The Spring Festival raid tactic of DeepSeek in 2025 has become an industry textbook case. By 2026, everyone has learned this trick. ByteDance, Alibaba, KNOWLEDGE ATLAS, and DeepSeek have intensively released flagship models during the "Spring Festival" period, shifting the focus of competition from purely model performance to "efficiency" and the implementation of "intelligent agents." Analysis indicates that if DeepSeek V4 achieves cost reduction in inference, it will drive AI from standalone apps to being "embedded" in high-frequency applications like WeChat, with Tencent likely becoming the biggest beneficiary

- The 2026 Spring Festival signals intense competition among China's AI giants for market entry, with a surge in flagship model releases this year.  
- Leading players like ByteDance, Alibaba, and DeepSeek are launching multiple AI models to capture consumer attention, with predictions of a "winner-takes-all" scenario emerging from simultaneous releases.  
- While Tencent is expected to benefit most from these developments, the actual market adoption of AI applications hinges on resolving reliability and latency issues during user testing.
