"But DeepSeek proves we are still in the nascent stage of AI development and the path established by OpenAI may not be the only route to highly capable AI."
How is it different from OpenAI?
DeepSeek has two main systems that have garnered buzz from the AI community: V3, the large language model that unpins its products, and R1, its reasoning model.
Both models are open-source, meaning their underlying code is free and publicly available for other developers to customize and redistribute.
