DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm based in Hangzhou, specializes in creating advanced large language models. Founded in 2023 by High-Flyer's co-founder, the company has made waves in the tech sector for its latest AI developments. Impressively, DeepSeek claims to produce AI rivaling leading models like GPT-4 at significantly lower prices and resource requirements. This achievement is particularly remarkable given the US sanctions on China for advanced AI chips, demonstrating DeepSeek's innovative approach in the global AI race.
