Hangzhou DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company from China, specializes in creating open-source large language models. Established recently by High-Flyer's co-founder, the company has made waves in the AI industry for its DeepSeek-R1 model. Impressively, DeepSeek has developed AI rivaling leading models like GPT-4 at a fraction of the cost and resource requirements. This breakthrough is particularly noteworthy given the US sanctions on China for advanced AI chips, demonstrating DeepSeek's technological prowess in the global AI race.
