Recent reports indicated that WeChat is conducting internal testing for the integration of the DeepSeek-R1 large model.
According to media inquiries, Tencent representatives confirmed that while WeChat Search is utilizing the mixed Yuan large model to enhance AI search capabilities, it has recently officially started gray testing with DeepSeek. Users participating in the gray test can see the wording 'AI Search' at the top of the dialogue box's search entry. After clicking to enter, they can use the full version of the DeepSeek-R1 model for free, providing a more diverse search experience.



The function introduction page of WeChat shows that this product involves the provision and use of the DeepSeek open-source large model. The DeepSeek series of open-source large models is provided by DeepSeek company, with special thanks to DeepSeek and the DeepSeek open-source Community for their contributions to the open-source of large models and related research.
The responses from 'AI Search' reference sources include both official account articles and web information, with an option to continue asking questions at the bottom of the page. Additionally, the results from WeChat search have social features, allowing question pages to be directly forwarded to friends or into friend circles. However, currently, this function does not provide access to historical Q&As and cannot support continuous questioning.
