Asked Claude 3.7 to build my son a game that it created.

Almost nailed it on the first try. All the balls were in the top left corner.

After some nudging it got it.

Exciting to see that my son and I can create near infinite games for ourselves. Games special to us.

Export controls are still the best tool we have when it comes to preventing China from winning the AI race.

R1 isn't as interesting as V3. It's using RL like o1

DeepSeek's cost for the ~50k Hopper chips is ~$1B, which isn't far off from US companies.

All of this is expected progress on the same curve. What's different is the fact that China produced this.

DeepSeek did not train as good a model for $6M. Also we got some insight into the true cost of Claude 3.5 Sonnet at "a few $10Ms"

DeepSeek V3 was the real innovation (a month ago). Specifically they innovated on an area called the KV cache using a method called "mixture of experts".

When it comes to shifting the paradigm he discusses that in 2024 the real shift has been adding in reinforcement learning (RL) on top of pre-trained models.

China is here and they are messing things up for the US in a big way. DeepSeek R-1 was the first reasoning model they dropped. Then yesterday they released their Jasper models. They open sourced everything. US AI companies suggested China was 5 years behind - this is clearly not true anymore.

Reasoning Models are here and OpenAI isn't the only game in town anymore. DeepSeek R-1 is sending shock waves through the world right now not just for their research but US AI companies are now being devalued because of this. AGI will come from these models, so expect a lot more of these in 2025.
