From what I understand, they did have access to 50,000 nvidia GPUs, and they basically stole much of ChatGPT and just distilled it down. In fact, someone was able to get it to admit that it was ChatGPT in an news article.
So, I'm sure it was cheap to do, but it didn't require training from scratch, and it still required GPUs they weren't supposed to have.
Regardless, it's still censored in a way that makes China look as good as possible. I think the real reason DeepSeek exists is to damage US tech companies' stock prices in retaliation for us restricting their access to AI chips.
I'll be interested in your article on DeepSeek. I initially thought it was 10,000 workers just doing Google searches when someone asked DeepSeek a question. I, like you, am not going to install Chinese apps on my phone. Also, the Chinese are often guilty of stealing trade secrets and product plans and making their own versions. I wonder how much of that is in DeepSeek. Not totally shaming them on that for software development. Any good programmer "borrows" code from someone else.

That’s what I’ve found as well. I’ve done a lot of digging and I’m excited to share my results soon!
