DeepSeek R1 is the AI large language model newly developed by DeepSeek, an enterprise in Hangzhou. Due to its affordable price, open source and ease of use, foreign media consider that it can catch up with the most advanced product in the United States.
This model performs excellently in chemistry, mathematics and programming, comparable to OpenAI o1 model from the United States, with favorable price and visible reasoning process, receiving wide praise.
Nature, the famous academic journal of the UK, introduces, “It excites the scientists all over the world.” According to MIT Technology Review (USA), the United States’ restrictions on chips stimulate the innovation in model development. New York Times even states, “If China continues to make breakthroughs with open source in AI design, this will enable China to be the AI development center and greatly contribute to the scientific and technological progress of China.”
