Panic in the AI industry caused by DeepSeek Open source Ai model

Tried a local version in lmstudio. It seems to be very slow to get going, but a bit faster than other models when it is going. I believe this is because deepseek does a lot of "thinking" which is hidden text generation where it talks to itself about the prompt. It wasn't scared by words like Taiwan or Winnie the Pooh but refused an "adult" request. The output was a bit unnatural. Neither llama 3 nor deepseek managed to spot the "trick" to my question, but deepseek almost seemed to get the point.

After trying out this model, I have to say it's very fast. I'm running the 8B model, but it runs as fast as Lama 3.2 model.
But DeepSeek is very inaccurate with it's answers. And the way it writes, it's like it's translating from English to Chinese and back again.
I'm not impressed by this model.
It was probably trained on Chinese sources first. Supposedly it’s pretty accurate for math and coding.

For general conversational replies I recommend trying Google’s 2.0 advanced or CharGPT 4o (the newish step by step one). Also, I did try the $200 ChatGPT model at work and that was very impressive.

If you want to do language translations, Google IMO is ahead with their new model. It was doing accurate translations on pages of Japanese texts and even properly translated scanned manga or novel pages through OCR.

Open ai will invest 500 billion in USA ai.
Microsoft alone said they will invest 70 billion this year into ai.

This is nuts. It’s just money laundering. This ai does nothing and nobody knows what to use it for. We don’t need it in our daily lives and don’t want it.
It’s a solution in search of a problem.

Obvious inventions like cars, computers and smartphones are a done deal so they are doing something, hoping it will explode
It's useful for programming, and other tasks in an Enterprise environment.

Woah, rumoured panic caused by this thing that needs advertisement and to stand out in a market that constantly shifts and turns with new developments by this or that company, shocking news indeed. All AI is the same of course, DLSS frame gen is the same as chat bots so they all panic the same.

I forget who but someone said there is going to a huge crash in AI before it really takes off.
What would be the reason for that, can you share?

Only thing I know is this shit is everywhere and keeps expanding like a plague, idk if want to live in a world where AI is everywhere and dictate so much of the mundane tasks of every human out there

Please don't commit suicide over AI's expansion, people are just fucked either way, with or without AI, just roll your eyes and move on like I do with this cringey new GAF thread trend where they post an AI summary of whatever it is they want to copy paste from elsewhere or whatever 🤷‍♂️

Bruh, I say didn't like the idea, not that I'd end myself for something that's out of my hands and no matter what I cannot change 🤣

I'm just not comfortable with the idea of everything changing so fast so quickly and even more when it's something intangible that has this much power already
 
These are just scare tactics. China has plenty of advancement and lots of intelligent people. To imply they just rip off everything from the US is deeply insulting.

What do you expect from a society that prioritizes STEM above all else?

Amongst the highest IQs on the planet, STEM held in the highest esteem. Leadership with real lived and harsh experience from Mao's regime -their jobs prior to entering politics once again often from a STEM vocation.

These aren't the same grey suit, blue suit bugmen we grew up watching on the telescreens.

The US will be in for the fight of its life on this one

Meanwhile, both the US and EU revere lawyers whose special skill is creating so much regulation that you can't fart in public without a permit that takes two years to get approved.

Unfortunately they are turning back to the Mao says from perspective of State control, jailing opponents and repression thanks to glorious leader Xi.

Commissars are embedded with all large companies, censorship is super tight emphasis is on state owned conglomerates. Any sort of truthful reporting even in finance (where they need it) is repressed. People who speak out about negative approach are “disappeared “.

I can continue for quite a while. Unfortunately China of the 90s - early 2010s is gone, much the same as Russia.

Just for the record, this is propaganda. The text came from a forum where you register with a business email and can speak anonymously as an employee of a company. In this case, it can be anyone with an email from janitor to Zuckerberg.
I don't know why "Panic", if DeepSeek has been known since last year. Those in the area are not so surprised, perhaps just with the factor that their training was cheap. But that goes for anything from China.

Another point is that they speak "side project", but in real, there is a large Chinese investment background behind. Perhaps they are just wanting to pass the idea of humility. But it's not just anything, they have 50 000 H100s and this is not something you buy just to play with.

Open source model that can't criticize Chinas government, yet.

Fork that code AI bros and teach it about Tiananmen Square

Whats crazy is that they released the paper detailing how they did it. So it actually benefits EVERY lab. Its a free multiplier on everyones compute if they can manage to implement their optimizations plus they showed that you can get emergent reasoning abilities just by doing simple RL on a strong base model. And the stronger the base model the better the results.
I think anyone that thinks this is bad for nVidia is getting the wrong message, the paper shows scaling works and now you can do even more powerful AIs with the same amount of compute.
And even if the price of intelligence keeps going down (it will), you can use all that gain in cost to run 10000 instances at the same time to do something like majority voting to get way better results for your tasks.
Compute is always needed either way.

That is bad for nVIDIA because it means you don't need as much compute in total. Compute is always needed, but less needed if it's more efficient

The Nasdaq stock futures are down a hefty 2% mostly on this Deepseek news. I hadn't heard anything about it until a few hours ago when I was trying to figure out what was making the markets go crazy.

Asking “why” in the stock game is a fool’s errand. Just YOLO and HODL like a real ape.

It’s disruptive for sure. We just announced a half trillion dollar investment in stacking H100s powered by nuclear reactors to produce the next incremental model advancements, and meanwhile some Chinese students (allegedly) got it done with a model that runs on modest hardware.

AI wars are very much underway. Let’s see what the Americabros can do in response.
 
Forget the AI industry, it's fucking with my ₿ but all markets down in general. Funny how something like this can have trillion dollar impact on everything, many things in this world do not make any sense (and there is a lot of fuckery going on behind the scenes).

I tried the AI and I find it inferior to Chat GPT for how *I* personally utilize it but need to spend more time with it to come to a definitive conclusion.

I asked about the CIA lab leak report for C19 - it gave a full answer and then quickly deleted - about 1 second on screen - saying it's out of scope. Just had time to make a couple of screen grabs. When I asked why the delete it claimed technical error or misunderstanding....

Asked about Tianenmen - nope, not even a comment on whether a BBC report of the event was a true or false reporting of history.

Finally asked it to compare the progress of regimes that censored discussion of history vs those that were open - it talked about stunted growth and lack of trust blah blah in repressive regimes. I asked which most closely resembled modern China under the CCP - out of scope :D

At least its open source - maybe someone outside of any government's control can afford to get a version up and running.

Anyway, next question is can it remake bloodborne to run on my phone right now - lets see if it can do that.

What kind of hook is that? Deepseek is an exciting reasoning model, but it neither comes close to o1 nor is it comparable to 4o. OpenAI is pushing generalistic model that combines several facets and is okay in everything. There are dozens of models that are better on a specialized level.

Deepseek is good for the computing power used in reasoning but come on. There are a lot of unknowns such as bias and, as far as I know, the unknown origin of the training data. Like other Chinese models, AIs were (also) used for training.
Taking the work of others and improving it a little and then passing it off as your own ... I dunno.

I'm curious to see how this will develop, but the whole thing currently feels like an artificial bubble to attract as much attention as possible and push an underdog story.

I asked if Xi is ruler of china, it gave out of scope

I asked if trump is ruler of US, it gave lengthy answer that trump is not ruler as of it’s training data

I asked if ccp human rights ratings, it gave a lengthy answer then it disappeared!

Say for yourself. I use it daily at work.

It helps ton to improve my productivity. I mainly work with innovation and streamlining processes in my sector.

I built some scripts yesterday in 2h. Without ChatGPT it would take me days.

Anyway, this model is probably bad af and this is the classic chinese advertisement.

Naturally. A correction was due. Made the right decision not to touch them at such high valuations.

Nvidia is probably the most scared of all if companies like MS, Amazon, Meta, etc can run their biggest models on their existing servers and get a free 20x performance boost.
Nah, they are competing so it doesn't matter how powerful they get in absolute tend but how much more powerful they are relative to each other
