DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm from China, specializes in developing advanced large language models. Established recently by Liang Wenfeng, 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 resource requirements.
