DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm based in Hangzhou, specializes in creating open-source large language models. Established recently by Liang Wenfeng, the company has gained attention in the AI industry for its DeepSeek-R1 model. Impressively, DeepSeek claims to produce AI comparable to leading models like GPT-4 at a fraction of the cost and computing power. This achievement is particularly noteworthy given the US sanctions on China for advanced AI chips, demonstrating DeepSeek's innovative approach in the competitive AI landscape.
