Neural networks are everywhere: the world's first air conditioner with built-in AI is presented

Blog Article

Home appliance manufacturer Midea has announced the first AI-powered air conditioner, which will, of course, be powered by the “thinking” DeepSeek R1 model.

This is a floor-standing vertical air conditioner that can automatically adapt to environmental changes by adjusting the temperature, humidity, and airflow capacity.

Of course, the air conditioner will support intelligent voice control - with recognition and memorization of complex commands.

The novelty is called Midea T6 DeepSeek R1, and the full announcement is scheduled for March 1. It seems that in the near future, we will see a wave of Chinese tech announcements with the DeepSeek neural network on board.

Briefly, what you need to know about Chinese DeepSeek

The Chinese chatbot DeepSeek has gained worldwide attention after becoming the most downloaded app in more than 120 countries in January 2025. And not just in the AI category, but among all free programs, outperforming ChatGPT, Threads, Google, and other popular apps.

This is a conversational AI model that can generate texts of various lengths, search for information on the Internet, and create code - basically, everything its Western competitors do. According to the developer, it cost only $6 million to create. For comparison, OpenAI spent $14 million on advertising for the Super Bowl.

Meanwhile, experts are calling for DeepSeek to be removed from the phone. Key problems include unencrypted data transmission and insecure storage of user data.
