I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.

Altman stated that the mainland AI large model DeepSeek-R1 is impressive, especially its low cost. OpenAI will continue to launch better models, looking forward to the arrival of general artificial intelligence. DeepSeek's pricing is only one-thirtieth of OpenAI's o1, shocking Silicon Valley and causing Nvidia's stock price to plummet. DeepSeek has surpassed ChatGPT in download volume, becoming a popular application. Analysts believe that DeepSeek's success may lead to a reevaluation of AI model development methods, driving faster innovation and intensifying competition between China and the United States in the AI field

[Hong Kong Economic Journal] The low-cost mainland artificial intelligence (AI) large model DeepSeek has become popular. Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, the developer of competitor ChatGPT, stated that DeepSeek-R1 is an impressive model, especially considering its price.

Altman pointed out on social platform X (formerly Twitter) that having such new competitors is exciting, and OpenAI will continue to pursue its research path to launch better models, believing that more computing power will become increasingly important.

He also mentioned that the world will need to use artificial intelligence extensively and expressed curiosity about the arrival of the next generation of models, looking forward to bringing "Artificial General Intelligence" (AGI) and more groundbreaking results to everyone.

The mainland hedge fund Huanfang Quantitative's AI startup DeepSeek released its new inference model DeepSeek-R1 last week. DeepSeek claims that the model's performance in tasks such as mathematics, coding, and natural language reasoning rivals that of OpenAI's o1 official version. Although the training cost of R1 has not been disclosed, its pricing is only one-thirtieth of OpenAI's o1, causing a stir in the global tech community and shocking Silicon Valley tech giants, leading to a 16.9% drop in the stock price of AI chip leader Nvidia, evaporating $589 billion in market value (equivalent to nearly HKD 4.6 trillion). DeepSeek's download volume surpassed ChatGPT, Doubao, and other AI applications for two consecutive days, ranking first in the free app download charts on iOS in both the United States and China.

Earlier, U.S. President Trump stated that DeepSeek's technology serves as a wake-up call for the U.S. industry and is a spur for American companies; the U.S. needs to focus on winning in competition.

Morgan Stanley analysts believe that DeepSeek's success may challenge the status quo, allowing for a reassessment of AI model development methods; it could drive faster innovation in the AI field and place China and the U.S. on a more equal footing in AI. Additionally, DeepSeek's approach may prompt companies like ByteDance and Alibaba (09988) to lower the usage prices of their AI models, intensifying global competition
