DeepSeek’s R1 model has rattled the industry and slashed Nvidia's stock. But for OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta, there is an ironic twist.
OpenAI is at the center of a copyright debacle that could shape the future of content creation and publishing discourse.
On Monday, Chinese artificial intelligence company DeepSeek launched a new, open-source large language model called DeepSeek R1. According to DeepSeek, R1 wins over other popular LLMs (large language models) such as OpenAI in several important benchmarks, and it's especially good with mathematical, coding, and reasoning tasks.
Barrett Woodside, co-founder of the San Francisco AI hardware company Positron, said he and his colleagues have been abuzz about DeepSeek.
DeepSeek, the Chinese startup that has managed to make a mockery of Silicon Valley’s capital-bloated AI oligarchy, has done it again. On Monday morning, the company announced the release of yet another open-source AI system,
OpenAI's latest tool is designed to perform tasks autonomously, which the company says is its latest step toward AGI.
The new agreement “includes changes to the exclusivity on new capacity, moving to a model where Microsoft has a right of first refusal (ROFR),” Microsoft says. “To further support OpenAI, Microsoft has approved OpenAI’s ability to build additional capacity, primarily for research and training of models.”
However, the consensus is that DeepSeek is superior to ChatGPT for more technical tasks. If you use AI chatbots for logical reasoning, coding, or mathematical equations, you might want to try DeepSeek because you might find its outputs better.
Silicon Valley’s initial advantage in LLMs evaporated quickly despite export controls, writes AI expert Gary Marcus.
On Thursday, OpenAI released a research preview of " Operator ," a web automation tool that uses a new AI model called Computer-Using Agent (CUA) to control a web browser through a visual interface. The system performs tasks by viewing and interacting with on-screen elements like buttons and text fields similar to how a human would.
