Forget ChatGPT? China’s DeepSeek is working on smarter, self-improving AI models

After shaking up Silicon Valley with AI models earlier this year, Chinese startup DeepSeek is working on another innovation to help reduce operational costs. The new approach, first revealed in a pre-print paper, discusses the use of a technique called self-principled critique tuning to make AI models smarter and more efficient in a self-improving way. DeepSeek says its new AI models beat Google's Gemini 1.5 Pro, Meta's Llama 3.1 and OpenAI's GPT-4o in benchmark scores. DeepSeek's AI models went public in January when the chatbot overtook ChatGPT as the most popular app on Apple and Google's App Store.
