First ever? Their math, coding, and other models have been making a splash since 2023.

The mythologizing around deepseek is just absurd.

"Deepseek is the tale of one lowly hedgefund manager overcoming the wicked American AI devils". Every day I hear variations of this, and the vast majority of it is based entirely in "vibes" emanating from some unknown place.

What I find amusing is that this closely mirrors the breakout moment OpenAI had with ChatGPT. They had been releasing models for quite some time before slapping the chatbot interface on it, and then it blew up within a few days.

It's fascinating that a couple of years and a few competitors in, the DeepSeek moment parallels it so closely.

Models and security are very different uses of our synapses. Publishing any number of models is no proof of anything beyond models. Talented mathematicians and programmers though they may be.
