Hangzhou DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm based in Hangzhou, focuses on developing open-source large language models. Established recently by High-Flyer's co-founder, the company has gained attention in the tech sector for its DeepSeek-R1 model. Impressively, DeepSeek has developed AI rivaling leading models like GPT-4 at a fraction of the cost and computing power. This breakthrough is particularly remarkable given the US sanctions on China for Nvidia processors, demonstrating DeepSeek's technological prowess in the competitive AI landscape.
