China’s DeepSeek previews new AI model a year after jolting US rivals
Chinese AI firm DeepSeek has unveiled a preview of its new model, DeepSeek v4, aiming to compete with leading models from US-based labs. The company, known for its strong open source contributions, claims the new model achieves top-tier performance on various benchmarks, particularly in coding and mathematics. This release continues the trend of global competition in the foundational model space.
MY TAKE
DeepSeek's previous models were surprisingly capable, especially for their size and open nature. Another strong contender entering the ring is great for the ecosystem, potentially providing a powerful, cost-effective alternative to the big proprietary models.
