Hangzhou DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm based in Hangzhou, specializes in developing open-source large language models. Established recently by High-Flyer's co-founder, the company has made waves in the tech sector for its DeepSeek-R1 model. Notably, DeepSeek claims to produce AI rivaling top competitors at a fraction of the cost and computing power. This breakthrough is particularly remarkable given the US sanctions on China for advanced AI chips, demonstrating DeepSeek's technological prowess in the global AI race.
