ChainCatcher news, Deepseek announced the open-source of DeepGEMM on the third day of Open Source Week. DeepGEMM is a library designed for concise and efficient FP8 general matrix multiplication (GEMM), featuring fine-grained scaling capabilities as proposed in DeepSeek-V3. It supports GEMM for both standard and mixture of experts (MoE) groups.The library is written in CUDA and does not require compilation during installation, compiling all kernels at runtime using a lightweight just-in-time (JIT) module. The FP8GEMM library supports V3/R1 training and inference.

ChainCatcher news, sources say that DeepSeek is accelerating the launch of its R2 artificial intelligence model, which was initially planned for release in May, but is now working hard to launch it as soon as possible.

ChainCatcher news, DeepSeek today launched "Open Source Week," with the first open-source code repository being Flash MLA------an efficient MLA decoding kernel optimized for Hopper GPU, specifically designed for processing variable-length sequences.According to reports, Flash MLA is inspired by FlashAttention 2&3 and the cutlass project.

ChainCatcher news, the "2025 HTX DAO Victoria Harbour Night - Confidence Journey Hong Kong Station" hosted by HTX DAO was grandly held. Sun Yuchen, Global Advisor of Huobi HTX and Founder of TRON, revealed on-site that Huobi HTX has made significant progress over the past three years relying on the community, especially excelling in trading volume and new asset listings. Additionally, Huobi HTX is experiencing a surge in traffic in the CIS region in 2024 and will strongly focus on laying out the crypto market in the CIS region, emphasizing the resolution of user needs in that area to solidify its market position.Moreover, during the "Hong Kong TRON & HTX DAO Exchange Meeting," Sun Yuchen discussed the decentralized stablecoin USDD, stating that various methods have been tried to enhance user returns and improve user experience. USDD focuses on long-term development, with the key being to find the right team and leaders, possessing solid underlying technology and a sound community governance mechanism. During the construction process, it is essential to ensure substantial progress and prevent sudden project collapses due to issues like asset security, as only in this way can sustainable and healthy growth be achieved.Sun Yuchen also revealed that the application potential of AI in the crypto field is enormous, especially in building expert models. Currently, there is an exploration of an AI application based on DeepSeek with a certain level of anonymity, tailored to the characteristics of the crypto field.

ChainCatcher news, the Pando Fund released a research report titled "Decentralized AI Changed by Deepseek," which points out that the narrative of decentralized AI is continuously reshaping. Web3 AI companies can focus on replicating DeepSeek's success while offering new advantages such as multimodality, user ownership, censorship resistance, and privacy. It is expected that the number of projects on the supply side will continue to grow, while consumer-facing projects will begin to compete with Web2 counterparts by building community-participated networks. In the coming year, AI models developed based on a complete Web3 AI stack will emerge one after another.In addition, companies combining AI and crypto are gradually adjusting their strategies to focus on infrastructure building rather than model development. For example, companies in the GPU market like Akash, Render, IoNet, and Exabits have developed sustainable revenue models. Meanwhile, businesses like Grass and Gradient, which allow users to share network bandwidth, have found their market positioning by providing distributed network services to Web2 clients. In inference tasks, the performance gap between small models and large models is narrowing, which means that Web3 does not need to rely on the massive computing power of traditional AI giants and can utilize these streamlined models for efficient inference operations. As this trend develops, we may see more inference endpoints driven by decentralized computing networks in the future.

ChainCatcher message, the latest data from the data analysis platform QuestMobile shows that since its launch until February 9, the cumulative downloads of DeepSeekApp have exceeded 110 million, with a peak of nearly 97 million weekly active users.

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, Baidu Search has fully launched the DeepSeek full version and is providing online services. Within just 1 hour of opening on the PC side, over ten million users have already used it.Compared to other products that integrate DeepSeek, users can experience it by clicking "AI Search DeepSeek Full Version" below the search box on the Baidu Search homepage. It is worth noting that Baidu Search has integrated the DeepSeek full version this time, which combines Baidu's online search capabilities and features enhanced retrieval technologies like RAG, making it easier for users to obtain updated and less misleading information.

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, Weibo Zhiso has integrated DeepSeek and is currently undergoing internal testing. This integration of DeepSeek by Weibo will not only help improve the quality and experience of Weibo search but also provide users with intelligent services in more scenarios.

ChainCatcher news, according to The Information, DeepSeek has not yet raised external funding, partly to avoid pressure from investors to commercialize its products too quickly.However, sources familiar with internal discussions revealed that since the company's AI chatbot application became an overnight sensation a few weeks ago, it has considered external financing due to the need for more AI chips and servers to cope with the rapidly growing usage and support model development. According to insiders, in addition to discussing whether to seek funding, executives at DeepSeek and its hedge fund parent company, Huanfang Quantitative, are also debating whether to shift focus from primarily research to building a business that can generate substantial revenue and ultimately achieve profitability.It is reported that DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng remains cautious about external fundraising.

ChainCatcher news, according to market news, DeepSeek is considering external financing for the first time.

ChainCatcher news, Huobi HTX global advisor and TRON founder Justin Sun was invited to attend the Hong Kong Consensus Conference's roundtable forum themed "Unlocking DeFi for the Masses: A Dialogue with World Liberty Financial and TRON." He stated that over the past five years, the entire crypto industry has spent a significant amount of time and effort to integrate into the mainstream financial world. The role of WLFI in connecting traditional finance with cryptocurrency and the Trump administration's supportive stance on cryptocurrency are what the industry needs, which is why the collaboration with WLFI has been swift and smooth.Regarding the current Meme market, Justin Sun mentioned that Meme coins are the future of cryptocurrency but need to be operated in the right way. "Recently, we have seen some Meme coins experience significant price drops, one reason being that they were not launched in the correct manner. The most successful Meme coins, such as Dogecoin and Shiba, have developed from communities rather than being overvalued at launch. Currently, many Meme coins are being launched at high valuations through VC investments, leading to price crashes and a loss of market trust."Justin Sun also revealed future development plans during the forum:The decentralized stablecoin USDD currently has a market value of $200 million, with plans to double its market value in the short term. Meanwhile, it will continue to offer a high yield return of 20%, with ongoing monitoring and optimization.The potential for the combination of AI and blockchain is enormous, with plans to launch an AI product based on DeepSeek in Q2 2025.

ChainCatcher message, at the Consensus Hong Kong 2025 conference, TRON co-founder Justin Sun stated: "I believe Hong Kong will be the center of cryptocurrency in Asia in the future. Over the past 5 years, the crypto space has been building mainstream products, and TRON has become the largest stablecoin trading network. Compared to other tokens, TRON itself is in a contraction state, and the network is performing very healthily. The changes in regulation in recent years have been very positive, and we have done well in compliance. This year we developed an AI product based on DeepSeek, which will be released soon."
