That's a false equivalence. There's more nuance than that. Both OpenAI and Google have a genuine private-sector business model, whereas my claim is that DeepSeek is totally a China Gov't entity.
- jazzyjackson 2y agoWhy is it an interesting distinction whether a product is privately funded vs tax payer funded? To me it sounds like sour grapes.
- quantadev 2y agoFrom China's perspective, undercutting American AI companies using Gov't funds is a great strategy for them. Whether you like it or not sort of depends on which side you're on.
- tokioyoyo 2y ago> is totally a China Gov't entity Honestly, I don't know. I feel like if any better model came out from literally any AI lab in China, people would say literally exactly the same thing. Some Chinese companies are pouring billions in similar AI stuff as we're doing in the West. DeepSeek also creating problems for those companies as well. I would even go as far as saying, all those "illegal GPUs" are probably in hands of Tencent, Baidu, Huawei and other big boys, rather than DS team. But again, just conjectures here.
- quantadev 2y agoMy hunch is that DeepSeek is lying about creating their AI using just a few outdated chips and a $6mn budget. And when I heard DeepSeek was providing basically free and unlimited AI inference services that also made me think it's gotta be funded by their Gov't (China), because no private sector company can afford that.
- deadfoxygrandpa 2y agohow much of their funding came from the chinese government?
