Medial
DeepSeek's new AI model, DeepSeek V3, recently introduced, is highly efficient, particularly in text-based tasks. Interestingly, it mistakenly identifies itself as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, likely due to being trained on GPT-4-generated data. This confusion reflects broader challenges in AI development, as recycled data can degrade model quality, causing hallucinations and misguided outputs. Concerns arise that such models might perpetuate existing biases and flaws, sparking discussions about ethical training practices in AI development.

DeepSeek's latest AI model, R1-0528, exhibits high performance in coding, math, and general knowledge tests, nearing OpenAI's o3 model. However, it's less responsive to controversial topics, especially those censored by the Chinese government. The model significantly limits discussions on sensitive subjects, adhering to China's 2023 law restricting content that opposes state narratives. While sometimes critical of certain policies, R1-0528 often reflects the official government stance in its responses.
