DeepSeek changes rules of AI’s great game

Chinese start-up’s breakthrough may be bad news for US tech giants but could be a windfall for everyone else

{"text":[[{"start":8.52,"text":"It is hard to talk about 21st-century economic history without discussing the “China shock”. "},{"start":13.699,"text":"That is the term often used to describe China’s entrance into the global market, a change that brought rich countries an abundance of cheap goods, but left entire industries and workforces mothballed. "}],[{"start":23.82,"text":"DeepSeek may provide a sequel. "},{"start":26.124,"text":"A little-known Chinese hedge fund has thrown a grenade into the world of artificial intelligence with a large language model that, in effect, matches the market leader, Sam Altman’s OpenAI, at a fraction of the cost. "},{"start":37.354,"text":"And while OpenAI treats its models’ workings as proprietary, DeepSeek’s R1 wears its technical innards on the outside, making it attractive for developers to use and build on.
