We closed 2024 with o3 of the OpenAI model. The results it achieved were groundbreaking in AI and excited everyone. That’s where we said GPT is the model that will reach AGI

DAAAAT… I guess we were wrong

In the first weeks of 2025, a big break came from China. It suddenly attracted attention with a powerful model that proved their presence in the field of AI. The markets were upside down. According to CNBC’s report, NVIDIA’s shares fell 17%. DeepSeek’s allegations also led investors to question how much energy AI applications would actually consume, leading to a nearly 30% drop in Vistra shares and more than 20% drops in Talen and GE Vernova Energy shares.

And DeepSeek-R1 quickly entered our lives.

Actually, researchers in the field of AI knew about DeepSeek. But with its latest version, it dominated the LLM world and got on everyone’s radar. It surpassed ChatGPT as the most downloaded free app in the Apple App Store in the US.

So why did it attract so much attention?
