DeepSeek Takes Bold Step to Open-Source AI Code, Challenging Industry Giants

In a groundbreaking move that challenges AI industry norms, DeepSeek announces plans to open-source five core repositories of its R1 platform’s code and data. The R1 model, boasting 671 billion parameters while using only 37 billion per token, has already claimed top spots in coding and math benchmarks. This unprecedented level of transparency stands in stark contrast to competitors’ closed approaches and could reshape how AI development happens in the future.
