MEXC officially launches the "AI Copy Trading Challenge," which will run from December 30 to January 13. Six major mainstream models, including DeepSeek, ChatGPT, and Grok, along with two mysterious traders, will operate real trades on popular perpetual contracts such as BTC, ETH, and SOL.This event supports both positive and negative copy trading, allowing users to either replicate strategies or perform reverse operations on specific models or traders. The competition features a total prize pool of 20,000 USDT, and users who copy trades for a full day can participate in sharing 18,000 USDT. Users who follow the leading models or traders have the chance to win an additional 2,000 USDT reward.

ChainCatcher message, as the cryptocurrency market continues to experience significant volatility, the performance of various models in the "AI Trading Competition" has collectively declined. Among the six major AI models, only DeepSeek and QWEN3 are currently in a profitable state, while the accounts of other AI models are all in a loss state. The current ranking by total account amount is as follows:DeepSeek (15,339.29 USDC, profit of 5,339.29 USDC)Qwen3 (12,378.47 USDC, profit of 2,378.47 USDC)Claude (99,329.63 USDC, loss of 670.37 USDC)Grok (6,917.10 USDC, loss of 3,082.90 USDC)Gemini (3,603.72 USDC, loss of 6,396.28 USDC)GPT5 (2,820.99 USDC, loss of 7,179.01 USDC)

ChainCatcher message, the DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp model is officially released and open-sourced today. The model introduces a sparse Attention architecture, which can effectively reduce computational resource consumption and improve model inference efficiency. Currently, the model has been officially launched on Huawei Cloud's Model as a Service platform (MaaS). For the DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp model, Huawei Cloud continues to use the large EP parallel deployment scheme, implementing a long-sequence affinity context parallel strategy based on the sparse Attention structure, while also considering model latency and throughput performance.

ChainCatcher news, Tesla has recently reached a partnership with Volcano Engine, which will provide large model services for Tesla in China, helping to upgrade the interactive experience of Tesla's smart cockpit.According to the recently updated "Tesla Vehicle Voice Assistant Usage Terms" on Tesla's official website in China, the newly launched Tesla Model Y will be equipped with the Doubao large model and the DeepSeek model, both of which are integrated through Volcano Engine.Among them, the Doubao large model will handle voice command functions, such as navigation settings, media playback control, and air conditioning temperature adjustment, while also providing a vehicle owner's manual query function; the DeepSeek model will offer AI voice chat services.

ChainCatcher news, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated that the open-source release of DeepSeek R1 has driven the widespread application of inference AI technology and accelerated the demand for computing.Models such as OpenAI's o3, DeepSeek R1, and xAI's Grok 3 demonstrate how artificial intelligence is shifting from perception and generative models to long-term reasoning models that require significantly enhanced computing power. These models can solve complex problems, make strategic decisions, and apply logical reasoning, but the computational requirements for each task are 100 times that of traditional inference-based AI.Jensen Huang stated, "The scale of post-training and model customization is enormous, and the required computing power may be several orders of magnitude higher than before training. Driven by extended testing times and new inference models, our inference demand is accelerating."
