The Rise of Deepseek
A new player has emerged in the field of artificial intelligence, and its name is Deepseek. This Chinese startup, with a team of only 200 employees, has created a revolutionary AI chat model that has gained significant attention in a short span of two weeks. The Deepseek model has not only reached the level of Openai but has also surpassed it in some aspects.
According to experts, the key to Deepseek’s success lies in its unique approach to AI development. “The model learns by interacting with a controlled environment, much like a baby learns to walk,” explained Jaime Pizarroso, a deep learning teacher. This approach allows the model to learn optimal actions without requiring a large amount of data.
What Sets Deepseek Apart
One of the significant advantages of Deepseek is its cost-effectiveness. The company claims to have spent only $5.5 million on developing the model, compared to the $80 million spent by Openai. Additionally, Deepseek offers an open-source model, allowing researchers and developers to modify and improve the technology without restrictions.
This open-source approach has been welcomed by the scientific community, as it enables them to generate their own models using the same method. However, the model is not without its limitations, as it is subject to censorship by the Chinese government, and it fails to respond to sensitive questions related to China, such as the Tiananmen protests.
The Mastermind Behind Deepseek
The brain behind Deepseek’s revolutionary AI chat model is Liang Wenfeng, a 40-year-old developer who has been working on artificial intelligence since his university days. Wenfeng’s achievement has surprised even himself, as he claims that it was not part of his original plans. The success of Deepseek has been accidental, and Wenfeng is now at the forefront of a new era in AI development.
