Team Says They've Recreated DeepSeek's OpenAI Killer for Literally $30

You might've heard of the hardware guru who crammed the videogame Doom into a pregnancy test. Well, the AI-geek equivalent just figured out how to reproduce DeepSeek's buzzy tech for the cost of a few dozen eggs. Jiayi Pan, a PhD candidate at the University of California, Berkeley, claims that he and his AI research team have recreated core functions of DeepSeek's R1-Zero for just $30 — a comically more limited budget than DeepSeek, which rattle…
