== Introduction

The AI landscape is becoming increasingly competitive, with Chinese and American startups investing billions of dollars in advanced AI models. However, one of the biggest challenges is the high cost of premium commercial models.

DeepSeek is a Chinese startup that has addressed this issue by releasing a top-tier AI model that rivals those of leading American companies without exclusive costs. The model, called DeepSeek-V3.2, uses open-source technologies and achieves comparable performance to premium commercial models.
