DeepSeek's AI claims have shaken the world — but not everyone's convinced

DeepSeek claims its R1 outperforms OpenAI's latest o1 model despite costing a fraction of the price the U.S. AI lab charges for its large language models.

Chinese artificial intelligence firm DeepSeek rocked markets this week with claims its new AI model outperforms OpenAI's and cost a fraction of the price to build.

The assertions — specifically that DeepSeek's large language model cost just $5.6 million to train — have sparked concerns over the eyewatering sums that tech giants are currently spending on computing infrastructure required to train and run advanced AI workloads.
