DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm from China, specializes in creating advanced large language models. Established recently by Liang Wenfeng, the company has made waves in the tech sector for its latest AI developments. Impressively, DeepSeek claims to produce AI comparable to 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 technological prowess in the competitive AI landscape.
