Chinese AI startup DeepSeek unveiled its AI models — DeepSeek-V3 and DeepSeek-R1, open-source AI reasoning model. The model got widespread acceptance, surpassing ChatGPT as the most downloaded app on the App Store. The model development stood strong against the o1 and o3 models of OpenAI, with a fraction of their investments ($5 million). The primary reason for the cost-efficiency of the model is the use of a watered-down version of the GPU—NVIDIA H800, with lower chip-to-chip bandwidth. The DeepSeek-V3 model offers increased efficiency and reduced cost, which can be attributed to the use of Multi-Head Latent Attention (MLA). The model is based on the Mix-of-Experts (MOE) architecture, which brings together a team of specialist models working together to answer a question instead of a s...
