China’s DeepSeek is ready with version 2. What to expect

Chinese media reports claim that DeepSeek R2 will be 97.3 per cent cheaper than OpenAI’s GPT-4o model. The new version of the artificial intelligence model will completely rely on Huawei’s Ascend 910B GPU cluster, signalling a total independence from American-made AI chips

Globally, DeepSeek has faced increasing scrutiny since its release in January. Although the tool gained initial acclaim for its efficient open-source AI model, governments have raised red flags over its data practices. Image Credit: Reuters
