DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company based in Hangzhou, focuses on creating advanced large language models. Established recently by High-Flyer's co-founder, the company has made waves in the AI industry for its DeepSeek-R1 model. Notably, DeepSeek has developed AI comparable to leading models like GPT-4 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 innovative approach in the global AI race.
