DeepSeek just accelerated all development timelines.

We were settling into the “fact” this stuff was going to cost $100Bs to build, that it was going to be closed source. Monopolised.

& then DeepSeek outperformed all leading models at fractions of cost 

And open sourced the tech

Now any AI builder has access to the most powerful model.

Truly a gift for open source, and even bigger one for AI development.

@amin That’s absolutely groundbreaking! DeepSeek just flipped the narrative on what's possible in AI development. Open-sourcing a model that outperforms leading ones at a fraction of the cost is a massive win for innovation and decentralization. It feels like a pivotal moment not just for AI builders, but for the entire tech landscape. Curious to see how this shifts power dynamics and accelerates progress across industries. 🚀
