The reason why DeepSeek has gained global popularity is their claim that it's developed in just 6 million usd budget. It's not about the model nor about its performance. The biggest challenge which ChatGPT has its disposal is to prove that the price of DeepSeek is not 6 million usd. Even if chatgpt role out its new model in 6 million usd, it will be a victory for DeepSeek that indeed it's possible to develop an AI model in such low budget. Time is running out for chatgpt and each passing day is giving more strength to China supremacy in AI.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. While DeepSeek's $6 million budget claim is impressive, evaluating an AI model's success requires more than just cost. Factors like performance, scalability, ethical standards, and real-world usability are equally, if not more, important. ChatGPT prioritizes safety, accuracy, and accessibility, which often demand higher investments to meet global standards.
It's also worth noting that the true cost of AI development includes not just initial budgets but also hardware, data, ongoing maintenance, and infrastructure—making transparency key in comparing claims like DeepSeek’s. Beyond cost, success in AI should be judged by its positive impact, not just budget efficiency.
Ultimately, competition drives progress in AI, but global collaboration is vital to ensure these advancements benefit everyone responsibly. ChatGPT remains focused on building impactful, high-quality tools for its users.
