BEIJING - Chinese startup DeepSeek’s launch of its latest AI models, which it says are on a par or better than industry-leading models in the United States
DeepSeek’s latest models, created by a small company with limited resources, are already beating many of the leading AI models in the United States.
The founder of artificial intelligence (AI) firm DeepSeek, touted as 2025's "biggest dark horse" in the open-source large language model (LLM) arena, emerged as the industry's new face in China at a symposium hosted by Premier Li Qiang in Beijing on Monday.
DeepSeek has boomed in popularity after its successful launch, breaking into the U.S. artificial intelligence market from China.
The recently announced Stargate Project, with its ambitious $500 billion investment over four years, represents a seismic shift in the global AI race.
