DeepSeek R1 outpaced OpenAI at 3% of the cost.

DeepSeek has rattled large AI players - but smaller chip firms see it as a force multiplier.

DeepSeek has not done anything that is a technical breakthrough, their model is less inclusive and tailored to specific businesses which only needs smaller servers and less potent chips. So of course its a boon to smaller chip makers and a cudgel to Nvidia and Open AI scale companies.

Yeah, it has put on the back foot promoters of unlimited investment funding. Sam Altman was once talking about a $7 trillion fund. (LOL).

This I agree with totally, the AI Bros like Altman were planning on building an AI empire only to be taunted by little known Deep Seek using low cost AI chips, while not proven but chances are certain they copied OpenAI chatbot.

Now even Perplexity (a search engine I have been using for quite a while) has incorporated DeepSeek into their search algorithm. I am subscriber to both ChatGPT & Perplexity.

OpenAI tries to "uncensor" ChatGPT.
One of the criticisms of DeepSeek was its reticence on sensitive Chinese issues.
However, it appears that chatbots everywhere have to be mindful of their political environ.

quote:
OpenAI is changing how it trains AI models to explicitly embrace “intellectual freedom … no matter how challenging or controversial a topic may be,” the company says in a new policy.

As a result, ChatGPT will eventually be able to answer more questions, offer more perspectives, and reduce the number of topics the AI chatbot won’t talk about.

The changes might be part of OpenAI’s effort to land in the good graces of the new Trump administration, but it also seems to be part of a broader shift in Silicon Valley and what’s considered “AI safety.”

So I'll be able to ask it if Trump is lying, and get the truth? Are you sure this is a plan to get in 'Trump good graces?'

I doubt the truth, it seems they are aiming for neutrality in response to the criticisms that chatbots have been pro left.
The right is a whining crew.

Chinese businesses rush to try DeepSeek AI at 'unprecedented' scale.

Whining, which is a signal of worse disorder. AI safety will be hard to achieve unless we can also manage AI CEO safety.

DeepSeek founder provides clue on start-up's AI priorities in new technical study.


https://www.yahoo.com/tech/deepseek-...093000947.html

quote:

DeepSeek has signalled its next development priorities in a new technical study, with founder and chief executive Liang Wenfeng among 15 co-authors, that delves on "native sparse attention" (NSA) - a system that is touted to make artificial intelligence (AI) models more efficient when processing vast amounts of data.

The study, titled "Native Sparse Attention: Hardware-Aligned and Natively Trainable Sparse Attention", was published by DeepSeek on Sunday via arXiv - an online forum for professional members of the scientific community - just a day before Liang, 40, took part in a symposium with tech entrepreneurs hosted by Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing.
