DeepSeek, a Chinese AI start-up, has launched its model DeepSeek-R1, a competitor to ChatGPT that is cheaper to develop. This has sparked concern among U.S. tech leaders over a technological race with China. Despite this, the model has received significant praise in the U.S., topping Apple's app store. Its unique aspect lies in its openness, allowing anyone to use and modify its code, contrasting with American companies that restrict access. This could position DeepSeek as both a resource for innovation and a competitive threat to the U.S. AI landscape.
This is a 'wake up call for America,' Alexandr Wang, the CEO of Scale AI, commented on social media.
DeepSeek has made the program's final code, as well as an in-depth technical explanation free to view, download, and modify.
