Tencent Yuanbao Integrates DeepSeek for Answers with Ads, Official Response: Likely Enabled Online Search
Today, well-known popular science blogger 'Three Dads Laboratory' announced via Weibo that Tencent's Yuanbao app has integrated DeepSeek technology and embedded advertising content in its answers. Screenshots shared by the blogger show that in the suggestions and reminders provided by the Yuanbao app to avoid pitfalls, users are explicitly recommended to compare prices and make appointments through legitimate platforms like 58 Daojia, as well as to inquire prices through Kuaihuishou or local legitimate recyclers. These suggestions have been criticized for potentially containing embedded advertisements.
