About DeepSeek
DeepSeek is a Chinese AI research lab that shocked the AI industry by producing models that rival or exceed top proprietary systems at a fraction of the cost. Founded and funded by High-Flyer, a Chinese quantitative hedge fund, DeepSeek released DeepSeek-V3 and DeepSeek-R1, which demonstrated remarkable reasoning capabilities. The company's models are notable for their training efficiency, achieving top-tier performance with significantly less compute than competitors. DeepSeek's success has challenged assumptions about the compute requirements for frontier AI and demonstrated that innovative architectures can partially substitute for raw computational power.
