The US has implemented export restrictions on semiconductor chips to limit China's advancements in AI technology. However, these limitations may have inadvertently fueled the creation of DeepSeek's R1 model, which has made a significant impact in the AI industry. This model demonstrates remarkable performance despite being trained on less powerful chips, challenging US giants like Meta and OpenAI. Analysts suggest that constraints in resources stimulated creativity, leading DeepSeek to innovate effectively under pressure from US sanctions.
The constraints led to creativity in training, resulting in DeepSeek's R1 model outperforming expectations despite limited processing power.
DeepSeek's models were trained with fewer and less powerful semiconductor chips than those used by major US tech companies.
