Associate Professor in Computer Science at the University of Nottingham. I love telling people about computers, including on the Computerphile YouTube channel.
What DeepSeek has just done is approach the performance of a flagship model from OpenAI using modest hardware and a very smart training approach. It screws with the idea that (a) you need a data centre to compete, (b) bigger is always better, and (c) that closed source AI is going to be viable
