Chinese automaker Great Wall Motor (2333) and China's leading telecoms providers are integrating the AI model released by DeepSeek into their offerings, the latest Chinese companies looking to capitalize on the start-up's breakthrough and attention.

Hebei-based Great Wall - China's first listed car maker - confirmed to Reuters it had integrated DeepSeek into its connected vehicle system, which it has branded "Coffee Intelligence."

State-run publication Securities Times first reported the Great Wall development on Sunday.

Separately China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said on Saturday that the country's three largest telecom companies - China Mobile (0941), China Unicom (0762) and China Telecom (0728) - were looking to "promote the inclusive application of the latest AI technology" and were working with the DeepSeek open source model.
