Xiaowuge campus AI assistant
China Agricultural University reported 11,500 users for its campus AI platform shortly after launch
Problem
Faculty and students needed help with research writing and campus information. The university also wanted uploaded papers and experimental data to remain within its infrastructure.
Approach
The university developed Xiaowuge and ran its language and embedding models on campus. The service used a locally deployed DeepSeek-R1 32B model. By March 4, 2025, after more than a week of operation, the university reported substantial use, particularly for research-writing questions.
Results
Takeaway
Local deployment supported access while keeping document processing on campus. Usage figures did not establish improvements in research quality or staff productivity.
