‘This era belongs to AI’; when we say it, we mean it. Nowadays, everything is a search away. From making your timetable by getting help from AI to asking for some skincare tips, these are all just a click away. You search it and get the best answers. With the advancing world, the the need for an advanced chatbot is also increasing. We have just seen Chatgpt-4 and Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok, and in this, we got a new challenger, which is Deepseek AI, Developed by Liang Wenfeng, a Chinese entrepreneur who developed Deepseek in the year 2023 which specializes in Open-source large language model.
What is DeepSeek R1?
Deepseek R1 IS A Chatbot recently released by Chinese DeepSeek which is a Chinese artificial Intelligence Company, on 10 Jan 2025. This does only necessary computing by comparing limited data to accurately explain a given query, unlike ChatGpt, which uses a ton of data to refine and prepare a precise amount of data that takes a lot of space. Deepseek is an open source for everyone and has become the most popular AI Chatbot app to be downloaded on the IOS App in the United States. The app was released on 10 Jan 2025 but surpassed ChatGPT in less than a month.
DeepSeek employs a ‘mixture of Experts’ technique that enables Deepseek to perform only necessary computing, which has helped Deepseek in cost-effectiveness and Space Saving. Due to the increased craze of Deepseek, the market has also fluctuated, which has caused Nvidia’s share prices to go down by 18%. We have already discussed Deepfake’s cost-effectiveness, but what can the price difference be? To think about it, it’s Huge; when we say it, we mean it. The difference between the costs of ChatGpt and Deepseek is even more than 10 times. The Deepseek R1 model has been trained for only $6 million, but ChatGPT’s GPT-4 training alone costs $100 million. To see some of the advantages of Deepseek over any other Chatbot are :
It has been noticed that Deepseek performs better than ChatGPT.
Regarding cost-effectiveness, Deepsek AI is 97% cheaper than any similar system.
It took only two months to complete its training and completion.
DeepSeek is entirely open source, and it has increased its popularity 10fold.
Why is Deepseek AI the Trend?
Deepseek R1 is all over the internet now. We also saw many jokes around the market regarding ChatGPT-4 vs Deepseek R1. But we need to know what made Deepseek so prevalent in such a short time. It has been noticed that DeepSeek R1 is as advanced as Google Gemini or ChatGPT-4, and some have even concluded that it is better. Liang Wenfeng started Deepseek as a side project, which has caused everyone to wonder if such a startup without massive funding can create such an impact. The second thing is its cost-effectiveness. Deepseek’s training cost 97% less than other advanced AI tools like Chatgpt-4 or Google Gemini, where the cost for training ChatGPT-4 was $100 million and $200 million for Google Gemini.
America itself has caused a primary play. Until now, Nvidia’s latest chip has been said to play a significant role in the role of advanced AI chatbots. However, since there were some restrictions on the Export of the Latest chips from America to China, this theory has also faced a backlash. DeepSeek R1 is the latest model by Deepseek, following the previous version, Deepseek R10, which was not so advanced and was taken for granted. However, Deepseek R1 has caused the market to fluctuate, which caused some technology shares to drop. Giants like Tesla and Meta also acknowledged a 1% drop in their share price.
Deepseek R1 has been trained in reinforcement learning and supervised Learning. Let us see what these words mean:
Reinforced Learning: Reinforced Learning is a type of machine learning in which the agent learns from studies and feedback received through rewards or penalties. In this case, the agent has many things to study on its own. It is like giving a child a basket full of fruits and not telling the exact name of the fruit, but the child has to correct the name through data available and punishment and reward.
Supervised Learning: it is a type of machine learning in which the machine learns from labelled data, which means in the above example, the child is provided with the labels of names on the fruits.
What’s Next for DeepSeek?
With the increasing popularity of Deepseek, we may expect it to rule over the market and to see a more advanced version of DeepSeek R1 that would be more advanced with more accurate reasoning.
