Hangzhou DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company 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 AI industry for its DeepSeek-R1 model. Impressively, DeepSeek has developed AI comparable to leading models like GPT-4 at significantly lower prices and computing power. This achievement is particularly remarkable given the US sanctions on China for Nvidia processors, demonstrating DeepSeek's innovative approach in the global AI race.
