DeepSeek's decline? Baidu's Robin Li reveals problem with text-only AI!

Robin Li, co-founder of Baidu, recently shared significant insights regarding the Chinese AI tool DeepSeek, which has been making headlines. He pointed out a critical flaw in DeepSeek, stating that it is losing its luster. At its launch, DeepSeek posed a serious challenge to major tech companies in Silicon Valley. This AI model operates on reasoning-based language, setting it apart from conventional generative AI. Li highlighted this drawback during a recent developers conference. As reported by the Chinese Financial Times, Robin Li explained that a major issue with generative AI models, including DeepSeek, is the declining demand for those that rely solely on text. Nowadays, there is a growing interest in AI models that incorporate text-to-image and text-to-video functionalities. Li characterized these purely text-based models as underperforming.
