The victory of victory on the Chinese Internet this week. Just as the Google DeepMind victory was offered to the strongest player in China in 2017, it showed Western brilliance in artificial intelligence, so Deepseek's release of the model of thinking about global artificial intelligence this month was celebrated as an amazing success in China.
The smart and cheapest Deepseek model of artificial intelligence was “a scientific and technological achievement that constitutes our national destiny”, Chinese technology executive. Another said that the startup has become a major player in the Chinese Avengers team, which will face the dominance of AI.
However, the Chinese joy has shown the pain of many giant American technology companies, as investors wondered whether Deepseek breaks the case because of their massive spending on Amnesty International's infrastructure. The shares of American technology and power 1TN lost their market value on Monday, although it recovered some land later in the week.
The stereotype of China abroad may still be the image of the intense and intense manufacturing economy in the capital that outperforms the disposal of low -cost devices, such as smartphones, solar panels and electric cars. However, in fact, China has long emerged as a great global software force, outperforming the West in e -commerce and digital financial services, and has invested significantly in artificial intelligence as well.
The appearance of Dibsic confuses many excessive biases about Chinese innovation, although it is far from a model Chinese company. Certainly, the old saw that while the United States is invented, China is a tradition and Europe is organizing. In several ways, Deepseek is similar to starting the broken silicon valley, even if it is not established in a garage. It was launched in 2023The company has the same high ambition, such as Openai and Google DeepMind to achieve artificial intelligence at the human level, or artificial general intelligence (AGI). But its founder, Liang Wenfeng, runs one of the leading hedge funds in China, which means that the company has not had to collect external financing.
In an interview republished in Modern China Liang explained that the newsletter is that Deepseek works as a laboratory for more than one commercial institution. Upon employment, he gave priority to the capabilities on credentials, and the employment of Chinese Chinese researchers. Liang said that these people have given space to explore it and freedom to make mistakes. He said: “Innovation often creates naturally – it is not something that can be deliberately planned or taught.”
Deepseek depends on open source AI models, such as Meta's LamaUnlike Openai and Google's royal models prefer. It also focuses tightly on the language in its pursuit of AGI instead of trying to go multimedia and merge images, sound and video. “What do you think that” thinking “may actually be the language of the brain weave. This indicates that the human AGI can come out of the language models.”
The center's Deepseek approach enabled it to develop a convincing logical model without the need for an unusual computing power and apparently on a small part of the cost of its competitors in the United States. As with other Chinese applications, American politicians rushed to raise concerns about security and privacy about Deepseek. And Openai even has accused The Chinese company is one of the potential violations of intellectual property rights. Looking at the issues against Openai to violate the copyright of others, they may hit each other of the wealthy.
While some large American technology companies responded to the Deepseek model with disguised warning, many developers rushed to swoop on the opportunities that technology may generate. The capabilities and licenses of the Deepseek thinking model may allow them to publish it for an increasing number of uses. On Monday, Dibsic was The most downloaded Free app on Apple App Store in the United States.
Ironically, this may enable the United States to benefit more Dibsic penetration than China. Over the past few years, China has been strangling it The private sector The state also exercises strict control. The number of startups launched in China has decreased since 2018. PitchbookChina's investment fund financing decreased by 37 percent to $ 40.2 billion last year, while increasing in the United States.
Dibsic punctured the arrogance of the American few technical. I have intensified global competition and will accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence tools. Only, this can be a state of innovation of China and the tradition of the United States. But is it just an amazing and beginning of a long -term direction?
