Secondly, the democratization of supercomputing power resources.

While DeepSeek boasts high performance, reducing the computing power demand for training individual models, its widespread adoption across industries will inevitably lead to an increase in the total number of AI models and applications. As Jevons Paradox suggests, improved efficiency in resource utilization may paradoxically increase total resource consumption.

Productivity tools like DeepSeek, which enhance efficiency through technological innovation, will drive a substantial increase in computing power demand due to their widespread application. Considering the current domestic computing landscape, GPU-based dedicated AI computing power is expensive and scarce, unable to support the computing demands of intelligentizing every sector.

In this context, supercomputer-dominated fusion computing power clusters can provide abundant computing power to meet the demands of large model training, inference, and large-scale industrial applications.

Therefore, to alleviate the computing power shortage and cost burden associated with introducing AI in various industries, the democratization and inclusivity of supercomputing power are imperative. However, new challenges have emerged.

For a long time, supercomputing has been perceived as an inaccessible pinnacle in the computing domain, posing significant hurdles for ordinary enterprises and developers. These challenges stem from several aspects:

Firstly, capability. Harnessing diverse and heterogeneous fusion computing power and maximizing its performance for AI tasks requires specific R&D and engineering capabilities, often exceeding the scope of many enterprises and developers.

Secondly, efficiency. The large-scale, high concurrency, stability, and reliability requirements of AI tasks heavily rely on the seamless collaboration of multiple clusters and centers. This involves capabilities such as cross-center resource coordination, inter-calculation interconnection, and calculation-network interconnection, comprehensively testing the efficient operation and management of the computing power platform.

Thirdly, service. From AI development and operation to commercial monetization, the process encompasses numerous links and stages. Supporting the development of agents, vertical models, applications, etc., necessitates a comprehensive tool chain and ecological support, transforming the platform from a mere product seller to a service provider. Many traditional data center operators have yet to make this transformation.

The flourishing of industrial intelligence hinges on both advanced algorithms and supercomputing power. Relying on the vast resources of supercomputing and intelligent computing centers across multiple regions, facilitated by the national supercomputing internet, has become indispensable. While DeepSeek has enabled enterprises and developers to access inclusive models, who will pluck the supercomputing pinnacle's flower for the industry? The national supercomputing internet platform has stepped forward.

Amidst DeepSeek's soaring popularity and frequent server crashes, the national supercomputing internet platform intervened, launching the DeepSeek-R1, V3, Coder series of models, and Chatbot services on February 3. On the first day of launch, it recorded over a million clicks.

The synergy between the national-level computing power platform and DeepSeek has ignited public hope for universal access to the "full-featured" R1. Indeed, the national supercomputing internet platform has lived up to expectations, currently offering the DeepSeek model with a parameter scale of 671B for enterprise development and utilization.

What exactly underpins the national supercomputing internet's ability to handle millions of visits?
