Sounds like the tech bros will have some explaining to do to their shareholders.

It gets even worse for the big US AI corporations, Jiayi Pan, a PhD candidate at the University of California, Berkeley, claims that he and his AI research team have recreated core functions of DeepSeek's R1-Zero for just $30 - a comically more limited budget than DeepSeek, which rattled the tech industry this week with its extremely thrifty model that it says cost just a few million to train. It appears that the DeepSeek model is exceptionally fast at learning compared to other models making it so cheap to train. Good news for all but the big US AI corporations.

When everyone is worried about DeepSeek but you work for a company that’s still stuck in 2005.

Whenever I ask Google AI about the election or Trump, it tells me it can't talk about political figures 🤷🏿‍♂️

Chinese are far more smart and driven. A lot more engineers as well.

Blame our education system.

I wish I could buy a Chinese automobile. I've heard the entry-level models are a good deal.

The advantage is gained by the advances in the organization of super smart engineers may be greater and cheaper than brute force computation. Of so, building the capacity of chips, data centers and power are less valuable.

[@Seven.Heavenly.Sins.666]

DeepSeek invested over $1 trillion to develop the R1 chatbot. It wasn't cheaply made.

Open Source a game changer?😅

[@amerramday]

Techbros want your billions.
