In late December, the small Chinese lab, based in Hangzhou, released V3, a language model with 671 billion parameters, which was reportedly trained in two months for just $5.58 million.

Last week, DeepSeek threw down another gauntlet, releasing a model called R-1, which it claims rivals OpenAI’s o1 model on what’s called “reasoning tasks,” like coding and solving complex math and science problems. OpenAI charges users $200 per month for such models; DeepSeek offers its own for free.
