Gan guns down two national records
SUBANG: Gan Chen Jie shot down two national records in the Tun Tan Siew Sin Trophy at the National Subang Shooting Range today. The Negri Sembilan shooter amassed 627.3 points in the qualifying rounds of the women's 10m air rifle to break the previous national mark of 627 set by Shahera Rahim Raja of the armed forces in 2019. Chen Jie's effort of 627.3 erased her national junior record of 626.9 set in the Selangor Championships in April. She went on to win gold in the final by accumulating 246.5 points while Nor Alya Aqila Mahathir of Perak (245.7) and Nur Ain Natasya Anderson of Sabah (224.8) took the silver and bronze, respectively. Chen Jie said: "I am honoured to have broken both the junior and senior national records today. It feels incredible to see my hard work pay off. "I hope I can stay on the right track and maintain this momentum to the Sea (Southeast Asia) Games (in Thailand in December)," added Chen Jie, who competed in the World Cup in Germany recently.

DeepSeek spurs embrace of open-source AI ecosystem at Shanghai industry event
Shanghai is vying to create its own open-source artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem, as the success of DeepSeek models have reshaped the landscape of the global AI competition. At the Global Developer Conference, an AI community event hosted in Shanghai over the weekend, open-source developers from around China congregated in a show of exuberance over the possibilities of AI since DeepSeek's resource-efficient models captured the world's imagination. Use cases on display included everything from robotics to virtual reality glasses. "We will further improve the open-source ecosystem, strengthen the service system for open data and open models, and continue building the open-source community," Shanghai Vice-Mayor Chen Jie said on Saturday at the opening ceremony of the three-day event, which started on Friday.

The value of Shanghai's AI industry surpassed 450 billion yuan (US$62 billion) in 2024, according to Chen, with 60 major models registered with the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC). China requires that AI models be registered with the internet regulator before public release. The CAC had approved a total of 302 generative AI services by the end of last year.

"We support the development of open-source communities built on openness, co-creation, sharing and collaborative governance," he said. Open source was a central theme of the conference, which marked the first major industry gathering since the rapid rise of DeepSeek's open-source large language models V3 and R1 in December and January. On Friday, the Hangzhou-based start-up said it would open five code repositories to the public. "As part of the open-source community, we believe that every line shared becomes collective momentum that accelerates the journey," the company wrote on X. The open-source nature of DeepSeek's models contributed to their rapid adoption by developers, cloud providers and other industry players. At the expo, many developers at companies from gadget makers to infrastructure providers expressed support for or plans to adopt DeepSeek's models. While DeepSeek's name was widely invoked at the conference, the company did not publicly participate. Spurred by DeepSeek's success, Shanghai-based AI developer Stepfun recently open-sourced two multimodal models - one for text-to-video generation and another for voice interactions. It also unveiled a plan to release an image-to-video model in March. Jiang Daxin, CEO and founder of Shanghai-based AI start-up StepFun, expects growth in AI agents as models become stronger in reasoning.

"Currently, closed-source models still dominate the large language model market, but that will change significantly in the near future," said Harry Shum Heung-yeung, a long-time researcher at Microsoft and council chairman of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. "I believe China has transitioned from being a beneficiary of open-source to a contributor," he added, calling for more training data to be open-sourced. Qi Yuan, director of the Shanghai Academy of AI for Science and chair professor at Fudan University, called DeepSeek a "victory for open-source" and an example of "inclusive intelligence". The R1 model demonstrated strong reasoning capabilities with limited computing power, he said, and open-sourcing has sped up adoption of the technology, making it easier to gain trust. Qi also emphasised that scientific AI development requires more open collaboration across disciplines.
