Lol Apple trying to be an exception to the norm as always.
They can sell it to India.
Yeah but the question is if it will be able to. Its really hard to achieve that giving the total dominance of these US tech giants who are well entrenched.

Lol I don't think Baidu ever got any single sucess outside China in the first place. They are a dying company and I'm sure the rate things are going they might go bankrupt as they lose the little market share in their own home market and their shares drop.
Baidu will reportedly launch its next-generation AI model in the second half of 2025, according to people familiar with the matter. Earlier it was reported that Ernie 5.0 will have multimodal capabilities, enabling it to process and convert different formats, including text, video, images, and audio.
The release of the model comes at a time of growing competition in China’s AI sector, especially from startup DeepSeek, which rose to prominence by launching an inference model that matched the performance of OpenAI’s GPT at a lower cost.

This is quite interesting, especially for the speed of the process.
IMHO what we are witnessing is a kind of Android moment for Chinese AI.
This is a model Chinese companies know very well already because, apart from Huawei, all the other smartphone companies customize their OS on a semi-open Android.
The advantages in terms of efficiency are clear: base research and training is up to DS, customization and inference to all the others.
Here the bet of Chinese ecosystem is that:
1. DeepSeek keeps improving with relatively short cycles (say few months from one version to the next)
2. DeepSeek keeps the sources open, well documented and free to use
The fact that DS, differently from Android, is a fully 100% Chinese company, IMHO makes the "bet" more reliable. I would not be surprised if somehow big Chinese tech companies got assurance that the above points will be kept also in the future...otherwise this sudden jump on DS bandwagon with the implicit give up of homegrown efforts (with related many $$ of investments already done) is not so straightforward to explain.
This possible split of workload is critical and very strategical in a GPU poor reality like China today in 2025. That's why I'm inclined to guess that there is some form of orchestration going on behind the curtain....the amazing speed and breath of the process is a bit suspect.
I'm not Chinese, so I don't have the cultural background to read too much in that, but IMHO the careful pictured meeting between DS boss and China #2 Li Qiang bears some kind of sign for who can understand it.

It's like Oracle, a retirement company.
Lenovo formally pushed DeepSeek integrating to accelerate many small and medium enterprises in adopting AI.
Huawei Xiaoyi assistant web version is available for everyone and compatible with mobile phone/PCs. Supports R1 Deep thinking.
R1 will also support web searching functions.
I think DeepSeek is going to be crushing Bing and Baidu in web searching in China.
Full version of R1 and V3 is now finally supported on Huawei Cloud and ModelArts Studio
Vivo now formally announces deep integration with full version of R1 in its BlueLM model
SF Intra-city (maybe subsidiary of SF Express?) has integrated DeepSeek in its corporate services for it's customer experiences and such.
Tencent Cloud now support full DeepSeek models in its cloud development environment.
