DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm from China, focuses on creating advanced large language models. Founded in 2023 by High-Flyer's co-founder, the company has made waves in the AI industry for its latest AI developments. Notably, DeepSeek claims to produce AI rivaling leading models like GPT-4 at a fraction of the cost 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.
