China's DeepSeek previews new model adapted for Huawei chip technology
The Chinese startup says the open-source models rival top closed systems while cutting token costs to as low as $0.14 per million input tokens.
- The Hangzhou-based DeepSeek released a "preview" version of its DeepSeek-V4 model on Friday, aiming to compete with top-tier artificial intelligence systems from American rivals like OpenAI and Google DeepMind.
- Founded in 2023, the startup gained global attention with free, open-source models that historically achieved performance benchmarks matching leading LLMs at a fraction of the cost of U.S. competitors.
- The new DeepSeek-V4 "features an ultra-long context of 1 million words, achieving leadership in both domestic and open-source fields," the company said; it is available in DeepSeek-V4-Pro and DeepSeek-V4-Flash versions.
- Optimized for agent tools like Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenClaw, DeepSeek-V4 trails Google's Gemini-Pro-3 in world knowledge benchmarks, though the company claimed strong results against domestic competitors.
- Amid intensifying technological competition, reports suggest DeepSeek optimized the model for Huawei Technologies' Ascend chips, while officials prior to release accused the company of using banned Nvidia Blackwell hardware.
