At Beijing AI-themed bar, DeepSeek tokens come with the pints
The bar uses an AI agent and two Nvidia DGX Spark computers to automate orders and offer free coding tokens to developers.
Song De opened the AI-themed AGI Bar on Sunday in Beijing's Zhongguancun neighborhood, positioning it as a gathering space for tech professionals and developers.
Rapidly growing AI enthusiasm across China prompted the opening, as Zhongguancun's established high-tech atmosphere provides an ideal cluster for internet companies and research institutions.
Comparing AI to alcohol, Song identified three main similarities: 'hallucinations, bubbles and distillation.' Diverse professionals from labs and universities frequent the venue to discuss industry challenges.
Beyond casual service, AGI Bar regularly hosts developer seminars and university research meetups where customers gather to discuss AI-related issues and industry trends.
Capitalizing on massive momentum within the sector, Song positions the establishment as a central meeting point for China's expanding tech community and AI developers.
