DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm from China, specializes in creating open-source large language models. Established recently by High-Flyer's co-founder, the company has gained attention in the AI industry for its DeepSeek-R1 model. Notably, DeepSeek has developed 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 advanced AI chips, demonstrating DeepSeek's innovative approach in the global AI race.
