China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) has started using the recently released Chinese AI tool 'DeepSeek' for non-combat support functions, especially in military hospitals, to assist the doctors in devising treatment plans besides other civilian areas, media reports said.
DeepSeek's open-source large language models (LLMs) are being used in PLA hospitals, People's Armed Police (PAP), and national defence mobilisation organs, the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported on Sunday.
Earlier this month, the general hospital of the PLA Central Theatre Command announced that it had authorised embedded deployment of DeepSeek's R1-70B LLM, saying it could provide treatment plan suggestions to support doctors, according to the Post.
