Meta's top AI scientist, Yann LeCun, said there was a "major misunderstanding" about how billions in AI investment will be used.
AI, DeepSeek and Zuckerberg
DeepSeek just shook up the artificial intelligence (AI) world in the biggest way since OpenAI launched ChatGPT in late 2022. The Chinese company's new R1 large language model (LLM) reportedly matches or beats OpenAI's o1 model on some benchmarks.
Meta, Nvidia, and other tech giants react to DeepSeek's competitive, cost-efficient models that challenge established market players.
Meta’s Yann LeCun asserts open-source AI is the future, as the Chinese open-source model DeepSeek challenges ChatGPT and Llama, reshaping the AI race.
Meta is increasingly concerned about DeepSeek, a Chinese AI firm, as its model outperforms traditional leaders at a lower cost. Meta’s chief AI scientist views it as a win for open-source development,
Meta has urgently assembled as many as four “war rooms” to determine how DeepSeek managed to release a game-changing AI assistant.
Meta's chief AI scientist, Yann LeCun, says DeepSeek's success with R1 says more about the value of open source than Chinese competition.
Mark Zuckerberg has long championed Meta Platforms Inc.’s open-source approach to artificial intelligence software — which lets other companies access and build on top of its technology — saying that having an American model as the underpinning of new products was key to ensuring US dominance over China in AI.
Meta’s Chief AI scientist Yann LeCun has given his assessment about the success that DeepSeek is enjoying in the artificial intelligence industry. According to LeCun, the biggest point to note in its rise is its vision to keep AI models open source so that everybody can benefit from it.
A Chinese artificial-intelligence company has Silicon Valley raving, calling it "amazing and impressive,"despite working with less-advanced chips.
China's DeepSeek is pressure-testing Zuckerberg’s strategy of embracing the open-source approach to AI development.
