DeepSeek – Hype or a Paradigm Shift? (Current Issue No.3556)

คะแนนเฉลี่ย
  • DeepSeek is a Chinese AI company that has garnered much attention for its latest AI model “DeepSeek-R1”.  It has claimed a much lower development cost than OpenAI (USD 5.8 million vs. USD 7 billion in 2024) but similar performance, prompting Nvidia’s stock to plunge 16.91 percent in a single day. However, the actual cost is likely to be higher than reported. Regardless, DeepSeek’s arrival will likely force the US to accelerate its AI development and inspire more competition in the global AI market.
  • KResearch estimates that DeepSeek’s actual overall cost is likely to exceed USD 5.8 million, as this figure does not include expenses related to prior research, algorithm development, or data. However, the actual cost is likely still lower than the investment of US AI companies, which consumes billions of dollars per year.
