The release of DeepSeek's AI model has raised critical questions in the tech community regarding the effectiveness of massive spending on GPU infrastructure. DeepSeek claims its R1 model rivals those from major companies like OpenAI and Meta, despite using significantly fewer Nvidia GPUs and having a training cost under $6 million. While initial investor panic led to significant stock market drops for US tech firms, analysis suggests these concerns may be exaggerated, as DeepSeek possibly leveraged existing model outputs in its training process.
"There is no doubt that there are some ingenious innovations in DeepSeek's model pre-training, like the use of reinforcement learning as a core training methodology, moving away from the reliance on large labeled data."
