Hangzhou DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company from China, 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. Notably, DeepSeek claims to produce 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 advanced AI chips, demonstrating DeepSeek's technological prowess in the global AI race.
