Hangzhou DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company from China, focuses on creating open-source large language models. Established recently by Liang Wenfeng, the company has gained attention in the AI industry for its DeepSeek-R1 model. Notably, DeepSeek claims to produce AI rivaling leading models like GPT-4 at a fraction of the cost and resource requirements. This achievement is particularly noteworthy given the US sanctions on China for advanced AI chips, demonstrating DeepSeek's innovative approach in the competitive AI landscape.
