DeepSeek, a Chinese AI start-up founded in 2023, has quickly made waves in the industry. With fewer than 200 employees and backed by the quant fund High-Flyer ($8 billion assets under management), the company released its open-source model, DeepSeek R1, one day before the announcement of OpenAI’s $500 billion Stargate project .

Insights DeepSeek: The Complete Guide to AI's New Game-Changer (2025) DeepSeek accomplished what many believed impossible, in fact the Sputnik moment for artificial industry. In a matter of months, this Chinese AI upstart has rocked global markets, blindsided Silicon Valley, and forced a reckoning on the future of AI development.

Jan 31, 2025 · While the training costs of DeepSeek's competitors run into the tens of millions to hundreds of millions of dollars and often take several months, DeepSeek representatives say the company trained ...

Jan 30, 2025 · However, DeepSeek's affordability is a game-changer. Developed at a fraction of the cost, it demonstrates that cutting-edge AI doesn't have to break the bank.

6 days ago · DeepSeek claims that their model used Nvidia’s H800 chips, which have more constrained memory bandwith to comply with U.S. chip export controls than the more advanced H100s. Further, they claim that training took 2,788,000 graphic processing unit (GPU) hours at a cost of $2 per GPU hour. The total cost, therefore, is only $5.576 million for ...

Jan 28, 2025 · 2023: The Birth of a Game-Changer. The year 2023 marked the dawn of a new era in artificial intelligence with the introduction of DeepSeek Coder and DeepSeek LLM. These models were not just incremental improvements; they were revolutionary.

Jan 29, 2025 · DeepSeek R1’s open-source nature and focus on cost-efficiency offer a stark contrast to Western AI giants, positioning it as a game-changer in the field of artificial intelligence.

Jan 30, 2025 · DeepSeek’s approach uses half as much compute as GPT-4 to train, which is a major improvement. The size of the final DeepSeek model also means probably over a 90% reduction in the energy cost of a query compared to GPT-4, which is huge. Right now, GPT-4 queries are run on big cloud server infrastructure. DeepSeek can run on tinier, energy ...
