DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm from China, specializes in developing advanced large language models. Established recently by High-Flyer's co-founder, the company has made waves in the tech sector for its DeepSeek-R1 model. Notably, DeepSeek has developed AI rivaling top competitors at significantly lower prices and computing power.
