As we stand on the cusp of a new era shaped by the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), transformative technologies are spearheading a revolution across various industriesAmong the forefront of innovation is BaiSheng Software, a seasoned player with over two decades of experience in the domain of digital retail solutionsTheir ambitious project, the "ShengQuan AI Platform," is now integrating the cutting-edge DeepSeek large language model (LLM) technology in ways previously thought unattainable, offering a comprehensive set of smart retail solutions that are both intelligent and efficientThe company aims to usher in a new era of smart retail, one characterized by a deeply integrated, AI-driven ecosystem.

During the Chinese New Year of 2025, the DeepSeek AI model emerged as an extraordinary development in the landscape of domestic technologyIts meteoric rise is not merely a happenstance; it comes as a stark contrast to traditional large language models that rely heavily on supervised fine-tuning (SFT). DeepSeek stands out because it emphasizes a robust reinforcement learning paradigm, enabling the model to evolve autonomously and verify its results independentlyThis paradigm shift has allowed DeepSeek to outperform several established giants in complex tasks such as mathematical reasoning and programming.

Furthermore, DeepSeek employs model distillation technology to condense the reasoning prowess of a massive 70 billion parameter model into smaller models ranging from 1.5 billion to 32 billion parametersThis significant reduction in computational power requirements paves the way for broader access to AI technologiesThis breakthrough not only dismantles the traditional reliance on high-end computing power but also empowers vertical industries to rapidly develop bespoke intelligent applications tailored to their unique requirements.

The ramifications for the AI industry are profoundThe conventional model, dependent on enormous investments and sophisticated hardware, is being dismantled

The open-source approach of the DeepSeek framework and the slashing of computational costs are accelerating the emergence of tailored AI applications across disparate industriesFor regional computing power providers, this presents promising opportunitiesLikewise, software developers now have fertile ground for innovation and entrepreneurship, while companies can expedite the development of AI solutions that align more closely with their product offerings.

Hellen, the Vice President of BaiSheng Software, emphasizes that the open-source strategy and technological innovations stemming from DeepSeek furnish software enterprises with a low-threshold, highly flexible AI development environment. “The opportunity for intelligent development within domestic software is surging, alongside reductions in operational costsBaiSheng Software is committed to offering operational consulting and smart solutions to the retail sectorUtilizing DeepSeek, we can rapidly incorporate advanced reasoning capabilities into retail scenarios, facilitating business closure for our clients,” she states.

Over the years, BaiSheng Software has established itself as a benchmark in the field of digital practice within the retail industryThe company's strategic pivot to a centralized platform in 2017 has yielded an extensive multi-tiered service architecture designed for large-scale, rapid-growth, and even smaller brandsKey components of this architecture include the E3+ enterprise platform, the E3 full-channel platform, the E3 cloud-based platform for comprehensive retail solutions, and advanced systems such as DATAMAX data platforms and BSEIP technical platforms, all designed to empower businesses effectively in their digital transformations.

Among these innovations, the E3+ enterprise platform has evolved rapidlyBy leveraging the capabilities of large models, it has transitioned into a smart platform, enhancing user experience via the ShengQuan AI PlatformThe platform builds a brand knowledge repository from the customer perspective, allowing for interactive Q&A sessions with intelligent agents that trigger automatic business actions, thus boosting operational efficiency.

Specifically, the ShengQuan AI Platform functions as both the AI application development environment and a comprehensive integration platform for intelligent agent applications

Within this framework lie various intelligent applications built on BaiSheng's standard use cases in the retail sector, including knowledge inquiries, smart shopping assistance, and dynamic data insightsOne prominent feature, the "BaiSheng Knowledge Base," aggregates a wealth of insights spanning retail operations, platform technologies, and deployment solutions, enabling both internal team members and external clients to navigate the complexities of implementation and operational management.

BaiSheng Software’s technical team, after thoroughly analyzing the advantages of DeepSeek, asserts that the integration of the DeepSeek large model, coupled with optimization via small model distillation, will enhance capabilities in data processing, supply chain optimization, smart shopping assistance, low-code development, and safety risk managementThis integration fortifies BaiSheng's platform, aiding in its transformation towards a more intelligent, automated future.

The real-world application of ShengQuan AI stands as a testament to the transition from theoretical AI to practical, scenario-based utilizationAmidst rapid technological advancements and the evolving retail landscape, BaiSheng Software has successfully integrated the ShengQuan AI Platform within its smart centralized architecture across three developmental phases: smart operation, smart management, and intelligent planningEach phase aims to facilitate the automatic functioning of systems, business processes, and enterprises, thus continuously enhancing internal decision-making capabilities and levels of automation in retail organizations.

Prior to full deployment with DeepSeek, ShengQuan AI had already established connections with other mainstream large models, including Tongyi, Doubao, and Wenxin YiyanBy integrating these advanced AI algorithms and models, BaiSheng has made significant strides in converting the notion of AI into actionable functionalities in tangible retail scenarios.

For instance:

• Optimized Intelligent Decision-Making: The platform utilizes reinforcement learning to dynamically analyze inventory and supply chain dataThis allows it to proactively alert users to potential stock shortages and suggest remedial actions, including automated stock reallocations, significantly enhancing decision-making efficiency for businesses.
• 24/7 Unattended Operations: Traditional system upgrades often require human supervision, whereas ShengQuan AI autonomously develops upgrade strategies that are executed without supervision, enabling companies to dramatically reduce human resource costs in operations.
• Barrier-Free Data Insights: The integration of the ChatBI model's "intelligent inquiry" functionality allows businesses to translate complex operational data into visual reportsCompany executives can gain real-time insights into critical performance indicators through voice interaction, thereby improving response times for decision-making.

In addition, the ShengQuan AI Platform is rolling out specialized applications such as intelligent shopping assistants and knowledge inquiry systems to enable new retail staff to quickly acclimate to their duties whilst establishing a cohesive knowledge management framework within the enterprise to significantly enhance operational efficacy.

Hellen and her team are keen to stress that the collaboration between ShengQuan AI and DeepSeek transcends mere technological additionsIt is about crafting self-sufficient, controllable AI capabilities through an open-source ecosystem. “Our goal is to deeply integrate the reasoning capabilities of the large model with the specific needs of the retail business, fostering a replicable and scalable model of smart centralized platforms,” she elaborates.

Looking ahead, BaiSheng Software plans to deepen its integration with DeepSeek through the melding of technology and practical scenarios
