Dropbox Artificial Intelligence Developer (AI), Morgan Brown, said Chinese Deepseek’s innovations “left the world of AI in shock.” In an X publication, he highlighted the “gigantic” cost reduction achieved by OpenAi’s competitor to train his models.
“Openai and others spend more than $ 100 million on computing only. It arrives at Deepseek and says, ‘And if we did it for $ 5 million?’ ”He wrote.
Brown also stressed the use of an innovative method in building the model, described by him as a “expert system.” “Instead of a single gigantic Ia trying to know everything, they have dedicated experts who only ‘wake up’ when necessary,” he said.
According to him, this system allows only one fraction of model parameters to be activated at a time, generating significant processing and cost savings, in contrast to traditional methods such as chatgPT.
Another differential pointed out by Brown is the fact that the company has made its model code available to other developers.
He emphasized the relevance of this decision: “This breaks the model of ‘only large technology companies’ can work with AI”. And he warned about the impact on Nvidia: “For Nvidia, this is scary. Their business model is based on selling supercaras GPUS. If everyone can do it with gaming gpus, you understand the problem, ”he said.
