An old approach to AI is gaining new attention after DeepSeek's breakthrough. This approach involves using novel model architecture optimizations and sparse attention mechanisms to develop high-performance AI models at a lower cost.
DeepSeek's achievement has sparked significant interest in the AI community, as it demonstrates that groundbreaking AI advancements don't always require massive investments. In fact, DeepSeek developed its high-performance model in just two months with a budget of under $6 million, leveraging Nvidia's H800 chips.
This development has also drawn attention to the potential for more affordable and accessible AI solutions. India's Minister of Electronics and Information Technology, Ashwini Vaishnaw, has praised DeepSeek's achievement, highlighting its significance for India's own AI mission.
