GuShiio.comAGI reported on February 15 thatgood futureXueersi, a subsidiary of the Group (NYSE: TAL), recently officially released a new Any-to-Ask APP connected to DeepSeek.
“Anytime is an AI education application App and an AI one-on-one teacher application. Users can input questions through images and let AI teachers explain the questions. The latest version has more than 250 million minutes of self-developed explanation videos. It deeply integrates intelligent reasoning with DeepSeek R1 model, provides Socratic heuristic learning mode, supports step-by-step analysis of questions, infinite questioning and intelligent wrong question management helps build a scientific learning system. At present, the app has been open to primary and secondary school students across the country for free, and the Learn and Think App can be downloaded in the app store.
Xiong Zefa, the person in charge of Learning and Thinking, told GuShiio.comAGI at the headquarters of Good Future Group that the latest Any-Ask application App is connected to the full-blood version of DeepSeek-R1671B (671 billion parameters), which greatly improves product usability and not only reduces hallucinations. Moreover, the accuracy of mathematical pure text question results is as high as 97%, far exceeding the teacher’s average accuracy of 95%, which has reached the test result of a real person.
Xiong Zefa pointed out that DeepSeek has brought about a major change. It is not only aimed at the model education products at the bottom of education, but has had a significant impact in all fields. Its technology has been improved from pre-training to real-time reasoning, greatly enhancing model capabilities. R1 has made significant progress in logical reasoning, which has become the key reason for connecting this model now. At the same time, its low cost helps provide free services to users. The open source transparency feature complements the user’s understanding of learning and thinking. It not only answers questions better, but also adds functions such as video assistance and nine-chapter question recognition.
“Driven by the dual engines of learning and thinking professional content and DeepSeek’s C-side scale capabilities, I think now is the perfect time to release the product, which also explains the product’s advantages and differences from other products. rdquo;Xiong Zefa emphasized that as the cost of large models continues to decrease, AI technology continues to iterate every month to improve capabilities. This is the industry consensus. Therefore, he believes that products and services will be free at any time.
Hao Future’s official website shows thatIn 2003, Zhang Bangxin, an entrepreneur born in the 1980s, co-founded Olympiad Network (predecessor of Learning and Thinking) with his classmates when he was a master’s degree student at Peking University to engage in extracurricular tutoring in primary and secondary schools. On October 21, 2010, Xueersi was officially listed on the New York Stock Exchange, becoming the first primary and secondary education and training institution in China to be listed in the United States. In 2013, Xue Ersi changed its name to Good Future Group.
Starting from 2021, Haofu has been fully transformed into a technology company with decades of teaching and research, especially increasing investment in AI technology research and development, and anytime this App has also emerged.In November 2023, the Nine-Chapter Model (MathGPT), which focuses on problem solving and lecture algorithms, was registered, becoming the first batch of educational models to pass the registration.It is fully open, and nine-chapter model technology is also injected at any time.
After continuous transformation and upgrading, we will help turn losses into profits in the future.On January 23 this year, Haowai announced its third-quarter financial report for the fiscal year 2025 ending November 30 last year, showing net revenue of US$606.4 million, an increase of approximately 62.35% from US$373.5 million in the same period last year; The net profit attributable to Haowai was US$23.1 million, compared with a net loss of US$23.9 million for the same period last year. The quarterly net profit attributable to Haowai was US$38.6 million not under U.S. GAAP.
According to Xiong Zefa, compared with the generative model for adults, primary and secondary school learning guidance has more requirements for the accuracy and adaptability of the content generation of the AI model. Therefore, the Anytime App has achieved in-depth optimization for primary and secondary school learning scenarios, including more explanation videos, ultra-high accuracy nine-chapter problem recognition technology, intelligent hierarchical adaptation nine-chapter answer ability, and integrated AI question and answer, AI Photo answering questions, AI homework inspection, AI composition correction, AI wrong question book and other high-frequency learning tools used by primary and secondary school students can achieve one-stop leak checking and learning guidance.
“Our goal is to allow every student to enjoy one-on-one precise tutoring for free. Xiong Zefa said that compared with directly using DeepSeek’s official website and APP, this enterprise-level interface provides a more stable and free dedicated line, and has a special youth safety detection system protects and ensures that the content output conforms to the user situation of primary and secondary school students, so that parents can use it for their children with more confidence.
In addition, Anytime App will still provide nine chapters of model technology. ldquo;DeepSeek’s has always been one of the underlying models of our nine-chapter model, Xiong Zefa said.
However, although DeepSeek’s cost is only 3%-5% of the industry’s, causing hundreds of companies to connect to its model, the price of DeepSeek’s R1/V3 model API is still relatively high:The DeepSeek-R1 model API service is priced at 1 yuan (cache hits)/4 yuan (cache misses) per million input tokens, and 16 yuan per million output tokens.
Therefore, this has also raised a topic, that is, for small and medium-sized enterprises, is the next step after connecting to DeepSeek to ensure their own profit balance or continue to provide services for free? In the direction of AI education applications, the answer given by the Learning and Thinking App at any time is that it will continue to be free, while its competing products are exactly the opposite: payment.
Almost at the same time, the AI education application of Homework Group announced on the 14th that it would be connected to the DeepSeek R1 model and said it would be used without limit. Although users can use DeepSeek-R1 in-depth answering for free, functions such as video lectures, ad-free, and online teacher questions and answers adopt a membership payment model. The price is 25 yuan per month and 233 yuan per year. The current promotion price is 128 yuan/year.
Education is an industry with equal rights. Everyone, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, economic status, social status and other factors, should enjoy equal rights and opportunities to receive education. However, it encounters AI, a high-investment and high-payment environment. cutting-edge technology. Therefore, for enterprises, whether they should consider their own long-term development or continue to allow every student, teacher, and parent to use it for free and continue to provide a better user experience is a very important development issue.
In Xiong Zefa’s view, the development of educational products based on generative AI has just begun. Based on DeepSeek’s open source starting point, the trade-off between price, model performance, application experience, etc. is due to the needs of users. Learn and think about it at any time. Applications The App hopes to provide users with the highest and best product experience, which is something the team needs to do consistently.
In January this year, Alex Peng, president of Good Future Group, told GuShiio.comAGI that Good Future is creating a new education and learning paradigm, and AI has penetrated deeply into all the company’s products. AI is no longer a hype concept, but actually empowers our products and solves practical problems.In the next 5 to 10 years, AI technology has the potential to reshape the educational paradigm.
“Now I have a very strong feeling that this change has begun.& rdquo; Peng Zhuangzhuang emphasized that the future of AI+ education requires everyone to jointly imagine and describe it. This process takes time and will encounter some challenges. ldquo; Although we often regard AI as a very good teacher, it is not an excellent teacher. I prefer to regard it as a partner, a team built by people and AI.” rdquo;
Xiong Zefa admitted to GuShiio.comAGI that as a parent of a child, it is difficult to answer questions from first-grade children and is afraid of making mistakes. AI technology can help parents give their children a better answer, better satisfy their curiosity, and It can solve more problems. This is a growth model brought by AI that a new generation of parents, children and AI coexist.
“This is a very valuable iteration and attempt, and it is also very worth standing here for a team like us and then constantly iterating and doing. In the future, we will use this basis to study and push DeepSeek’s capabilities to the next level. This is one of the next tasks.& rdquo; Xiong Zefa said.
