DeepSeek\u2019s AI models, which were trained using compute-efficient techniques,\u00a0have led Wall Street analysts\u00a0\u2014\u00a0and technologists\u00a0\u2014 to question whether the U.S. can maintain its lead in the AI race and whether the demand for AI chips will sustain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But where did DeepSeek come from, and how did it rise to international fame so quickly?<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-deepseek-s-trader-origins\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DeepSeeks_trader_origins\"><\/span>DeepSeek\u2019s trader origins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DeepSeek is backed by High-Flyer Capital Management, a Chinese quantitative hedge fund that uses AI to inform its trading decisions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI enthusiast Liang Wenfeng co-founded High-Flyer in 2015. Wenfeng, who reportedly began dabbling in trading while a student at Zhejiang University, launched High-Flyer Capital Management as a hedge fund in 2019 focused on developing and deploying AI algorithms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2023, High-Flyer started DeepSeek as a lab dedicated to researching AI tools separate from its financial business. With High-Flyer as one of its investors, the lab spun off into its own company, also called DeepSeek.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From day one, DeepSeek built its own data center clusters for model training. But like other AI companies in China, DeepSeek has been affected by U.S. export bans on hardware. To train one of its more recent models, the company was forced to use Nvidia H800 chips, a less-powerful version of a chip, the H100, available to U.S. companies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DeepSeek\u2019s technical team is said to skew young. The company <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/tech\/tech-trends\/article\/3293050\/meet-deepseek-chinese-start-changing-how-ai-models-are-trained\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">reportedly aggressively recruits<\/a> doctorate AI researchers from top Chinese universities. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/23\/technology\/deepseek-china-ai-chips.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">DeepSeek also hires people without any computer science background<\/a> to help its tech better understand a wide range of subjects, per The New York Times.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-deepseek-s-strong-models\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DeepSeeks_strong_models\"><\/span>DeepSeek\u2019s strong models<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DeepSeek unveiled its first set of models \u2014 DeepSeek Coder, DeepSeek LLM, and DeepSeek Chat \u2014 in November 2023. But it wasn\u2019t until last spring, when the startup released its next-gen DeepSeek-V2 family of models, that the AI industry started to take notice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DeepSeek-V2, a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>-purpose text- and image-analyzing system, performed well in various AI benchmarks \u2014 and was far cheaper to run than comparable models at the time. It forced DeepSeek\u2019s domestic competition, including ByteDance and Alibaba, to cut the usage prices for some of their models, and make others completely free.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DeepSeek-V3, launched in December 2024, only added to DeepSeek\u2019s notoriety.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to DeepSeek\u2019s internal benchmark testing, DeepSeek V3 outperforms both downloadable, openly available models like Meta\u2019s\u00a0Llama and \u201cclosed\u201d models that can only be accessed through an API, like OpenAI\u2019s GPT-4o. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Equally impressive is DeepSeek\u2019s R1 \u201creasoning\u201d model. Released in January, DeepSeek claims R1 performs as well as OpenAI\u2019s\u00a0o1\u00a0model on key benchmarks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being a reasoning model, R1 effectively fact-checks itself, which\u00a0helps it to avoid some of the\u00a0pitfalls\u00a0that normally <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> up models. Reasoning models take a little longer \u2014 usually seconds to minutes longer \u2014 to arrive at solutions compared to a typical non-reasoning model. The upside is that they tend to be more reliable in domains such as physics, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a>, and math.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a downside to R1, DeepSeek V3, and DeepSeek\u2019s other models, however. Being Chinese-developed AI, they\u2019re subject to\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/10975044-f194-4513-857b-e17491d2a9e9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">benchmarking<\/a>\u00a0by China\u2019s internet regulator to ensure that its responses \u201cembody core <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a>ist values.\u201d In DeepSeek\u2019s chatbot app, for example, R1 won\u2019t answer questions about Tiananmen Square or Taiwan\u2019s autonomy.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-disruptive-approach\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_disruptive_approach\"><\/span>A disruptive approach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If DeepSeek has a business model, it\u2019s not clear what that model is, exactly. The company prices its products and services well below market value \u2014 and gives others away for free.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The way DeepSeek tells it, efficiency breakthroughs have enabled it to maintain extreme cost competitiveness. Some experts <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/firstadopter\/status\/1884009045461520602\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">dispute<\/a> the figures the company has supplied, however.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whatever the case may be, developers have taken to DeepSeek\u2019s models, which aren\u2019t open source as the phrase is commonly understood but are available under permissive licenses that allow for commercial use. According to Clem Delangue, the CEO of Hugging Face, one of the platforms hosting DeepSeek\u2019s models, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ClementDelangue\/status\/1883946119723708764\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">developers on Hugging Face have created over 500 \u201cderivative\u201d models of R1<\/a> that have racked up 2.5 million downloads combined.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DeepSeek\u2019s success against larger and more established rivals has been <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/27\/technology\/what-is-deepseek-china-ai.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">described as \u201cupending AI\u201d<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/DeepSeek#cite_note-13\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">ushering in \u201ca new era of AI brinkmanship.\u201d<\/a> The company\u2019s success was at least in part responsible for causing Nvidia\u2019s stock price to drop by 18% on Monday, and for <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-01-28\/sam-altman-praises-deepseek-r1-and-promises-more-from-openai?embedded-checkout=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">eliciting a public response<\/a> from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for what DeepSeek\u2019s future might hold, it\u2019s not clear. Improved models are a given. But the U.S. government appears to be <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/deepseek-ai-raises-national-security-concerns-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">growing wary of what it perceives as harmful foreign influence<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>TechCrunch has an AI-focused <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>letter!\u00a0Sign up here\u00a0to get it in your inbox every Wednesday.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
