One year ago this week, Silicon Valley and Wall Street were shocked by the release of China's DeepSeek mobile app, which rivaled US-based large language models like ChatGPT by showing comparable performance on key benchmarks at a fraction of the cost while using less-advanced chips. DeepSeek opened a new chapter in the US-China rivalry, with the world recognizing the competitiveness of Chinese AI models, and Beijing pouring more resources into developing its own AI ecosystem.
Meta Platforms Inc.'s lavish multimillion-dollar budget for recruiting top AI talent may not guarantee success, despite their efforts to poach researchers from competitors like OpenAI.
The DeepSeek research team has expanded their evaluation framework with a new benchmark collection designed specifically for formal theorem proving assessment. This includes ProverBench, a collection of 325 formalized problems.
