DeepSeek, a Chinese startup, has launched the DeepSeek-R1, a fully open-source reasoning model inspired by MIT research, posing a significant challenge to OpenAI's dominance in the AI sector. As global powers invest in AI infrastructure—following the US's announcement of significant funding—DeepSeek-R1 stands out with its open ecosystem, enabling developers to customize it for various applications. Experts believe this move democratizes AI and allows countries with less infrastructure to engage in leading-edge AI research, potentially reshaping the competitive landscape of AI development.
We are living in a timeline where a non-US company is keeping the original mission of OpenAI alive-truly open, frontier research that empowers all.
Our goal is to explore the potential of LLMs to develop reasoning capabilities without any supervised data, focusing on their self-evolution through a pure RL process.
This genuinely democratises AI and gives countries who don't have the existing infrastructure a huge leap forward to experiment and be part of the frontier.
DeepSeek R1 has definitely challenged the dominance of a few players in the models and data ecosystem - OpenAI, Google, and Meta will feel it the most.
