DeepSeek

On Tuesday, the NSA, CISA, and the FBI issued a joint advisory naming six Chinese AI companies (DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, Alibaba, MiniMax, StepFun, and Z.AI) as running industrial-scale "distillation" attacks against U.S. frontier models since at least late 2024, "likely" with "Chinese government awareness."

Microsoft made the OpenAI model optional on June 16, announcing it is exploring a fine-tuned version of DeepSeek V4 as a lower-cost alternative to the GPT-5 and Claude models currently powering Copilot Cowork. Continue Reading →

China’s National People’s Congress (NPC) isn’t Congress in the American sense; it’s a highly scripted, once-a-year policy showcase where nearly 3,000 delegates rubber-stamp decisions already made by Communist Party leadership. It meets every March in Beijing, and while it rarely makes headlines, this year was different—AI stole the show. Continue Reading →

Why the history lesson? Because everyone should have known this was coming. To be very clear, it's going to keep happening. We are living on the exponential. The cost ratio of OpenAI to DeepSeek is a pretty clear example of what an exponential shift in cost looks like. Continue Reading →

DeepSeek-R1, an open-source AI model from Chinese startup DeepSeek, has shaken up the industry by delivering performance comparable to leading models like OpenAI’s reasoning engine o1, its LLM GPT-4, and Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet while operating at a fraction of the cost. This breakthrough has sparked a debate: is DeepSeek-R1 a preview of a future driven by algorithmic efficiency or an outlier that reinforces the dominance of brute force foundational models?
