Hangzhou DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company from China, specializes in developing open-source large language models. Established recently by High-Flyer's co-founder, the company has made waves in the AI industry for its DeepSeek-R1 model. Impressively, DeepSeek claims to produce AI rivaling top competitors at significantly lower prices and resource requirements.
