It zeroed in on research.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The strategy paid off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Chinese start-up has jolted the tech world with its claim that it created a powerful A.I. model that was significantly cheaper to build than the offerings of its better-funded American rivals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the rivalry between China and the United States over domination of artificial intelligence, DeepSeek seemed to come out of nowhere. In fact, it has skyrocketed through China\u2019s tech world in recent years with a path that was anything but conventional.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Its mission to pursue research mirrors that of companies like OpenAI, the Silicon Valley firm that marked an American signature over A.I. in the fall of 2022. But the similarities mostly end there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">DeepSeek\u2019s origins are in finance, not technology for technology\u2019s sake. Its parent company, a Chinese hedge fund called High-Flyer, began not as a laboratory devoted to safeguarding humanity from A.I. like Open AI, but as a business using A.I. to make bets in the Chinese stock market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">High-Flyer had thrived by capitalizing on a market dominated by China\u2019s retail investors, who are known for jumping in and out of stocks impulsively. In 2021, High-Flyer found itself pressured by regulatory crackdowns in China on speculative trading, which the authorities in Beijing felt was at odds with their attempts to keep markets calm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">So High-Flyer pursued a new opportunity that it said aligned better with Chinese government priorities: advanced A.I.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe want to do things with greater value and things that go beyond the investment industry, but it has been misinterpreted as A.I. stock speculation,\u201d High-Flyer\u2019s chief executive, Lu Zhengzhe, told Chinese state media in 2023. \u201cWe have set up a new team independent of investment, which is equivalent to a second start-up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">DeepSeek was born. As with many other Chinese start-ups, DeepSeek came at an established market with a different business approach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">DeepSeek\u2019s latest model for artificial intelligence is believed to be nearly as powerful as American rivals but far more efficient. Its success suggests that Silicon Valley\u2019s A.I. lead has shrunk. DeepSeek\u2019s breakthrough, despite efforts by Washington to limit Chinese access to the advanced chips needed for A.I., raises questions about how effective those controls can be long term \u2014 although DeepSeek\u2019s founder has acknowledged that the chip restrictions are a limitation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">DeepSeek did not rely on making consumer-facing A.I. products for revenue, and only this month released its <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/27\/technology\/deepseek-ai-chatbot-first-impressions.html\" title=\"\">first chatbot<\/a>, which allows anyone to generate text and photos with simple commands. Instead, the company used the money that High-Flyer made from stock trading to bankroll ambitious research. The approach set it apart from U.S. rivals, all of which are ultimately consumer technology companies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">This unconventional approach also allowed DeepSeek to sidestep stringent regulations the Chinese government has placed on A.I. use by the public. Because its focus was research and selling to businesses who use its model \u2014 and, until the release of its chatbot this month, not consumer applications \u2014 its early work did not trigger the same government restrictions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">DeepSeek is run by its chief executive, Liang Wenfeng, a thin, bespectacled engineer who studied at Zhejiang University in the eastern city of Hangzhou. He has said repeatedly in the few interviews he has given to Chinese media that to catch up with American innovation, Chinese companies must put research before profits. DeepSeek and High-Flyer did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">What Chinese technology companies \u201clack in innovation is certainly not capital, but a lack of confidence and knowledge about how to organize a high density of talent to achieve effective innovation,\u201d he said in a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/mp.weixin.qq.com\/s\/r9zZaEgqAa_lml_fOEZmjg\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">widely circulated interview<\/a> with Chinese tech outlet 36Kr.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Those who have worked with Mr. Liang describe him as a capable manager with a deep technical background, according to interviews and public accounts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cHe\u2019s definitely an INTP,\u201d said Zihan Wang, a computer engineer who worked on an earlier DeepSeek model, referring to an introspective personality type from the Myers-Briggs test, a popular personality test among young people in China. \u201cINTPs are really good researchers and they have a willingness to explore,\u201d Mr. Wang said. \u201cHe is not one of those people who wants to control everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Liang was not too bothered with details like project timelines, and occasionally sent thought-provoking research questions to the entire team of researchers, Mr. Wang said. But mostly, Mr. Liang seemed driven to advance the technology and was not focused on profits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Unlike many Chinese companies, which tend to focus on hiring programmers, Mr. Liang has gained a reputation for employing people from outside of computing. Poets and humanities majors from China\u2019s top universities on DeepSeek\u2019s staff train the model to write classical Chinese poetry and ace questions taken from the country\u2019s difficult college entrance examination.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cMost of the team graduated from the top universities in China,\u201d said Yineng Zhang, a lead software engineer at Baseten in San Francisco who works on the SGLang, a project not part of DeepSeek that helps people build on top of DeepSeek\u2019s system. \u201cThey are very smart and very young.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For years, Chinese tech companies pioneered artificial intelligence applications used in computer vision, like facial recognition. But OpenAI\u2019s release of ChatGPT prompted a reckoning. When no Chinese company immediately released anything comparable, many concluded that American companies had a lead in advanced A.I.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In China, computer scientists were determined to prove they could compete. In 2023, many companies in China released their own large language models, the technology that underpins chatbots like ChatGPT.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But making advanced models would require using a large number of chips that would cost hundreds of millions of dollars.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">High-Flyer was spending, too. By 2021, it was one just a handful of Chinese companies that had been able to stockpile more than 10,000 advanced Nvidia A100 chips.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Yet DeepSeek\u2019s research gave it a surprising advantage. Last year, it dramatically cut the prices it charged developers who build applications using its model, prompting a price war with larger rivals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Wang, the engineer who previously worked at DeepSeek, said there was little discussion of commercial applications for the technology they were building. Instead, he said, the company was focused on making an A.I. system that could be used by a range of people for many purposes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cDuring my time there, we did not talk much about how we make money,\u201d Mr. Wang said. \u201cThey just focused on making a great foundation model.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A crucial part of DeepSeek\u2019s popularity is that it has made its developers\u2019 work public. This kind of information sharing, called open source, has been a cornerstone of the development of computer software, the internet and now artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the United States, A.I. researchers and entrepreneurs have long followed the progress of DeepSeek\u2019s technology. Last year, the company turned heads when it released systems designed to generate their own computer programs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A new challenge for the company may come with its new high profile. The same day it released R1, the model behind its new chatbot, last week, Mr. Liang appeared at a round table discussion with Li Qiang, China\u2019s premier.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">DeepSeek\u2019s sudden popularity has thrust it to the center of the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s efforts to spur innovation, and that could prove difficult to manage, said Jimmy Goodrich, a senior adviser for technology analysis to the RAND Corporation, a federally funded think tank. \u201cIt\u2019s a big predicament for DeepSeek. I\u2019m sure they weren\u2019t on the government\u2019s five-year plan, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cCan they maintain this chaotic carefree vision when both the party and the world is watching?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Zixu Wang<!-- --> contributed research from Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/28\/business\/deepseek-owner-china-ai.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two years ago, when big-name Chinese technology companies like Baidu and Alibaba were chasing Silicon Valley\u2019s advances in artificial intelligence<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2561,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[213,902,319,349,770,771,905,903,904,906,268],"class_list":["post-2560","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-baidu-inc","tag-beijing-bytedance-technology-co-ltd","tag-china","tag-computer-chips","tag-deepseek-artificial-intelligence-co-ltd","tag-hangzhou-high-flyer-ai-fundamental-research-co-ltd","tag-hedge-funds","tag-liang-wenfeng","tag-lu-zhengzhe","tag-research"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How DeepSeek Went From Stock Trader to A.I.
