WAIC Perspective: AIGPT and DeepSeek Are Strong, But Fashion Brands Need 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 general tasks. However, he stated that for fashion enterprises, it is much more important to have specialized AI that understands industry specifics: trends, materials, design, and supply chain. 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 simply using powerful general-purpose models.
