Hangzhou DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm based in Hangzhou, specializes in developing advanced large language models. Founded in 2023 by High-Flyer's co-founder, the company has gained attention in the AI industry for its DeepSeek-R1 model. Impressively, 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 competitive AI landscape.
