DeepSeek previews new AI model that ‘closes the gap’ with frontier models

# DeepSeek Claims New AI Models Match Top Competitors DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company, says it has built new artificial intelligence models that perform nearly as well as the best AI systems available today—like those from OpenAI and Google—while using fewer computing resources to run them. The company is emphasizing that these models are particularly good at solving complex reasoning problems, a key measure of how "smart" an AI system is. This matters because it suggests that high-quality AI might become cheaper and more accessible if DeepSeek's claims hold up.
