Hangzhou DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company from China, specializes in developing open-source large language models. Founded in 2023 by High-Flyer's co-founder, the company has made waves in the AI industry for its DeepSeek-R1 model. Impressively, DeepSeek claims to produce AI rivaling leading models like GPT-4 at a fraction of the cost and resource requirements. This achievement is particularly remarkable given the US sanctions on China for Nvidia processors, demonstrating DeepSeek's innovative approach in the global AI race.
