OpenAI chief Altman says DeepSeek’s R1 model ‘impressive’

DeepSeek, a low-cost Chinese artificial intelligence model, grabbed global attention last month when it stated in a paper that training its DeepSeek-V3 model required less than $6 million in computing power using the lower-capability Nvidia H800 chips. “DeepSeek’s r1 is an impressive model, particularly around what they’re able to deliver for the price,” Altman said on X. “But mostly we are excited to continue to execute on our research roadmap and believe more compute is more important now than ever before to succeed at our mission,” Altman added.
