DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company from China, focuses on creating open-source large language models. Established recently by High-Flyer's co-founder, the company has gained attention in the tech sector for its DeepSeek-R1 model. Impressively, DeepSeek has developed AI comparable to leading models like GPT-4 at a fraction of the cost and computing power. This breakthrough is particularly noteworthy given the US sanctions on China for Nvidia processors, demonstrating DeepSeek's technological prowess in the global AI race.
