DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm based in Hangzhou, specializes in creating open-source large language models. Established recently by High-Flyer's co-founder, the company has made waves in the tech sector for its latest AI developments. Notably, DeepSeek claims to produce AI comparable to leading models like GPT-4 at significantly lower prices and resource requirements. This breakthrough is particularly noteworthy given the US sanctions on China for advanced AI chips, demonstrating DeepSeek's innovative approach in the global AI race.
