Are you tired of the traditional "data collection + cloud computing" IoT model? Every time a device collects data, it has to send it to the cloud for processing, resulting in high latency, bandwidth consumption, and data privacy risks. This is not the future AIoT should have!
What Should AIoT Be?
AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) should be a truly intelligent system, where edge devices have autonomous decision-making capabilities, instead of just being passive data collectors that upload everything to the cloud. Fortunately, DeepSeek makes this vision a reality.
With its ultra-large-scale Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture, low-power optimization, and cloud-edge collaboration, DeepSeek enables local AI inference on AIoT devices without compromising computational power, significantly reducing cloud dependency. Let’s dive into how this AIoT revolution is unfolding.
Why Do AIoT Devices Need DeepSeek?
Let’s take a real-world scenario:
Your smart security camera detects a suspicious person outside your house. What should it do?
- Traditional Approach: Capture image → Upload to the cloud → Wait for processing → Device executes response (usually takes 2-5 seconds)
- DeepSeek AIoT Approach: The camera processes data locally, identifies potential threats within 0.3 seconds, and immediately alerts the user!
The biggest limitation of AIoT devices is their computing power, and DeepSeek solves this problem.
| AIoT Device Challenges | DeepSeek Solutions |
|---|---|
| Limited computing resources, unable to run large AI models | DeepSeek-V2-Lite Quantized Model, INT8 computation, low-power AI processing |
| Excessive cloud dependency, network latency affecting response time | Edge inference, cameras, smart home devices, and industrial equipment can now execute AI locally |
| Data privacy concerns, user information uploaded to the cloud | On-device AI computation, processing data locally without exposing sensitive information |
| Difficulty in multimodal data fusion, IoT device data remains fragmented | DeepSeek supports text, speech, image, and video, enhancing AIoT functionality |
| Power consumption constraints, AI computing is too energy-intensive | DeepSeek uses MoE dynamic expert selection, only activating necessary computing units, improving efficiency |
DeepSeek is not just another AI model—it is an AI computing core built specifically for AIoT.
How Does DeepSeek Give AIoT Devices a "Brain"?
1. Quantized Inference: Making AI Fit for Edge Devices
DeepSeek employs INT8 quantization, drastically reducing computational resource usage, allowing AIoT devices to run AI inference on low-power chips (e.g., Rockchip RK3588, Google Coral TPU).
| Model Type | Computation Precision | Storage Requirement | Compatible AIoT Hardware |
|---|---|---|---|
| FP32 (Original Model) | High precision | High (requires large memory) | Cloud GPU (NVIDIA A100) |
| FP16 (Half-Precision Optimization) | 50% reduction in computation | Medium | Edge AI devices (Jetson Orin) |
| INT8 (Quantized Inference) | Slightly lower precision | 75% smaller storage size | AIoT terminal chips (RK3588, TPU) |
Here’s how DeepSeek-V2-Lite operates on edge devices:
