🔍 Is DeepSeek About to Change the AI World?
How a Chinese AI startup is shaking up the market and what this could mean for the future of AI.
AI is evolving quickly, and a new company from China, called DeepSeek, has caught the world’s attention. Some experts say their new AI model is just as powerful as the best ones from the U.S., but it was built with far less money and weaker computer chips. This has led to fear and confusion in the market. Is DeepSeek a true game-changer, or is there more to the story? Let’s take a closer look.
What is DeepSeek?
DeepSeek is an AI company based in China. Last Saturday, they introduced a new AI model called DeepSeek-R1. It is one of the largest AI models ever, with 671 billion parameters. In simple terms, that means it has been trained on a huge amount of data and can generate highly advanced responses, just like ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini.
The most surprising part? DeepSeek reportedly built this model for only $5.6 million. That is much cheaper than what companies like OpenAI, Google, or Meta spend on their own AI models. This has led investors to raise questions about how they managed to do it.
