DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company based in Hangzhou, focuses on creating open-source large language models. Established recently by Liang Wenfeng, the company has made waves in the tech sector for its DeepSeek-R1 model. Impressively, DeepSeek claims to produce AI comparable to leading models like GPT-4 at significantly lower prices and computing power. This achievement is particularly remarkable given the US sanctions on China for Nvidia processors, showcasing DeepSeek's innovative approach in the global AI race.
