DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm based in Hangzhou, focuses on developing advanced large language models. Founded in 2023 by Liang Wenfeng, the company has made waves in the AI industry 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 Nvidia processors, demonstrating DeepSeek's innovative approach in the global AI race.
