Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger’s surprising shift in opinion on AI technology, as he abandons OpenAI for DeepSeek, sparks debate and raises questions about the future of the industry.
The Rise of DeepSeek: A Game-Changer in AI Technology
News of Chinese AI company ‘We will obviously deliver much better models and also it’s legit invigorating to have a new competitor!’ has sent shockwaves throughout the West, causing Nvidia‘s stock valuation to plummet and sparking endless debate. The tech industry is abuzz with excitement as American startup gurus begin to jump ship.
Pat Gelsinger, former CEO of Intel, has made a bold statement after witnessing ‘My Gloo engineers are running [DeepSeek’s] R1 today,’ in action. His new church startup, Gloo, is ditching OpenAI‘s tech in favor of an in-house model. ‘They could’ve run [OpenAI’s] o1 — well, they can only access o1 through the APIs.’ Gelsinger told TechCrunch.
Gelsinger believes that DeepSeek will revolutionize the industry by lowering the cost to develop similar models, decreasing the barrier to entry. He is not alone in his enthusiasm, as tech journalists have noted DeepSeek’s faster and cheaper performance compared to OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.
Even President Trump has taken notice of DeepSeek‘s success, calling it a ‘wake-up call’ at a House GOP meeting. He further praised the R1 model, stating that it could be a ‘very much positive development’ for American companies looking to cut costs.
However, not everyone is celebrating DeepSeek’s achievement. OpenAI CEO ‘We will obviously deliver much better models and also it’s legit invigorating to have a new competitor!’ responded with a statement, saying. Mark Zuckerberg, now the right-wing Meta CEO, has reportedly assembled a team of engineers to dissect the Chinese software.
OpenAI is a research organization focused on developing and advancing artificial intelligence (AI) in a responsible manner.
Founded in 2015, the company has made significant contributions to natural language processing, computer vision, and reinforcement learning from human feedback.
Its flagship model, GPT-3, has demonstrated impressive capabilities in generating human-like text and responding to user input.
OpenAI's mission is to ensure that AI benefits humanity as a whole, while mitigating potential risks and negative consequences.
Elon Musk and Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang have also expressed concerns, accusing DeepSeek of lying about its number of H100 graphics cards. However, they have provided no evidence to support their claims. Startup investor Joshua Kushner took to X-formerly-Twitter to echo Musk’s sentiments, raising vague xenophobic accusations against DeepSeek.
Despite the controversy, one thing is clear: DeepSeek has shaken up the game. The onus is now on the American tech sector to demonstrate why they still deserve the most lavish infrastructure investment in history.
