Am I surprised they are getting help? No. I think any country who has this type of break through technology should be supporting it.
- riobard 2y agoThe first link from FT is paywalled and the second link from CNN does not mention "data center" even once, yet you were stating as a fact that > DeepSeek has received support from Beijing, including access to state-funded data centers. I do believe as you said that > DeepSeek has strong backing from the government now that they have made a break through but please do not confuse people by stating your beliefs as facts.
- patrickhogan1 2y agoThank you for this feedback. The first part of what I said was right and backed up by facts. For the second part, I heard it on a podcast but couldn't find proof, so I removed that part - about government funded data centers. Your focus on facts is what makes this group so good. Thank you for keeping our talks honest.
- albumen 2y agoWell, the FT article itself says: "The start-up has gained access to state-funded data centres, easing its computing constraints". However they don't provide a source for their claim.
