Recently, at the WELT Economic Summit, Tesla CEO Musk expressed his views on the Chinese domestic mockup DeepSeek in an interview. He highly praised the talent and ambition of Chinese engineers, believing that China has many excellent engineers and can create many outstanding products, and DeepSeek is one of them.
Musk pointed out that DeepSeek is impressive, but does not regard it as a revolutionary breakthrough in the field of AI. He said xAI (a AI company owned by Musk) and other companies are rapidly advancing the development of AI technology and are expected to release new models with performance exceeding DeepSeek soon.
Since its debut in December last year, the application of DeepSeek, developed by domestic big model companies "In-depth Search", has attracted widespread attention in the global AI field. The DeepSeek-V3 model it launched has achieved performance comparable to top models such as GPT-4 with extremely low training costs, which has attracted the attention of the industry.
Subsequently, with the launch of the DeepSeek-R1 model, the DeepSeek application achieved remarkable results in Apple's app stores in China and the United States. On January 27, the app successfully topped the Apple app store free APP download rankings in China and the United States, and even surpassed ChatGPT on the download list in the US market.
It is worth noting that Tesla CEO Musk's recognition of the Chinese engineering community not only reflects the strength of Chinese engineers, but also reflects the global scientific and technological community's high attention to China's technological development. In the future, China's influence in the AI field is expected to further increase, and products such as DeepSeek will continue to lead the trend.
