A deep dive into DeepSeek's newest chain of though model
Briefly

DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup founded in 2023, has introduced a series of large language models (LLMs) that claim to match and potentially surpass the capabilities of established systems like OpenAI's. The company’s R1 model, based on its earlier DeepSeek V3, leverages advanced reinforcement learning techniques for chain-of-thought reasoning and has shown competitive performance to western counterparts. Despite the geopolitical challenges, DeepSeek has managed to execute this at significantly lower costs, calling the attention of industry professionals due to its operational efficiency and technical prowess.
DeepSeek's R1 reasoning model, trained on 14.8 trillion tokens with 671 billion parameters, claims to rival OpenAI's reasoning capabilities at a fraction of the cost.
The Chinese startup has developed highly competitive LLMs that challenge Western benchmarks, suggesting that AI advancement can thrive despite geopolitical constraints.
