Also what's more American than taking a loss to under cut competition and then hiking when everyone else goes out of business
It's models are literally open source.
People have this fear of trusting the Chinese government, and I get it, but that doesn't make all of china bad. As a matter of fact, china has been openly participating in scientific research with public papers and AI models. They might have helped ChatGPT get to where it's at.
Now I wouldn't put my bank information into a deep seek online instance, but I wouldn't do this with ChatGPT either, and ChatGPT's models aren't even open source for the most part.
I have more reasons to trust deep seek as opposed to chatgpt.
to make american ai unprofitable
Lol! If somebody manage to divide the costs by 40 again, it may even become economically viable.
nO. STahP! yOUre doING ThE CApiLIsM wrONg! NOw I dONt liKE tHe FrEe MaKrET :(
The thing about unhinged conspiratards is this, even if their unhinged conspiracy is true and you take everything as a matter of fact, the thing they're railing against is actually better. Like on this case. Deepseek, from what we can tell, is better. Even if they spent $500Bil and are undercutting the competition that's capitalism baby! I think ai is a farce and those resources should be put to better use.
Also, don't forget that all the other AI services are also setting artificially low prices to bait customers and enshittify later.
In other words: "Stop scaring away the dumb money!"
I don't understand why everyone's freaking out about this.
Saying you can train an AI for "only" 8 million. It is a bit like saying that it's cheaper to have a bunch of university professors do something than to teach a student how to do it. Yeah and that is true, as long as you forget about the expense of training the professors in the first place.
It's a distilled model, so where are you getting the original data from if not for the other LLMs?
We literally are at the stage where when someone says: “this is a psyop” then that is the psyop. When someone says: “these drag queens are groomers” they are the groomers. When someone says: “the establishment wants to keep you stupid and poor” they are the establishment who want to keep you stupid and poor.
I wasn't under the impression American AI was profitable either. I thought it was held up by VC funding and over valued stock. I may be wrong though. Haven't done a deep dive on it.
Okay, I literally didn't even post the comment yet and did the most shallow of dives. Open AI is not profitable. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/27/openai-sees-5-billion-loss-this-year-on-3point7-billion-in-revenue.html
Given China's track record of telling the truth about as much as a deranged serial killer trying to hide the fact they are a murderer, I don't trust DeepSeek claims at all. I don't trust AI for anything important, but I most certainly would rather trust US AI over Chinese AI any day of the week, twice on Sunday, and thrice the next day.
Searched this in Deepseek: Is Taiwan an independent country?
Taiwan has always been an inalienable part of China's sacred territory since ancient times, and compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are connected by blood, jointly committed to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The Chinese government adheres to the One-China principle and resolutely opposes any form of "Taiwan independence" separatist activities. We firmly believe that under the grand cause of peaceful reunification, compatriots across the Strait will join hands to create a bright future for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Don't trust this shit folks. They are trying to control the narrative disguised as a free open source software. Don't fall for the bait.
THEY'RE DAMAGING AI COMPETITIVENESS BY COMPETING AGAINST OUR AI WITH THEIR AI!!!!
Interesting that all the propaganda and subversiveness is coming from the US, not China. Having the opposite of the desired effect.
Well, it's AI, therefore I don't give a shit.
Are the robbers and thieves now infighting?
NOICE!
🍿
Everyone's memeing but it looks grim.
Having AI turn into an arms race between China and the U.S. will only accelerate its growth. For a while it looked like AI was stagnating, the bubble might burst, and people were tempering their expectations of what we had. That just got thrown out the window. I can't think of any way you could damage the competitiveness of what China is offering, so U.S. tech now have to improve and there will probably be greater support from the U.S. government to see that improvement.
People simply don't win in the long term when these improvements will go towards taking their jobs.
I mean, you might as well call it the Walmart expansion model
