Hangzhou DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm from China, specializes in creating open-source large language models. Founded in 2023 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 significantly lower prices and resource requirements. This achievement is particularly remarkable given the US sanctions on China for advanced AI chips, demonstrating DeepSeek's technological prowess in the competitive AI landscape.
