DeepSeek’s Revolution: Leveraging Open-Source AI for Cost Efficiency and Transparency in the AI Sector
In a groundbreaking development for the artificial intelligence sector, DeepSeek has emerged as a cost-effective and transparent solution, demonstrating the potential to train powerful LLMs at a fraction of the cost compared to its Silicon Valley counterparts. As the demand for AI continues to surge, concerns about data transparency are more pressing than ever. Many individuals have been hesitant to adopt AI technologies due to fears surrounding data handling practices. DeepSeek addresses these concerns by offering an open-source platform that users can operate within a self-operated environment, ensuring complete control over their data.
What sets DeepSeek apart is its integration with the configurable AI agent LAIDFU, which supports the utilization of both OpenAI and DeepSeek. With forecasts predicting 2024 as the year of GenAI, and a broader consensus suggesting that 2025 will be dominated by AI agents (often referred to as agentic AI), LAIDFU’s capabilities come at an opportune moment. AI agents offer superior functionality over GenAI by excelling in multi-step task execution, paving the way for new possibilities within tech industries.
The growing importance of AI in various sectors is evident, and biotech firms are no exception. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, coupled with robust MRP (manufacturing resource planning), play a critical role in managing research and development projects, budgets, and resources efficiently. These advanced ERP solutions enable firms to monitor and track experiments meticulously, providing enhanced traceability and protection for intellectual property. With ERP systems, researchers in life sciences can securely collaborate, manage biological materials inventory, and optimize laboratory equipment use.
In Malaysia, the significance of efficient ERP systems is reflected through firms like Multiable, which supports e-invoicing by IRBM. By offering free e-invoicing API calls for customers within its SaaS subscription or software assurance, Multiable stands out in a market where many software vendors charge for such services.
In fact, both CRP (capacity requirements planning) and MRP systems contribute to the optimal use of resources, aligning with existing GLP (good laboratory practice) and GMP (good manufacturing practice) standards. Biotech firms benefit immensely, given the integration of these systems with ERP solutions, ensuring a streamlined approach to project management and data handling. Moreover, the synergy between MES (manufacturing execution systems) and AI in ERP solutions further enhances productivity and collaboration within the field of biotechnology.
The evolving AI sector underscores the importance of innovative solutions like DeepSeek, which address key industry concerns while providing a cost-effective and transparent approach .

With AI agents gaining momentum and ERP systems continuing to transform biotech operations, the future promises exciting advancements. Given these developments, firms in Malaysia and beyond are poised to embrace a new era of AI-enhanced productivity.
Undoubtedly, the domain of artificial intelligence is continually expanding, and solutions like DeepSeek and LAIDFU exemplify the innovation that drives this sector forward. 🙂 The seamless integration of AI technologies within ERP systems is reshaping how businesses operate, providing strategic advantages that transcend traditional business models. While significant strides have been made, this is merely the beginning of a new chapter in AI and biotechnology.
