The DeepSeek drama may have been briefly eclipsed by, you know, everything in Washington (which, if you can believe it, got even crazier Wednesday). But rest assured that over in Silicon Valley, there has been nonstop,

DeepSeek—built in two months with a lean team and outdated chips—just dethroned ChatGPT as the #1 app on the US App Store. This isn't just a wake-up call; it's a siren blaring in the ears of every Indian founder,

DeepSeek has punctured the hubris of the US tech oligarchs. It has intensified global competition and will accelerate the adoption of AI tools. Temporarily this could be a case of China innovating and the US imitating. But is it just a spectacular blip or the start of a long-term trend?

The Chinese startup DeepSeek released an AI reasoning model that appears to rival the abilities of a frontier model from OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT.

DeepSeek’s R1 AI model competes with OpenAI’s o1 reasoning model across math, coding, and science on an even playing field at 3% of the cost.

Some AI researchers hailed DeepSeek’s R1 as a breakthrough on the same level as DeepMind’s AlphaZero, a 2017 model that became superhuman at the board games Chess and Go by purely playing against itself and improving, rather than observing any human games.

The announcement confirms one of two rumors that circled the internet this week. The other was about superintelligence.

This new approach, based on natural selection, dramatically improves the reliability of large language models for practical tasks like trip planning. Here's how it works.

Hedge fund manager and entrepreneur Liang Wenfeng built an AI model on a tight budget despite US attempts to halt China’s high-tech ambitions.

The government wants these AI experts to mentor Indian startups and young researchers. Some leading Indian-origin AI experts have shown interest in returning to India

OpenAI’s new model, called GPT-4b micro, was trained to suggest ways to re-engineer the protein factors to increase their function. According to OpenAI, researchers used the model’s suggestions to change two of the Yamanaka factors to be more than 50 times as effective—at least according to some preliminary measures.
