DeepSeek-R1 Disrupts AI Industry With Reinforcement Learning

DeepSeek-R1 disrupts AI industry with reinforcement learning, outperforming OpenAI's model in reasoning. Generates new chains of thought without large data sets, ideal for coding & math.

DeepSeek-R1 is primed to disrupt the entire AI industry.
Look at what happened to the stock market!
But how does it differ from OpenAI's model?

OpenAI: generates chains-of-thought data using a normal model and fine-tunes it for reasoning
DeepSeek: uses reinforcement learning to train its model for reasoning without generating large amounts of data

Benefits:

DeepSeek's approach can reason better than the original model as it generates new chains of thought

Limitations:

DeepSeek's approach is restricted to chains-of-thought that can be verified mechanistically, mainly useful for coding and...
