DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm based in Hangzhou, specializes in creating advanced large language models. Established recently by Liang Wenfeng, the company has made waves in the tech sector for its latest AI developments. Notably, DeepSeek has developed AI rivaling leading models like GPT-4 at significantly lower prices and resource requirements.
