The United States has worked steadily over the past three years to limit China’s access to the cutting edge computer chips that power advanced artificial intelligence systems. Its aim has been to slow China’s progress in developing sophisticated A.I. models. Now a Chinese firm, DeepSeek, has created that very technology. …
Inside China, it was called the tipping point for the global technological rivalry with the United States and the “darkest hour” in Silicon Valley, evoking Winston Churchill. It was possibly a breakthrough that could change the country’s destiny. The news that the Chinese start-up DeepSeek can build artificial intelligence models …
Two years ago, when big-name Chinese technology companies like Baidu and Alibaba were chasing Silicon Valley’s advances in artificial intelligence with splashy announcements and new chatbots, DeepSeek took a different approach. It zeroed in on research. The strategy paid off. The Chinese start-up has jolted the tech world with its …
Lots of questions are still swirling this morning about the implications of DeepSeek, the Chinese start-up whose A.I. tools drove yesterday’s stock market plunge. Is it really as good as the closed-source frontier models made by OpenAI and Google? Did DeepSeek really use fewer chips? Did it piggyback off the …
The artificial intelligence breakthrough that is sending shock waves through stock markets, spooking Silicon Valley giants, and generating breathless takes about the end of America’s technological dominance arrived with an unassuming, wonky title: “Incentivizing Reasoning Capability in LLMs via Reinforcement Learning.” The 22-page paper, released last week by a scrappy …

Tech stocks tumbled. Giant companies like Meta and Nvidia faced a barrage of questions about their future. And tech executives took to social media to proclaim their fears. And it was all because of a little-known Chinese artificial intelligence start-up called DeepSeek. DeepSeek caused waves all over the world on …
Good morning on this action-packed Monday. Mark this week on your “History of Artificial Intelligence Timeline”: The creation of DeepSeek, the Chinese A.I. sensation that we told you about last week, is shaking the technology industry to its core. The super-efficient, open-source software is raising questions about the valuations of …
