Abstract
The China-based AI model “DeepSeek AI” is bringing significant transformation to the AI industry. By achieving performance equivalent to OpenAI’s “o1” at a lower cost and partially open-sourcing its technology, it accelerates the democratization of AI development. This has made AI adoption more accessible for small and medium-sized enterprises and startups. Furthermore, its unique ability to “visualize the thought process” holds the potential to advance AI understanding and improvement to a new level. The rise of DeepSeek AI is also impacting major players such as AI chip manufacturers like NVIDIA and industry giants like OpenAI, intensifying price competition and reshaping the industry’s structure. Additionally, the emergence of low-cost, high-performance AI models promotes technological efficiency and widespread adoption, further accelerating the AI race. DeepSeek AI is expected to be a turning point that profoundly influences the future of AI technology and society as a whole.
