Roundtable: Deepseek – game changer or risk?
DeepSeek, a Chinese AI start-up founded in 2023, has quickly made waves in the industry with its prospect of radical cost efficiency. Its rapid adoption underscores its potential impact. Within days, it became the top free app in US app stores, spawned more than 700 open-source derivatives (and growing), and was onboarded by Microsoft, AWS, and Nvidia AI platforms. And yet, several uncertainties remain.
The true cost of training the model remains unverified, and there is speculation about whether the company relied on a mix of high-end and lower-tier GPUs. Questions have also been raised about intellectual property concerns, particularly regarding the sources and methods used for distillation.
Nevertheless, boardrooms and leadership teams are now paying closer attention to how AI efficiency improvements could impact long-term investment plans and strategy and are asking their CDOs for a perspective on the pros and cons.
