Part 5/9:
The significance of Janis Pro 7B goes beyond just a technical achievement. Its release seems to coincide strategically with U.S. market disruptions, suggesting a calculated move by Deep Seek to shake up established norms in the AI space. As deep seeks to grow in influence, major companies like Nvidia and OpenAI are feeling the heat, especially as Deep Seek's app has skyrocketed to the top of the AI category in the Apple App Store.
This shift highlights a growing user interest in alternatives to traditional U.S. models. Nodes of competition are emerging; while OpenAI employs a corporate-driven model that prioritizes profit, Deep Seek seems more committed to redefining the AI race through democratization and accessibility.
