DeepSeek's free 685B-parameter AI model runs at 20 tokens/second on Apple's Mac Studio, outperforming Claude Sonnet while using just 200 watts, challenging OpenAI's cloud-dependent business model.
I read a lot of tech bros saying what they did is easy because they used (illegally?) the chatgpt API for part of their model training. But it seems this kind of performance actually means better engineering, doesn’t it?
I’m glad a different country is able to challenge top USA tech, but I wish EU could do it together too. For now it seems we’re mostly able to duplicate American products with added GDPR compliance.
This is what Open AI wants you to think.
Because Open AI is burning money at an unprecedented rate and still raising money.
If DeepSeek is able to do what they do if a fraction of the money, the VCs and Microsoft will begin asking questions.

They are already asking questions. DeepSeek was a wake up call. NVIDIA stock dropped like a stone right after the announcement.
