DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm based in Hangzhou, focuses on creating open-source large language models. Established recently by Liang Wenfeng, the company has made waves in the AI industry for its latest AI developments. Impressively, DeepSeek claims to produce AI rivaling leading models like GPT-4 at significantly lower prices and computing power. This achievement is particularly noteworthy given the US sanctions on China for Nvidia processors, demonstrating DeepSeek's technological prowess in the competitive AI landscape.
