DeepSeek R1 is an open-source large language model integrated across digital worker platform which enables recruitment, sales and research teams to operate more efficiently
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 21, 2025) - Pioneer AI Foundry Inc. (Cboe CA: JPEG) ("Pioneer" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that one of its partner companies, Cykel AI, has successfully integrated DeepSeek R1, an open-source large language model, across its digital worker platform. The integration is expected to reduce the Company's future AI infrastructure costs by up to 96%, with DeepSeek R1 costing just 4% of comparable model rates while matching or exceeding their performance.
Ewan Collinge, Co-Founder & CEO of Cykel, commented: "Just as cloud computing made processing power abundant and fundamentally transformed software, DeepSeek R1 makes AI reasoning abundant and will transform digital workers. The ability to access such sophisticated reasoning capabilities at just 4% of traditional costs unlocks entirely new use cases for our digital workers. While this development is disruptive to closed-source LLM and hardware providers, for application layer companies like Cykel, this is a major step towards abundant, affordable intelligence that we can deploy through our agents. The open-source nature of DeepSeek R1 also gives us enhanced control and security, allowing us to host the models that power our services directly."
The dramatic reduction in underlying AI costs is expected to improve the Company's operating model while enabling additional AI agent features powered by the advanced reasoning capabilities of DeepSeek R1.
Through its wholly owned venture studio, Crowdform, Pioneer AI developed the AI Agent utilized as Cykel's core business. By leveraging a venture studio and technology incubator model, Pioneer AI Foundry develops and scales revenue generating Agentic AI-driven technologies at the intersection of AI Agents and Defi/crypto, leveraging the Solana ecosystem.
Cykel AI creates autonomous digital workers that perform complex business tasks without human supervision. The digital platform puts repetitive tasks on autopilot, enabling recruitment, sales and research teams to operate more efficiently and scale effectively. The Company's first digital worker, Lucy, independently manages end-to-end recruitment processes from candidate sourcing to pipeline management. Cykel's digital workers operate alongside human teams, enabling businesses to transform their operations at scale. For further information, please contact: investors@cykel.ai.
