DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm from China, specializes in creating advanced large language models. Established recently by Liang Wenfeng, the company has gained attention in the tech sector for its DeepSeek-R1 model. Impressively, DeepSeek claims to produce AI rivaling top competitors 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 technological prowess in the global AI race.
