DeepSeek-R1-Lite-Preview is Now Live
DeepSeek-R1-Lite-Preview is a new model from China, which is a direct competitor to the best US models like OpenAI’s o1 and Claude 3.5 Sonnet, beating them in some cases. This latest development boasts:
• Industry-leading performance on AIME & MATH benchmarks
• Transparent thought process in real-time
• Open-source models and API coming soon
The announcement of DeepSeek’s capabilities has significant implications for the future of AI, especially considering China’s duplication of OpenAI’s o1-preview model in just two months. To remain competitive, Western powers must focus on economic fundamentals:
• More chips, data centers, and energy
• Faster Internet and increased connectivity
• Enabling infrastructure and legislation to keep pace with AI advancements
The introduction of DeepSeek-R1-Lite signals a new era in AI development, where open-source models are taken seriously. This model achieves state-of-the-art results on the MATH benchmark with 91.6% accuracy.
