When DeepSeek R1 was released in late January of 2025, we held a special AIMX Meetup webinar to discuss its implications with the community in the AIMX Network.

The hour-long discussion was a spirited one and our guests also addressed comments from the community. This episode is the recording of the webinar.

A big shout out to Kai Xin Thia, Head of AI & Analytics at ST Engineering, Andrew Chow, Chief Innovation Officer & Co-Founder of Asia Pro Ventures, and Koo Ping Shung, Managing Director of Project Asia Data, for their time on the AIMX Meetup.
