Market Disruption and Competition
đDeepSeek's free access to powerful AI models is forcing competitors like OpenAI and Google to lower prices and expand free access, disrupting the market.
đThe release of DeepSeek's MIT-licensed open-source model challenges the notion that competing at top levels requires tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, as they spent only a few million to train a top model.
Cost and Accessibility
đ°DeepSeek's interaction costs are 30x cheaper than OpenAI, with $0.14 per million tokens input vs $7.5 and $2 per million tokens output vs $60.
đThe open-source nature of DeepSeek allows anyone to build applications without restrictions, potentially enabling the creation of billion-dollar companies using this technology.
Privacy and Transparency
đDeepSeek's privacy policy states they may collect all user interactions, including text, audio, files, feedback, and chat history, storing data on secure servers in China.
đDeepSeek's transparency in revealing its detailed thinking process sets it apart from competitors like OpenAI, making it the best model so far in the AI space.
Future AI Developments
đ€OpenAI's Operator product, a remote AI agent using GPT-4, can autonomously research, summarize, and create presentations, representing a new AI product category for productivity.
đ§ȘPower users are utilizing DeepSeek and 01 Pro for advanced use cases like running AI agent laboratories to write research papers, indicating potential future applications.
