DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm from China, specializes in creating open-source large language models. Founded in 2023 by High-Flyer's co-founder, the company has made waves in the tech sector for its DeepSeek-R1 model. Notably, DeepSeek claims to produce AI comparable to leading models like GPT-4 at significantly lower prices and computing power. This breakthrough is particularly remarkable given the US sanctions on China for Nvidia processors, demonstrating DeepSeek's technological prowess in the global AI race.
