View on WAIC: AIGPT and DeepSeek are Strong, But Fashion Brands Need an AI That Understands the Industry

At the WAIC (World Artificial Intelligence Conference), a representative of the Chinese company Xuanji Ruolan shared insights on the application of AI in the fashion industry. He acknowledged that general-purpose models such as AIGPT and DeepSeek exhibit high performance in common tasks. However, he noted that for fashion companies, having a specialized AI that understands industry specifics—trends, materials, design, and supply chain—is far more important. Such AI can provide more accurate recommendations and automate processes critical to the fashion business. Therefore, Xuanji Ruolan is focusing on creating vertically oriented solutions rather than just leveraging powerful general-purpose models.
