China’s AI advancements took center stage with the rise of DeepSeek and a highly technological Spring Festival Gala. DeepSeek’s resource-efficient AI model gained global attention, while the Gala broke records with a reach of 16.8 billion across media platforms, integrating cutting-edge technologies.
The event featured ultra-high definition, VR, AI, 3D vision, and audio, with humanoid robots dancing alongside humans in “Yangge Bot,” directed by Zhang Yimou. Martial arts performance “The Pen Writes the Dragon and Snake,” featuring Donnie Yen, used a 30-camera array for a “bullet-time” effect. AI-generated content enhanced stage visuals, powered by Alibaba’s Qwen AI, which has now released an upgraded Qwen 2.5 model.
