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 DeepSeek-R1 model. Notably, DeepSeek claims to produce AI comparable to leading models like GPT-4 at significantly lower prices and resource requirements. This breakthrough is particularly remarkable given the US sanctions on China for Nvidia processors, showcasing DeepSeek's innovative approach in the global AI race.
