- DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company, has quickly created competitive AI models that are open-source and cheap. This challenges the idea that the U.S. has a clear lead in AI technology.
- Their new model, R1, is comparable to OpenAI's best models, showcasing that they can produce high-quality AI without the same resources. It suggests they might be using innovative methods to build these models efficiently.
- DeepSeek’s approach also includes letting their model learn on its own without much human guidance, raising questions about what future AI could look like and how it might think differently than humans.
