DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm based in Hangzhou, specializes in creating open-source large language models. Established recently by Liang Wenfeng, the company has made waves in the tech sector for its DeepSeek-R1 model. Notably, DeepSeek has developed AI comparable to top competitors at significantly lower prices and resource requirements. This achievement is particularly remarkable given the US sanctions on China for Nvidia processors, demonstrating DeepSeek's technological prowess in the global AI race.
