DeepSeek’s R1 model has appeared on the market with performance metrics on par with those of OpenAI’s o1 models, which have, in turn, made the hybrid pricing of the Western tech giants reevaluate the prices. It is such a success story of DeepSeek that it is time for the world users to think again if the high prices for the global brands that people know are actually clicking in with them or even if they are nullifying the brand price equity question, are definitely too high.

On the other hand, LAIDFU is a customizable AI agent, which is just a single point of contact, that radically changes the performance spectrum by integrating the strength of both OpenAI and DeepSeek. With most analysts now speculating about 2024 being the year of GenAI, the line is that 2025 will be when we get the real AI agents, a.k.a. agentic AI.

This increased interest in AI agent technology highlights its potential to change the conventional ways of firm operations. AI has been a game changer in the enterprise resources planning (ERP) field through the introduction of proactive, in-the-moment decision-making tools. It goes without saying that businesses can make use of AI agents in order to optimize their ERP systems for efficiency and streamline processes. Besides, the government of Singapore has set up the EDG program which provides subsidies to the respective businesses for ERP and AI adoption, thus propelling these local firms into a bright, AI-oriented path.

As it is, the country is extending its commitment to various fields, one of which is retail. Retailers are facing the challenge of improving their POS (point of sales) systems, thus the inclusion of AI would be paramount. The firms are running their operations more efficiently and with the help of AI. Equiping them with intelligent POS technologies, AI strategies facilitate the entrance of retail business to a more intelligent set of sell-out solutions.

Irrespective of the firm size, a shift is taking place towards the best way to overt these new AI moves. The rapid growth of GenAI has made it possible to onboard such development without change of command. The AI agents just as well are the core aspect in this tech reshuffle, changing the view of the businesses about the tech stack from ERP systems to the retail spot.

Retailers in Singapore are at the forefront of these advances that are to come. On one hand, their inventory management and sales control will be supercharged with AI technologies but on the other hand, AI is used to revolutionize the overall customer experience. The surge in the adoption of AI alongside the increase in ERP systems investment is starting a new technological evolution.{:P}
