The open version of the reasoning model R1 released by Chinese artificial intelligence company DeepSeek has caused huge waves in the global field of artificial intelligence with its low cost, high performance and open source characteristics. The model performed well in AI benchmarks, even surpassing similar models of OpenAI, aroused widespread attention and heated discussion in the industry, and also made DeepSeek quickly become the focus. Its success lies not only in technological breakthroughs, but also in challenging the high cost of AI model development and providing new ideas for industry development.
Chinese artificial intelligence company DeepSeek recently released an open version of its inference model R1, which quickly sparked heated discussions in the technology community. Its amazing breakthrough achievements not only marveled venture capitalist Mark Anderson as "one of the most amazing and impressive breakthroughs I have ever seen", but also showed a rival or even surpass OpenAI o1 in the AI benchmark test. The strength of the model.
What is particularly noteworthy is that DeepSeek claims that its model training costs are only $5.6 million, while leading American companies require hundreds of millions of dollars, which undoubtedly subverts people's perception of the cost of AI model development.
Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan believes that DeepSeek's success will accelerate the demand for AI reasoning, thereby driving the development of the entire industry. Yann LeCun, chief artificial intelligence scientist at Meta, also emphasized that DeepSeek's success is not a reflection of the competition between China and the United States, but a strong proof that "the open source model is transcending proprietary models." He believes that the development of DeepSeek is due to open source research and open source tools, and has promoted the further development of technology, ultimately benefiting everyone.
It is worth mentioning that DeepSeek's AI assistant quickly became popular after its release. As of Sunday afternoon, the app has surpassed ChatGPT to top the Apple App Store free app list, further demonstrating its popularity.
The rise of DeepSeek will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the global field of artificial intelligence. Its low-cost and high-efficiency model, open source concept, and the complex relationship between China and the United States will all become key variables in the future industry development.
DeepSeek's successful cases show that open source and low-cost strategies have significant advantages in the development of AI, and their impact will continue to deepen, promote the wider application and popularization of AI technologies, and change the global AI industry structure. In the future, there will be more and more similar low-cost and high-performance open source models, which will be a trend worth looking forward to.
