Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has launched generative AI models (known as DeepSeek) that rival global leaders like OpenAI, Google, and Meta while offering competitive performance at a significantly lower cost.
DeepSeek:
- About: DeepSeek is a free AI-powered chatbot similar to ChatGPT, providing text-based assistance via web, mobile, and API.
- Deepseek (AI firm) was founded by Liang Wenfeng in May 2023 that specialises in open-source Large Language Models (LLMs).
- Recent Advanced Models: DeepSeek-V3 excels in coding, translation, and writing, while DeepSeek-R1 outperforms OpenAI’s o1 in reasoning, math, and logic.
- Different With Other AI Models:
- Open-Source Advantage: Unlike proprietary models (OpenAI, Google), DeepSeek allows cost-effective AI adoption without licensing fees.
- Advanced Architecture: Uses Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) for specialized tasks and Multi-Head Latent Attention (MLA) for efficiency, reducing training and deployment costs.
- Reinforcement Learning: Enhances reasoning through trial-and-error learning, enabling efficient distillation of large models.
- Real-Time Computation: DeepSeek-R1 displays reasoning in real time, outperforming OpenAI’s o1 in math, coding, and general knowledge.
