What's a deepseek? Sounds like a search engine?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago (6 children)

Deepseek is a Chinese AI company that released Deepseek R1, a direct competitor to ChatGPT.

You forgot to mention that it's open source.

Nice! What are they competing for? I'm new to this AI business thing.

So far, they are training models extremely efficiently while having US gatekeeping their GPUs and doing everything they can to slow their progress. Any innovation in having efficient models to operate and train is great for accessibility of the technology and to reduce the environment impacts of this (so far) very wasteful tech.

Market share, in a speculated market to be in the future.

Come on, OP, Altman is still a billionaire. If he got out of the game right now, with OpenAi still unprofitable, he'd still have enough wealth for a dozen generations.

He's a billionaire based on the valuation of OpenAI, if the company fizzles so does his wealth.

I tried DeepSeek, and immediately fell in love.. My only nitpick is that images have to have text on them, otherwise it complains, but for the price of free, I'm basically just asking for too much. Contemporaries be damned.

The bubble must be repaired. Pump more cash in!

We doing paid promotions or something on Lemmy now? You sure seem to be pushing this DeepSeek thing pretty hard, op.

That's right I'm a huge open source shill.

None of this has anything to do with the model being open source or not, plenty of other people have already disputed that claim.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

It's a model that outperforms the other ones in a bunch of areas with a smaller footprint and which was trained for less than a twentieth of the price, and then it was released as open source.

If it were European or US made nobody would deem it suspicious if somebody talked about it all month, but it's a Chinese breakthrough and god forbid you talk about it for three days

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (9 children)

It has everything to do with the tech being open. You can dispute it all you like, but the fact is that all the code and research behind it is open. Anybody could build a new model from scratch using open data if they wanted to. That's what matters.

This account continuously pushes everything chinese and gets irrationally angry when you mention anything criticising China or Russia. They're basically just a tankie that memes. They're just like any other tankie, except that they're ten times more active than the usual tankie and when they're not tanking, they've got a fairly decent sense of humour in memes.

[–] Sabre363 2 points 2 months ago

Seems a fairly apt description so far, lol
