Deepsek It seems to have come out of nowhere to throw Wall Street panic. But what do we know – and what is there to know – on the phenomenon of artificial intelligence that comes from China?
What is Deepseek?
It is a Chinese artificial intelligence company whose models, such as the R1 recently introduced for the resolution of complex problems, have obtained high performance assessments. The Deepseek app is currently the most downloaded for iPhone in the United States.
Why are investors worried?
It was widespread that artificial intelligence companies needed expensive chips and computers at the forefront to train systems and this justified enormous expenses by the largest US technological companies, such as Alphabet and Meta. But although Deepseek does not have that financial fire power, its models are even more or less on par with the main US rivals. Deepseek claims to use less advanced chips, combined with innovative models training techniques.
Why does Deepseek rely on cheaper technology?
It is difficult for Deepseek to buy cutting -edge chips due to controls on the exports of the United States, aimed at preventing Chinese organizations from developing an innovative artificial intelligence for military purposes.
Who is behind Deepseek?
Behind the development of Deepseek there is the Chinese Hedge Fund manager Liang Wenfeng: the company was born from the research unit on artificial intelligence of 8 billion dollars, High-Flyer.
Is Deepseek really a disaster for artificial intelligence actions?
Not everyone thinks that Deepseek has shocked the artificial intelligence infrastructure sector. It may have found a way to cut the costs of ‘trained systems, but the demand for artificial intelligence continues to grow and technological companies still need more calculation power.
