What is DeepSeek?

DeepSeek is an advanced AI model based on the Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture, designed to efficiently scale and optimize for complex reasoning tasks. The latest model DeepSeek-R1 boasts an impressive 671 billion parameters with 37 billion activated parameters per token, making it a state-of-the-art tool for high-level natural language processing (NLP), mathematical reasoning, and code generation.

How is DeepSeek so efficient?

DeepSeek achieved high efficiency by optimizing its models to operate on less advanced hardware, using fewer and less powerful Nvidia AI chips. This allowed them to develop their system for only about $6 million in raw computing power, significantly less than competitors.

Is DeepSeek better than ChatGPT?

DeepSeek claims its new "reasoning" model compares favorably with OpenAI's models, and it has surpassed ChatGPT on Apple's App Store charts. However, it's difficult to definitively state if it's better overall without comprehensive, independent comparisons.

Is DeepSeek a Chinese company?

Yes, DeepSeek is a Chinese company. It was founded in July 2023 by Liang Wenfeng, a graduate of Zhejiang University in China.

Is DeepSeek open AI?

DeepSeek has open-sourced its latest AI system, meaning it has shared the underlying code with other organizations and researchers. This allows others to develop and distribute their own products using DeepSeek's technologies.

What's so special about DeepSeek?

DeepSeek stands out for its cost-efficiency, ability to run on less advanced chips, and its competitive performance compared to leading chatbots. It offers free access to advanced features that are often behind paywalls in other AI services, and it can articulate its reasoning before providing answers.
