DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm from China, specializes in developing open-source large language models. Established recently by High-Flyer's co-founder, the company has gained attention in the tech sector for its DeepSeek-R1 model. Impressively, DeepSeek claims to produce AI rivaling top competitors 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.
