DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm based in Hangzhou, focuses on creating advanced large language models. Established recently by High-Flyer's co-founder, the company has made waves in the tech sector for its DeepSeek-R1 model. Notably, DeepSeek claims to produce AI comparable to leading models like GPT-4 at significantly lower prices and computing power. This achievement is particularly noteworthy given the US sanctions on China for Nvidia processors, demonstrating DeepSeek's innovative approach in the competitive AI landscape.
