DeepSeek’s aI Claims have Shaken the World – but Not Everyone’s Convinced

However the analysis surrounding DeepSeek shakes out, AI researchers broadly agree it marks a positive step for the market.

Yann LeCun, primary AI scientist at Meta, said that represented a success for open-source AI designs, not always a win for China over the U.S. Meta is behind a popular open-source AI design called Llama.

“To individuals who see the efficiency of DeepSeek and think: ‘China is surpassing the US in AI.’ You read this incorrect. The proper reading is: ‘Open source models are exceeding exclusive ones’,” he said in a post on LinkedIn.

“DeepSeek has benefited from open research study and open source (e.g. PyTorch and Llama from Meta). They created originalities and constructed them on top of other individuals’s work. Because their work is released and open source, everyone can profit from it.
