DeepSeek's Innovative Approach to AI Training
DeepSeek, a startup from China, has reportedly developed a large language model (LLM) that rivals American counterparts while significantly reducing training costs—claiming $5.6 million compared to hundreds of millions spent by others. The startup achieved this by utilizing older generation chips and a different reasoning methodology, focusing on efficiency over sheer computational power. This shift in approach suggests that rather than prioritizing hardware, AI development might benefit from innovative model design. If DeepSeek's assertions are accurate, it could lead to a paradigm shift in how the AI industry approaches model building and computational resource allocation.
