About DeepSeek

DeepSeek is the architect of the 'DeepSeek movement,' a fundamental shift in AI development that prioritizes extreme efficiency over raw compute. Founded by High-Flyer Quant, they proved that architectural innovations like Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) and DeepSeekMoE could match the performance of $100B models like GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 while costing 95% less to train and run. Their ecosystem includes the flagship DeepSeek-V3, the reasoning-heavy DeepSeek-R1, and the state-of-the-art DeepSeek-VL2 for high-fidelity OCR and vision tasks. DeepSeek is committed to the open-source community, regularly releasing model weights and technical papers that have democratized frontier-level AI for developers globally.
