OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman is fascinated with DeepSeek R1 model

Sam Altman applauds the new AI competitor:

Let’s enter into a much more affordable AI era, which is indeed good news for AI users and perhaps bad news for AI competitors. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has recently praised the Chinese AI startup DeepSeek R1 model as remarkable. DeepSeek recently emerged and is selling its system for roughly $15 to $100, demonstrating its affordability and high-performance commitment compared to OpenAI on its platforms. Not only is its cost-friendly attribute gaining global attention, but its DeepSeek-V3 model variant has also been trained using Nvidia’s lower capacity H800 chips, which are under $6 million, and is making headlines.  Altman on X applauds DeepSeek R1, the newly launched WeChat version, for its low cost, as R1 is said to be 20 to 50 times cheaper than OpenAI’s o1 model and possesses high performance. OpenAI, on the other hand, emphasized that computing power was crucial for its success and acknowledged the critical need for high computing power to advance AI.

DeepSeek’s launch has raised concerns about the significant investments of U.S. tech giants in AI technology. As Nvidia’s stock price falls, the market could be redirected towards low-cost AI choices like DeepSeek R1 in the future. DeepSeek indicates the growing awareness and affordability of innovative and cost-effective solutions in the highly competitive AI field. OpenAI continues to execute its research plan and refine the importance of developing and innovating to achieve its mission.
