DeepSeek launched a free, open-source large language model in late December, claiming it was developed in just two months at a cost of under $6 million.
I don’t know. In a lot of usecase AI is kinda crap, but there’s certain usecase where it’s really good. Honestly I don’t think people are giving enough thought to it’s utility in early-middle stages of creative works where an img2img model can take the basic composition from the artist, render it then the artist can go in and modify and perfect it for the final product. Also video games that use generative AI are going to be insane in about 10-15 years. Imagine an open world game where it generates building interiors and NPCs as you interact with them, even tying the stuff the NPCs say into the buildings they’re in, like an old sailer living in a house with lots of pictures of boats and boat models, or the warrior having tons of books about battle and decorative weapons everywhere all in throw away structures that would have previously been closed set dressing. Maybe they’ll even find sane ways to create quests on the fly that don’t feel overly cookie-cutter? Life changing? Of course not, but definitely a cool technology with a lot of potential
Also realistically I don’t think there’s going to be long term use for AI models that need a quarter of a datacenter just to run, and they’ll all get tuned down to what can run directly on a phone efficiently. Maybe we’ll see some new accelerators become common place maybe we won’t.
