This AI Assistant is powered by the V3 model developed by DeepSeek and is considered to be the most innovative closed-source model, which has gained much popularity since its official launch on January 10.
"Tops the leaderboard among open-source models and rivals the most advanced closed-source models globally.”, as its creators state.
DeepSeek is an artificial intelligence las based in China that focuses more on developing open-source large language models. All artificial intelligence models, including OpenAI’s ChatGPT and DeepSeek, need advanced and modern chips in order to support their AI training. Since 2021, the Biden administration has expanded the bans to restrict the export of these chips to China in order to prevent their use in training various AI models by Chinese-based firms.
However, it should be mentioned that researchers from DeepSeek have recently written in a paper that the V3 model from the Chinese startup has used the Nvidia H800 chips for training the AI assistant. It seems that the startup has spent less than $6 million to use the Nvidia advanced chips.
This claim has indeed been disputed, but the chips used by DeepSeek have been declared to be less powerful compared to Nvidia’s most advanced products, which were targeted by the U.S. export restrictions. However, the low training costs made the U.S. tech executives question if these tech export controls are really effective.
We don’t know many details about the DeepSeek startup, but we know for sure that is located in Hangzhou, an eastern Chinese city, which has become popular based on the focus on tech companies. Founded not long ago, in 2023, DeepSeek is the first startup that has been admired by the tech industry in the U.S. due to the fact that it surpassed various AI companies and artificial intelligence models.
Currently, because of the limited details about the Chinese startup we can’t provide further information but we advise you to stay tuned in order to find out more about DeepSeek’s popularity among U.S. users.
