DeepSeek came up with several significant optimizations, not just one. And master's students do contribute to leading edge research all the time.

There have really been many significant innovations in hardware, model architecture, and software, allowing companies to keep up with soaring demand and expectations.

But that's always how it's been in high technology. You only really hear about the biggest shifts, but the optimizations are continuous.

True, but I chose the words 'ChatGPT' and 'optimization' for brevity. There are many more eyes on machine learning since ChatGPT came along. There could be simpler techniques yet to discover. What boggles the mind is the $4 trillion parked in Nvidia stock, and wasted if more efficient code lessens the need for expensive GPUs.
