According to a paper authored by the lab, the DeepSeek-R1 model outperforms cutting-edge models such as OpenAI’s o1 and Meta’s Llama AI models across multiple benchmarks.

DeepSeek just shook up the artificial intelligence (AI) world in the biggest way since OpenAI launched ChatGPT in late 2022. The Chinese company's new R1 large language model (LLM) reportedly matches or beats OpenAI's o1 model on some benchmarks.

DeepSeek stunned the tech world with the release of its R1 "reasoning" model, matching or exceeding OpenAI's reasoning model for a fraction of the cost.
