Progress in AI doesn't always move in a straight line. Sometimes, there are long pauses with little advancement, and then suddenly, a big breakthrough happens, leading to huge leaps forward. Recently, a new AI model called Deepseek R1 was released from China. This model is an open-source LLM. What's special about Deepseek R1 is that it's nearly as good as some of the top second-tier AI models out there but at a much lower cost. This could mean that in the future, we might see advanced AI models being created without the need for huge budgets. The exciting part is that Deepseek R1 is open source, so it's available for everyone around the world to use. I'm not knowledgeable enough to comprehend the impact of this but I believe it has caught the attention of all the big players in the AI field. They're most likely examining it very closely to understand and learn from its approach. PS I use AI to assist my writing. For those interested in my interaction with AI, here is it: Me: Please check for accuracy and rephrase and expand, using very simple language please: The latest breakthrough in AI Progress doesn't happen in a linear way - sometimes there are long periods with no progress and then when a breakthrough is achieved you sometimes get massive progress. Very recently out of China a new open source LLM model Deepseek R1 was announced that promises to be one of these step changes in AI model development. Apparently it is almost as good as the, not very top latest models but the sort of second tier models. The big thing though is that it is significantly cheaper. The expectation is that this approach could be used to develop bleeding edge models at significantly lower cost. The beauty of this is that it is all open source. It's available for the whole world. I'm not knowledgeable enough to comprehend the impact of this, but I think it's safe to say all the leading AI companies are studying this very intensely. Grok: AI's Latest Leap Forward Progress in AI doesn't always move in a straight line. Sometimes, there are long pauses with little advancement, and then suddenly, a big breakthrough happens, leading to huge leaps forward. Recently, a new AI model called Deepseek R1 was released from China. This model is an open-source Large Language Model (LLM), which means anyone can use, study, or modify it.

They're likely examining it very closely to understand and perhaps learn from its approach.
