Chinese AI Startup DeepSeek surpasses ChatGPT
The Chinese startup DeepSeek has created a significant stir in the artificial intelligence market, surpassing OpenAI's ChatGPT in download numbers on the App Store. The "reasoning" model DeepSeek, known as R1, was developed in a record time of just two months with a budget of less than $6 million, a fraction of the costs incurred by OpenAI and Google to train comparable systems. This was made possible by the use of less powerful chips—2048 Nvidia H800 AI accelerators.
