DeepSeek's success an opportunity for global AI cooperation

Technology has been my beat for more than a decade now — part of my job as a business journalist is to keep a close eye on the latest trends and developments in China's ever-changing high-tech sector.

Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek recently caused a global sensation with the release of its latest open-source large language model at significantly lower cost than its foreign counterparts, sending shock waves through the tech industry.

I marveled at the powerful capacities of DeepSeek, a rival of US-based OpenAI's ChatGPT, in terms of logical reasoning and language processing while asking it to create an ancient Chinese poem to celebrate my son's fourth birthday.
