Two years ago, when large Chinese technology companies such as Baidu and Albaba were chasing Silicon Valley developments in artificial intelligence with great ads and new chat, Dibsic followed a different approach. It’s zero in search.
A strategy that pays off.
The Chinese company has rocked the world of technology with its claim that it created a strong model of artificial intelligence that was much cheaper for construction than the offers of its American competitors.
In the competition between China and the United States for the dominance of artificial intelligence, Dembeic seemed out of nothingness. In fact, it has increased through the technology world in China in recent years through a path that was nothing but a traditional thing.
Its mission is to follow the research mirrors enjoyed by companies such as Openai, the Silicon Valley Company, which was distinguished by an American signing of artificial intelligence in the fall of 2022. But the similarities mostly there.
Deepseek assets in financing, not technology for technology. It was not her mother company, a Chinese hedge box called high mutation, was not a laboratory for humanitarian protection from artificial intelligence like an open AI, but as a company that uses artificial intelligence to make bets in the Chinese securities market.
The high orbit flourishing has flourished by taking advantage of a market controlled by retailers in China, who are known as jumping inside and outside the shares recklessly. In 2021, highly compressed mutations through the organizational campaign in China were found to circulate speculation, which the authorities in Beijing felt inconsistent with their attempts to maintain the calm of the markets.
The high orientation followed a new opportunity that he said is better in the Chinese government’s priorities: Adct AI
“We want to do things of greater value and things that go beyond the investment industry, but they were explained as the speculation of artificial intelligence shares,” said Lu Chuguza, CEO of Alia Company. A new team independent of investment, which is equivalent to the start of the second operation. “
Dibsic was born. As with many other Chinese starters, Deepseek came in a firm market with a different business approach.
The latest Deepseek model is believed to be strong artificial intelligence like American competitors but more efficient. Its success indicates that the progress of artificial intelligence in the Silicon Valley may shrink. The penetration of Deepseek, despite the efforts made by Washington to reduce Chinese access to the advanced chips of the Approach Organization, raises questions about the effectiveness of these long -term controls – although the Deepseek founder has admitted that the restrictions of the chips are restrictions.
Deepseek did not rely on making AI products facing the consumer to obtain revenues, and this month was only issued this month First chatbotAllowing anyone to create text and pictures with simple orders. Instead, the company used the money made by highly trading stocks to ambitious search. The approach is distinguished from our competitors, all of whom are consumer technology companies in the end.
This unconventional approach also allowed to avoid the strict regulations that the Chinese government has placed on the use of artificial intelligence by the public. Since its concentration is the search and sale of companies that use their model – and even the version of Chatbot this month, not consumer applications – their early work did not lead to the same governmental restrictions.
Deepseek, CEO, runs the CEO, Liang Wenfeng, a high -end engineer, studied at the University of Zhejiang in the eastern city of Hangzhou. He has repeatedly said in the few interviews he gave to the Chinese media that to catch up with American innovation, Chinese companies must conduct research before profits. Deepseek and Rightlyer did not respond to the suspension requests.
He said in A. “Chinese technology companies” lacking innovation are definitely the capital, but the lack of confidence and knowledge on how to organize a high density of talents to achieve effective innovation. ” A widely distributed interview With 36kr Chinese technology port.
Those who worked with Mr. Liang described him as a manager capable of a deep technical background, according to general interviews and accounts.
Zhehan Wang, a computer engineer working on the Debceic model earlier, said in reference to the type of character in the Mairez Brezz test, a popular test of the character in China. Mr. Wang said: “INTPS is really good researchers and they are ready to explore,” said Mr. Wang. “It is not one of these people who want to control everything.”
Mr. Wang said that Mr. Liang was not very annoyed by details like Project Timelines, and sometimes I send exciting research questions to think to the entire researchers team. But mostly, Mr. Liang looked driven to enhance technology and did not focus on profits.
Unlike many Chinese companies, which tend to focus on employing programmers, Mr. Liang has gained a reputation to employ people from outside the computing. Training of poets and human science from the best universities in China on Deepseek staff, the model for writing classic Chinese poetry and ACE questions taken from the difficult university admission exam in the country.
“Most of the team comes out of the best universities in China,” said Yinen Zhang, a main software engineer in Basten in San Francisco, who works in Sglang, a project that is not part of Deepseek who helps people on the top of Deepseek system. “They are very smart and very young.”
For years, Chinese technology companies have been a leader in artificial intelligence applications used in computer vision, such as face recognition. But the Openai version of Chatgpt prompted an account. When a Chinese company has not immediately released anything similar, many concluded that American companies have progress in advanced artificial intelligence
In China, computer scientists were determined to prove that they were able to compete. In 2023, many companies in China have released their large language models, technology that supports Chatbots such as Chatgpt.
But making advanced models requires the use of a large number of chips that cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
The highly tunnels were also spending. By 2021, it was only one of a handful of Chinese companies that managed to store more than 10,000 advanced NVIDIA A100 chips.
However, Deepseek’s research gave it a sudden feature. Last year, it reduced the prices made by developers who were building applications using their model, which prompted a war of price with larger competitors.
Mr. Wang, the former engineer who was working in Dibsic, said there is little discussion about the commercial applications of technology they were building. Instead, he said, the company was focusing on making the Amnesty International system that could be used by a group of people for many purposes.
“During my time there, we did not talk much about how to earn money,” said Mr. Wang. “They just focused on making a great foundation model.”
A decisive part of Deepseek’s popularity is that it has made its developers publicly. This type of information sharing, called Open Source, was the cornerstone of the development of computer, internet and artificial intelligence programs now.
In the United States, artificial intelligence researchers and businessmen have long followed Deepseek technology. Last year, the company turned to its heads when it issued systems designed to create its computer programs.
A new challenge for the company may come with its new side mode. On the same day that R1 released the model behind the new Chatbot, last week, Mr. Liang appeared in a round table with Lee Qiang, Chinese Prime Minister.
Jimmy Godrich, the first adviser to analysis of technology to Rand, a federally funded research company, said that the sudden popularity of Dibsic prompted it to the center of the Chinese Communist Party’s efforts to stimulate innovation, and this may be difficult to manage. It is a great dilemma for Deepseek. “I am sure they were not in the five -year government plan,” he said.
“Can they maintain this quiet chaotic vision when the party and the world watch?”
