Reflecting on the “surprise” of DeepSeek, several key insights emerge:
The Trump administration proposed the “Stargate” plan, aiming to strengthen the US’s global competitive edge by constructing a massive artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. Powerful computing capabilities and vast data accumulation have driven the commercialisation of powerful AI models like those from Google, Meta, Anthropic, and OpenAI.
Meanwhile, the emergence of DeepSeek has undoubtedly brought fresh momentum to the industry, not only achieving technological breakthroughs but also showcasing new possibilities in its approach. DeepSeek has chosen a "low-cost, high-performance, open-source collaboration" artificial intelligence path, opening up foundation model architectures and lowering development barriers to enable more enterprises, developers, and research institutions to participate in the co-construction of the global AI ecosystem.
