Hey tech enthusiasts! Have you heard about DeepSeek? It’s an amazing AI (Artificial Intelligence) model from the Chinese mainland that’s making waves in Europe! π
Hemanth Mandapati, the CEO of a German startup called Novo AI, recently switched from using another AI model to DeepSeek. Guess what? It only took minutes! β±οΈ He said, “If you’ve built your application using one AI, you can easily switch to others… it was super quick!”
So, why is DeepSeek so special? Well, it’s super affordable! π° Companies are finding that DeepSeek offers the same cool AI technology but at a fraction of the cost. This means even small startups can join the AI fun without breaking the bank! π
Seena Rejal from NetMind.AI in the UK said, “It’s a big step in making AI available to everyone and competing with the big companies.” π
Here’s a fun fact: DeepSeek’s pricing is 20 to 40 times cheaper than some other AI models! For example, while some models charge $2.50 for processing a certain amount of data, DeepSeek charges just about $0.014! π²
Even though European tech companies haven’t had as much funding as those in the U.S., tools like DeepSeek are helping them catch up. It’s like everyone gets a chance to play with the coolest toys! π§Έ
Fabrizio Del Maffeo from Axelera AI said, “This shows that bigger isn’t always better. Making models available to everyone can boost the whole industry.” π
DeepSeek has also become super popular! It even became the top-rated productivity app on Apple’s App Store, beating some big names! π
Some people are so excited about DeepSeek that they’re saying, “We don’t need huge budgets to achieve our dreams!” Isn’t that inspiring? π
And guess what? This friendly competition is making other companies offer better deals too! For example, Microsoft made one of their AI models free for certain users. More choices for everyone! π
So, whether you’re into tech or just love cool stories about innovation, keep an eye on DeepSeek and the amazing things happening in the world of AI! The future is bright! β¨
