Hey there! Have you heard about the latest buzz in the tech world? A Chinese AI company called DeepSeek has made a big splash, and everyone is talking about it! ๐
DeepSeek, founded in 2023, just released its newest AI model called DeepSeek-R1 in January 2025. What’s so special about it? Well, it’s super smart and can think and learn like some of the best AI models out there, like OpenAI’s ChatGPT. But here’s the cool part: they did it at a much lower cost! ๐ก
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt called DeepSeek’s rise a “turning point” in the global AI race. He thinks this shows how important it is for countries like the United States to keep pushing forward with AI development. ๐
When DeepSeek-R1 was launched, it shook up the tech industry. Big companies like Microsoft, Meta, and Nvidia saw their stock prices go down on Monday because of it. But don’t worry! Analysts say this is normal when something big happens, and they’re confident that AI will continue to be a profitable area in the long run. ๐
Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI (the company behind ChatGPT), said that DeepSeek-R1 is an “impressive model.” He even said that competition is exciting and that his company will work to make even better AI models! ๐ค๐ช
This whole event shows how quickly technology is changing and how important it is for everyone to work together. Schmidt believes that sharing ideas and working on open-source projects (which means everyone can see and contribute to the code) can help countries stay ahead in the AI game. ๐
It’s an exciting time for AI and technology! Who knows what amazing things we’ll see next? Stay curious and keep learning! ๐
