DeepSeek’s Disruption in the AI Landscape
Last week, the AI landscape witnessed a tectonic shift with the release of a new reasoning model by DeepSeek, a lesser-known Chinese AI company. This remarkable advancement has garnered attention by proving itself comparable to models developed by leading firms like OpenAI, Google, Meta, and Anthropic—but at a dramatically lower cost. DeepSeek's achievement is particularly impressive given that it was built using older, less powerful chips available in China, especially in light of the US export ban on Nvidia's most advanced AI chips.
