Brian Gallagher – Why Almost Everybody Is Wrong About DeepSeek vs. All the Other AI Companies
Benchmarks don’t capture real-world complexity like latency, domain-specific tasks, or edge cases. Enterprises often need more than raw performance, also needing reliability, ease of integration, and robust vendor support. Enterprise money will support the industries providing these services.
… it is also reasonable to assume that anything you put into the app or their website will be going to the Chinese government as well, so factor that in as well.

One-Prompt-One-Story – Free-Lunch Consistent Text-to-Image Generation Using a Single Prompt
https://byliutao.github.io/1Prompt1Story.github.io
Tneration models can create high-quality images from input prompts. However, they struggle to support the consistent generation of identity-preserving requirements for storytelling.
Our approach 1Prompt1Story concatenates all prompts into a single input for T2I diffusion models, initially preserving character identities.

What did DeepSeek figure out about reasoning with DeepSeek-R1?
https://www.seangoedecke.com/deepseek-r1
The Chinese AI lab DeepSeek recently released their new reasoning model R1, which is supposedly (a) better than the current best reasoning models (OpenAI’s o1- series), and (b) was trained on a GPU cluster a fraction the size of any of the big western AI labs.
DeepSeek uses a reinforcement learning approach, not a fine-tuning approach. There’s no need to generate a huge body of chain-of-thought data ahead of time, and there’s no need to run an expensive answer-checking model. Instead, the model generates its own chains-of-thought as it goes.
The secret behind their success? A bold move to train their models using FP8 (8-bit floating-point precision) instead of the standard FP32 (32-bit floating-point precision).
…
By using a clever system that applies high precision only when absolutely necessary, they achieved incredible efficiency without losing accuracy.
…
The impressive part? These multi-token predictions are about 85–90% accurate, meaning DeepSeek R1 can deliver high-quality answers at double the speed of its competitors.Chinese AI firm DeepSeek has 50,000 NVIDIA H100 AI GPUs
