DeepSeek in running to power China weather agency’s forecasts, observations

China’s state weather agency is considering using DeepSeek, the local startup whose artificial intelligence model shook global markets last month, to power its forecasts and observations.

The China Meteorological Administration discussed “promoting the in-depth integration and application of DeepSeek” and “continuously improving the AI meteorological model” in a Feb. 14 meeting attended by the agency’s chief engineer, Pan Jinjun.
