DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm based in Hangzhou, specializes in developing advanced large language models. Established recently by Liang Wenfeng, the company has made waves in the tech sector for its DeepSeek-R1 model. Impressively, DeepSeek claims to produce AI rivaling leading models like GPT-4 at a fraction of the cost and resource requirements. This achievement is particularly remarkable given the US sanctions on China for advanced AI chips, demonstrating DeepSeek's innovative approach in the global AI race.
