DeepSeek AI claimed during the launch that its DeepSeek-R1 model is as powerful as the OpenAI-o1 reasoning model, which is a broad claim, looking at the fact that OpenAI has put much more money into its AI research than the China-based company. Moreover, DeepSeek AI's use of hardware is also of lower grade than OpenAI's.
Nvidia's basic chips that are legally available to be exported to China were used for DeepSeek's AI model training, according to reports. Even with limited technological capacity, DeepSeek is claiming that its product is at par with OpenAI's, which is even more interesting.
Another big claim that DeepSeek has made is that they achieved their desired results at an incredibly low cost, and the company also made its research and outputs open-source, which could be a massive help for other companies if they wish to adopt DeepSeek's model abilities for their own purposes, that too for absolutely free.
Has DeepSeek launched its AI model? Yes, DeepSeek AI has already launched its AI reasoning models, which are proving to be a massive success in the AI market.
