Deepseek

DeepSeek AI is an open-source artificial intelligence project developed by Chinese AI research company DeepSeek (深度求索). Launched in June 2023, it specializes in developing advanced large language models (LLMs) with particular focus on machine learning research, code generation, and multimodal learning. The project gained significant attention with its January 2024 release of DeepSeek-R1, a 128K-context multimodal model competitive with leading global AI systems.

History
