Recently, the crypto market has been shaken by a new technology. This artificial intelligence model called DeepSeek, known as the "new black swan", has quickly attracted global attention with its faster speed, lower cost and stronger intelligence. This not only poses a challenge to the artificial intelligence industry, but also has a profound impact on the crypto market.
The origin and background of DeepSeek
Developed by accident by a Chinese startup, DeepSeek started out as a byproduct of a hedge fund's free time. The fund purchased a large number of graphics cards to predict stock market trends, and these graphics cards were used to train AI models during their idle periods. In the end, the experiment cost just $10 million and resulted in a product with performance comparable to OpenAI while significantly reducing costs.
Data comparison shows:
- DeepSeek: The cost per million tokens is only $2.19
- OpenAI: Cost per million tokens is as high as $60
Not only that, the DeepSeek team is only a fraction of the size of OpenAI, but has achieved remarkable results through innovation.
DeepSeek’s Market Impact
1. Open source and cost advantages
DeepSeek has released a powerful open-source model that is almost free to use and can even be run at home. This undoubtedly poses a challenge to large technology companies, whose huge investments in AI technology are facing the impact of more cost-effective competitors.
2. Innovation-driven
Although there are many opportunities in the field of AI, the emergence of DeepSeek reveals a problem: many giants have not yet developed breakthrough applications that can fully utilize cost reduction and efficiency improvement. DeepSeek's logical reasoning ability, scientific computing ability and open architecture are the key to future AI application innovation.
3. Impact on the crypto market
As DeepSeek quickly gained popularity, the market reacted violently. The Nasdaq index continued to decline in pre-market trading, even below its closing price last Friday. This shows that the emergence of DeepSeek has not only changed the AI landscape, but may also change investors' expectations of the entire market.
DeepSeek in action
The following are various application scenarios of DeepSeek:
1. Build a complex question-answering model similar to a search engine.
2. Provide similar performance support at a much lower cost than OpenAI.
3. Logical reasoning to solve complex medical problems.
4. Visually explain geometric theorems (such as the Pythagorean theorem).
5. Achieve high-speed operation in the local browser, processing 60 tokens per second.
6. Create interactive document analysis applications (such as PDF Q&A).
7. Achieve breakthrough progress in home-grade artificial intelligence.
in conclusion
The advent of DeepSeek has shown the world the power of small innovative teams and overturned people's traditional perception of the resources and scale of the AI industry. It not only brings new variables to the crypto market, but also has a profound impact on the global technological innovation trend. Under the guidance of this "black swan", future artificial intelligence may be more approachable and bring unprecedented possibilities.
