DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company based in Hangzhou, specializes in developing advanced large language models. Founded in 2023 by Liang Wenfeng, the company has made waves in the AI industry for its DeepSeek-R1 model. Notably, DeepSeek claims to produce AI comparable to leading models like GPT-4 at a fraction of the cost and resource requirements. This breakthrough is particularly remarkable given the US sanctions on China for Nvidia processors, demonstrating DeepSeek's innovative approach in the competitive AI landscape.
