On February 16, while calling the hybrid model to enrich AI search, WeChat Soyisou recently officially tested the grayscale test and accessed DeepSeek. Users who have been grayscale can search for the entry at the top of the dialog box, see the word "AI search", and click to enter, they can use the DeepSeek-R1 full-blooded version of the model for free to get a more diversified search experience.
Tencent said that a number of Tencent products are exploring access to DeepSeek, such as Tencent Cloud AI Code Assistant, Tencent Yuanbao, etc., to provide users with richer experience and services.
Users can experience the DeepSeek-R1 model
If you're a selected test user, just make sure your WeChat version is updated to the latest version, then look for the word "AI Search" in the search bar at the top of the dialog box, and click to get started. If the entry is not displayed, it means that the grayscale test has not yet covered your account. Please be patient and wait for the next opening, or check back regularly for updates for the latest changes to the search functionality.
Some users tried to ask through WeChat AI search: "How to use DeepSeek's R1 model on WeChat?" The answer is that the feature is in grayscale testing, and is currently only visible to some users, and requires the WeChat version to be the latest version. For users who are not eligible for the test for the time being, the WeChat team said that it is gradually expanding the scope of the test, and recommends that users regularly check for app updates and changes to the search function.
In addition to the experience in WeChat, users can also download the "Tencent Yuanbao" APP, and they can also use the DeepSeek-R1 full-blooded version model for free. This provides an additional option for those who are temporarily unable to participate in the WeChat grayscale test, allowing them to experience the advanced AI search service as well.
