Hangzhou DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm based in Hangzhou, focuses on developing open-source large language models. Established recently by Liang Wenfeng, the company has gained attention in the tech sector for its DeepSeek-R1 model. Notably, DeepSeek has developed AI comparable to top competitors at significantly lower prices and computing power. This breakthrough is particularly remarkable given the US sanctions on China for advanced AI chips, demonstrating DeepSeek's technological prowess in the global AI race.
