DeepSeek tries to bitcoinize artificial intelligence

DeepSeek demonstrates, like bitcoin, that an open source technology can be useful and efficient.

This AI casts doubt on the tendency to privatize technologies to guarantee efficiency.

DeepSeek can be executed locally and does not depend on a server, just like Bitcoin.

Bitcoin and DeepSeek share something in common: they are technologies that use open source and collaborative development. They also share another trait, a controversial one: they are disruptive technologies that improve on the previous ones. They surpass them even when they are privatized by large technology companies or entities with access to almost infinite financing.

As CriptoNoticias reported, DeepSeek is responsible for the fall of the markets after the superior capabilities of its model raised doubts about the future of the technology companies that currently lead the sector, such as OpenIA or Microsoft.

As far as DeepSeek is concerned, its language model can be executed locally. That is, its open source software is licensed by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and can be downloaded, installed, and operated directly from the user's computers or servers. Of course, DeepSeek is not the only generative AI system that uses open source (Stable Diffusion or Llama use it), although it is the most efficient.

In contrast, technologies such as ChatGPT, the popular language model (LLM), is proprietary software. The predecessors of this model were open source, but the current one is software that depends entirely on OpenIA, the provider and company that designed it, to function correctly.
