One of the most remarkable aspects of DeepSeek is its affordability. As stated in a recent
report, it was developed with a budget estimated at around
$6 million. In comparison, many of its rivals, like OpenAI and Google, spend upwards of
$60 million to create similar AI models. This significant cost difference not only increases the accessibility of AI technology but also raises questions about the sustainability of traditional models that rely on extensive funding and resources.
