DeepSeek in Detail
DeepSeek shook the AI world at the start of 2026: a Chinese startup trained a model on par with GPT-4 — for under $6 million. For comparison: OpenAI has invested hundreds of millions of dollars.
Technical Innovation
DeepSeek uses Mixture of Experts (MoE): instead of activating all 671 billion parameters for every token, only ~37B active parameters per token are used — making it extremely efficient.
DeepSeek R1 vs. GPT-4o
| Benchmark | DeepSeek R1 | GPT-4o |
|---|---|---|
| MATH | 97.3% | 76.6% |
| Coding | 65.9% | 45.8% |
| Science | 79.8% | 74.9% |
Especially in mathematics and coding, R1 clearly beats the competition.
