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.

TIG redefines the frontier of computational research by transforming PoW into a global engine for open, autonomous innovation.

As Chinese researchers could’t buy SOTA hardware, they relied on algorithm optimization to achieve a breakthrough (and kept their models open)

They’ve shown how innovative algorithms can outperform bigger (and more) machines

** Algorithms are more impactful than hardware **

This is the ethos @tigfoundation and what it's is built for
