Hangzhou DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company from China, focuses on developing advanced large language models. Established recently by High-Flyer's co-founder, the company has gained attention in the tech sector for its DeepSeek-R1 model. Impressively, DeepSeek claims to produce AI rivaling leading models like GPT-4 at significantly lower prices and computing power. This achievement is particularly remarkable given the US sanctions on China for Nvidia processors, showcasing DeepSeek's technological prowess in the competitive AI landscape.
