A detailed comparison of the architectures of recent large language models (LLMs) including DeepSeek-V3, OLMo 2, Gemma 3, Mistral Small 3.1, Llama 4, Qwen3, SmolLM3, and Kimi 2, focusing on key design choices and their impact on performance and efficiency.
China appears to think homegrown AI startup DeepSeek could become a notable tech success story for the country. After DeepSeek's sudden rise to fame with the release of its open 'reasoning' model, R1, the company is now operating under new, tighter government-influenced restrictions.
Scientists are exploring the capabilities of the DeepSeek-R1 AI model, released by a Chinese firm. This open and cost-effective model performs comparably to industry leaders in solving mathematical and scientific problems. Researchers are leveraging its accessibility to create custom models for specific disciplines, although it still struggles with some tasks.
