DeepSeek challenges OpenAI with drastically cheaper models, prompting discussions on the viability of proprietary versus open-source AI efforts.

    Ah ok, I didn’t catch that. Other articles were discussing v3’s training using only 2.8M GPU hours.

      Until this has been independently verified, I have my doubts. This wouldn’t be the first time for China to vastly exaggerate its technological capabilities.

        Deepseek seems to have done a clever thing w.r.t. training data, by having the model train on data that was emitted by other LLMs (as far as I’ve heard). That means there is sort of “quality-pass”, filtering out a lot of the definitely bogus data. That probably leads to a smaller model, and thus less training hours.

        Google engineers put out a paper on this technique recently as well.
