OpenAI, the creator of the AI model ChatGPT, describes their competitor DeepSeek as ‘state-subsidized’ and ‘state-controlled’ and submitted a proposal to the U.S. government for a ban on the company and other Chinese AI equipment.

On January 20, DeepSeek’s R1 model was unveiled, making a significant impact with its remarkable cost-effectiveness. This model not only met expectations, but it also managed to surpass other models in some metrics while achieving this at a fraction of the cost, around 5.6 million USD, primarily in training costs, which is much lower than Google’s Gemini or OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4 models.
