DeepSeek, a Chinese startup, has emerged as a game-changer in AI by significantly reducing costs while achieving performance levels that rival larger companies like OpenAI. Through innovative techniques, including AI model distillation, DeepSeek manages to train models efficiently on older Nvidia chips, shocking the industry and prompting a tech selloff that erased over $1 trillion in market cap. This cost-effective model challenges the traditional high-investment approach in AI development, signaling a shift towards smaller competitors and raising concerns among established tech firms.
"It's sort of like if you got a couple of hours to interview Einstein and you walk out being almost as knowledgeable as him in physics," data management company Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi told the WSJ.
DeepSeek's seemingly competent use of 'distillation'... has caught the attention of the AI industry, sending a chill down the spines of tech leaders.
