeChat AI search include the content of official accounts? WeChat said, "It includes, but not only. In order to provide users with more comprehensive and high-quality answers, the current content sources of WeChat AI search include not only rich WeChat ecological content such as public accounts, but also high-quality content across the entire network."
As for, will WeChat AI search use your personal information such as friend circles and chats in WeChat? WeChat said, "No. AI search only integrates public accounts and other public information on the Internet, and will not use users' personal information and related private information."
WeChat also mentioned that starting from today, users who have not been searched by Grayscale to AI, click the search bar at the top of the WeChat dialog box, enter WeChat search, and will have the opportunity to see "Download Yuanbao (Experience DeepSeekR1)" on the page. Through Tencent Yuanbao, users can use DeepSeekR1 full blood version, DeepSeek-V3, Tencent Hunyuan deep thinking model T1 and Tencent Hunyuan general model Turbo for free.
