The reason why DeepSeek is such big news is because it's free, open source and appears to show it's possible to create chatbots that can compete with models like ChatGPT's o1 for a fraction of the cost. It's a story that continues to develop by the minute too, as rivals like OpenAI and Nvidia publicly comment on the emergence of China's new AI disruptor, while the Australian government raises privacy concerns about DeepSeek.
