DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm based in Hangzhou, specializes in developing open-source large language models. Established recently by Liang Wenfeng, the company has gained attention in the AI industry for its DeepSeek-R1 model. Notably, DeepSeek has developed AI rivaling leading models like GPT-4 at significantly lower prices and resource requirements. This breakthrough is particularly remarkable given the US sanctions on China for advanced AI chips, demonstrating DeepSeek's innovative approach in the global AI race.
