The release of DeepSeek R1 shatters long-held assumptions about AI
According to the DeepSeek research paper, the project took only $6 million to train, and it performs on par with leading AI models.
The release of DeepSeek R1 — an open-source artificial intelligence large-language model — has caught the world by surprise and shattered long-held assumptions about AI development.
According to venture capitalist Nic Carter, the release of the AI model, which was developed in China, dispelled notions that the country would only produce closed-source AI, and has eroded Silicon Valley’s perceived advantages over global competitors.
Carter added that DeepSeek is evidence that OpenAI does not have an unbeatable moat and that assumptions about scaling, value accrual in AI models, and development costs were also dispelled by the development.
