Here’s why DeepSeek is making everyone take notice:

  1. Super Smart on a Budget: DeepSeek showed you can make awesome AI without breaking the bank. Their latest model, DeepSeek-V3, was trained for only about $10 million, which is a lot less than the usual big bucks spent on AI, like the rumored $78 million for some of OpenAI’s models. They did this in just two months with fewer fancy computers.

 

  1. Open for Everyone: DeepSeek isn’t keeping their tech a secret. They’ve made it open-source, meaning anyone can use, tweak, and learn from it. It’s like they’re saying, “Come join the party!”

 

  1. Beating the Big Names: DeepSeek-V3 has done better than some top dogs from companies like OpenAI and Google in solving puzzles, math, and coding. This proves you can get great AI results without spending a fortune.

 

  1. Challenging NVIDIA: NVIDIA’s chips are usually the choice for AI because they’re really powerful. But since DeepSeek did so well with less expensive chips, it might make people think twice about always going for NVIDIA’s priciest options.

 

  1. The DeepSeek Crew: The team at DeepSeek is young and smart, mostly from top Chinese schools, with brains in physics, math, and computer science. They learned AI in about six months by themselves! They use first principle thinking, which means they break down problems to the basics and build from there. This has helped them come up with cool new ways to do AI.

  1. Changing AI for Good: DeepSeek is showing that AI can be cheaper and more open to everyone. They’re changing how we think AI should be made and shared, which could shake up the whole AI world.

So, as we watch DeepSeek, it’s clear they’re not just another player; they’re changing the rules of the game.

I predicted that this would be a make-or-break year for all the massive investments made in AI by American VC’s. A few weeks later, DeepSeek happens! Watch the rest of my predictions in my 2025 outlook video here: https://lnkd.in/dYTfwDm4
