DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm based in Hangzhou, 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 latest AI developments. Impressively, DeepSeek claims to produce AI comparable to top competitors at a fraction of the cost and resource requirements. This achievement is particularly remarkable given the US sanctions on China for advanced AI chips, demonstrating DeepSeek's innovative approach in the competitive AI landscape.
