DeepSeek's "Budget" AI Innovation or Just a Taste of Their Own Medicine?
DeepSeek claims they trained their AI model for under $6M, but that price tag seems way too low. Here’s why people are skeptical:
# Not Really Open-Source They released model checkpoints and inference scripts, but the training script is missing. That’s a big red flag.
# Did They Train from Scratch? – Unlike Google, Meta, and OpenAI who spent billions training models from raw data DeepSeek may have borrowed data from O1, tweaking it instead of starting fresh.
# Paying Only Half the Bill? Another theory? They underreported costs. Maybe their small firm only covered a fraction while their parent company (with 50K+ GPUs!) handled the real expenses.
Ironically, Big Tech trained AI using our data without consent. Now DeepSeek might’ve done the same just using their data instead. A case of “you reap what you sow”? 🤔

If DeepSeek actually pulled this off, big tech should be worried!

Obviously if a small company try to invade in the space of big companies it will have to go through scrutiny, aise thodi jaane denge .

Open source is coming from model weights and apache license. Also, lot of open datasets for this r1 model training are generated by openAI's gpt4o. It's clear that they atleast used one of openAI model generated dataset. I think That's why they didn't release training as it is against openAI's policies. What you are missing is small group of talented engineers did what any other any non US company couldn't. Suddenly, most people are praising china but every Researcher know how good china research has been. They get funding from CCP also. If you don't trust you can run it inside your company's server as it is open source. Stop complaining and appreciate what they did.
