Comment on Chinese AI lab DeepSeek massively undercuts OpenAI on pricing — and that's spooking tech stocks
DdCno1@beehaw.org 5 days agoIf anything, this is just the start of an arms race. Do you really expect the Western competition to just stop what they are doing, because a single Chinese model performs well in a handful of synthetic tests that it was probably optimized to score well in?
I’m not a fan of AI slop either, on the contrary, but let’s be realistic here.

an arms race for what? more efficient slop? most of their value comes from the expected exclusivity - that say openai is the only one who can run something like o1. deepseek has made that collapse. i doubt they will stop doing stuff, but i dont think you understand the nature of the situation here.
also lol, “performs well in synthetic tests it was optimized to score well in” yes that literally describes every llm. Make no mistake: none of this has a real use case. not deepseek’s model, not openai’s, not apples, etc. this is all nonsense, literally. the stock market lost 2 trillion dollars overnight because something that doesnt have a use case was one upped by something else that also doesnt have a use case. it’s very funny.
