China’s cheap, open AI model DeepSeek thrills scientists DeepSeek-R1 performs reasoning tasks at the same level as OpenAI’s o1 — and is open for researchers to examine.
Grok:
"Deepseek R1 has achieved performance comparable to OpenAI-o1 in technical domains like coding, math, and reasoning.
It uses pure reinforcement learning, marking it as the first open research to validate that reasoning capabilities of LLMs can be incentivized without supervised fine-tuning.
The model is fully open source, allowing global access for examination, modification, and further development.
Deepseek R1 is notably efficient, with an architecture of 671 billion parameters where only 37 billion are active during operation.
It has rapidly gained adoption among top U.S. university researchers and companies, signaling a shift in AI innovation towards China.
Deepseek R1's development and release coincide with discussions on China's growing influence in tech and AI, challenging the status quo."
