Deep dives

Emerging Competition in Reasoning LLMs

The discussion highlights the emergence of DeepSeek's R1 model, which has garnered significant attention for its impressive performance and lower costs compared to competitors like O1. DeepSeek claims the training cost for its model is around $5.5 to $6 million, and it offers an API that is markedly cheaper for users. This shift in pricing dynamics has prompted OpenAI to accelerate releases of their own models, including O3 mini and O3 mini high, which have shown capabilities in code generation and physical simulations. The introduction of these new models exemplifies a heightened competition in the large language model (LLM) landscape, impacting how companies approach model development and deployment.
