Sam Altman, CEO of the American company OpenAI, commented on the hype surrounding artificial intelligence models from China’s DeepSeek. He called them «impressive,» but is confident that his company can do better.
«DeepSeek’s R1 is an impressive model, especially for what they can deliver for this price. We will obviously be shipping much better models, and it’s really nice to have a new competitor! We will be doing some releases,» Altman wrote on X (Twitter).
He added that OpenAI will continue to implement its research plan, and believes that to achieve its goal, it is now more important than ever to have more computing resources.
«The world will want to use A LOT of AI and will be truly amazed by the next generation models. I look forward to bringing you all the AGI and beyond,» assured Sam Altman.
Yesterday, DeepSeek, which has recently become popular and has sparked concerns among Western AI companies, released a new set of multimodal AI models. The Chinese company claims that they can outperform OpenAI’s DALL-E 3 image generator.
DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence lab funded largely by High-Flyer Capital Management, recently gained popularity after its chatbot rose to the top of the Apple App Store charts .
DeepSeek’s language models, which were trained using efficient computational methods, have led many analysts and technologists in the West to wonder whether the US will be able to maintain its lead in the AI race and whether demand for AI chips will persist.
This excitement has caused stock prices in technology companies to fall, including top graphics processor manufacturer Nvidia, and Mark Zuckerberg hastened to announce that Meta plans to invest $60 billion in AI development by 2025 .
The hype around DeepSeek became so great that even monobank co-founder Oleg Gorohovsky and the head of the Ministry of Digital Affairs, Mykhailo Fedorov, wrote cryptic, laconic posts about the startup. The latter later published a more detailed post on Telegram.
