In a stunning display of innovation, DeepSeek has launched the R1, an open-source AI reasoning model that’s not just turning heads—it’s literally causing Nvidia’s stock to tumble! 🚀 With a training cost that’s a mere fraction of the industry standard ($5.5 million vs. billions), R1 is proving that high performance doesn’t have to come with a high price tag.
Pat Gelsinger, former Intel CEO and a big fan of R1, took to X to praise DeepSeek’s ingenuity. “Thank you DeepSeek team,” he tweeted, highlighting the model’s potential to democratize AI. Gelsinger’s team at Gloo is already leveraging R1 to rebuild their AI-powered chatbot, Kallm, from scratch—in just two weeks! 😮
But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Critics are raising eyebrows at DeepSeek’s cost claims and its Chinese origins, sparking debates over transparency and geopolitical implications. Yet, as Gelsinger puts it, “Having the Chinese remind us of the power of open ecosystems is… a necessary wake-up call.” 🌍
One thing’s for sure: DeepSeek’s R1 is rewriting the rules of AI, making advanced technology more accessible than ever. The question now is, how will the industry giants respond? 🤔
