The deal suggests that investors are still faster on artificial intelligence market leaders such as Openai, despite the unveiling of the US financial markets in the end of the last month after a Chinese company called Deepsek.
In December, Deepsek stated that it had manufactured one of the world’s most powerful AI systems, using much less computer chips compared to many experts. The prevailing knowledge was that only companies like Openai – who spent tens of billions of dollars, trained their AI technologies using thousands of special chips – can manufacture the most powerful systems.
