DeepSeek hits the scene — MUCH too early to say how this open-source platform will play out here in the United States. Things are tense between the U.S. and Chian.

Over the last week, pretty much everyone in the AI space has been losing their minds over Deepseek R1. The open source community has been loving it, the closed source tech giants have been less than loving it, and even the mainstream media is starting to pick up on how last week’s R1 launch was a big deal

We’ve been trying to understand just how powerful R1 really is, so we rounded up everything we could find that shows off just what this little AI side project can do.

Here’s some WILD demos of what people have done with Deepseek R1 so far:

AI supremacy isn’t just about compute or U.S. leadership, it’s about how you work to make models more efficient and improve their accessibility for everyone.

Over the last week especially but over the last month generally, the AI Zeitgeist is flooding with what DeepSeek’s R1 means for the larger ecosystem and the future of AI as a whole. See some articles I’m reading on DeepSeek here (Google Doc).

It’s an important moment in so far as everything from export controls to AI Infrastructure, to capex spend or AI talent moats are being put into question.
