On July 30, 2025, the AI community witnessed a significant milestone with the unveiling of DeepSeek, a revolutionary artificial intelligence system designed to push the boundaries of data analysis and resource exploration. Announced in a dedicated virtual conference, DeepSeek emerged as a collaborative effort by leading tech companies and research institutions focused on harnessing AI for large-scale, complex data ecosystems. What sets DeepSeek apart from conventional AI systems is its unique ability to navigate vast datasets with unprecedented efficiency. Using advanced deep learning algorithms and neural networks, it can sift through terabytes of information at lightning speed to provide insights previously inaccessible to human researchers. This capability is especially critical in industries such as medicine, ecology, and space exploration where the volume of data collected can be overwhelmingly large. One of DeepSeek's most acclaimed features is its application in natural resource identification. Leveraging satellite imaging and geological data, the AI can predict the presence of untapped natural resources like minerals or fossil fuels. This geospatial acuity reduces the cost and environmental impact of manual exploration and aids in the transition to more sustainable resource management practices. At the conference, attendees were particularly enthusiastic about the AI's potential application in medical research. DeepSeek is equipped to analyze complex biological data, identify patterns in genetic sequences, and predict disease outbreaks with high accuracy. By providing a faster pathway to understanding complex biological interactions, DeepSeek is positioned to be an indispensable tool in developing new medical treatments and preventive healthcare strategies. Contextual learning is another highlight of the AI, allowing it to draw connections between seemingly unrelated data points. This quality makes DeepSeek particularly useful in intelligence analysis and risk assessment, where identifying hidden patterns can be crucial. The AI's creators have stressed that its development was guided by strict ethical standards, prioritizing transparency and data privacy. To ensure responsible use, DeepSeek is equipped with built-in mechanisms to prevent bias and ensure equitable outcomes. By offering personalized AI-driven insights, it seeks to empower communities, organizations, and individuals in making informed decisions without compromising privacy. As AI continues to evolve, the launch of DeepSeek marks a significant step towards using artificial intelligence in complex problem-solving. It is hailed as a forerunner in the next generation of AI technologies, integrating massive datasets and providing actionable insights that were once considered out of reach. Attendees of the virtual conference have expressed optimism about how DeepSeek might contribute to addressing some of the world's most pressing challenges, from climate change to global health crises. With its remarkable capabilities, DeepSeek represents a promising advancement in utilizing AI for societal benefit.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Deep Seek has been at the center of global artificial
intelligence news this week, continuing to capture attention for its
striking technical advances and rapid international growth. In early twenty
twenty five, deep Seek, a Chinese start up, surprised both
industry leaders and government officials with its r IE language model,
which not only matched the reasoning capacity of top American systems,

(00:22):
but did so with unprecedented cost efficiency. The Washington Times
highlights how deep Seek's work was seen as a wake
up call for U S tech companies and security agencies,
with its r IE model demonstrating reasoning breakthroughs that even
OpenAI believed would remain an American domain for several more months.
The R one launch stunned the market by achieving wide

(00:43):
adoption almost overnight. Within one week, Deepseek's mobile app climbed
the top of the U S App Store, surpassing open
AI's Chat GPT for the first time since twenty twenty two.
As reported by American Bazaar, This caused historic disruption in
texter In Nvidia, a crucial supplier of AI hardware, lost

(01:04):
nearly nine percent in a single day, wiping out three
hundred billion dollars in market value before quickly rebounding as
analysts recognized deep Seek's innovations were driving new opportunities in
the hardware market rather than threatening it entirely. The R
one model's most notable feature remains its efficiency. Deep Seek

(01:26):
claims it cost under six million dollars to train, compared
to the roughly six hundred million dollars to one billion
dollars figures required for open AI's frontier models. Security research
from Strider and the Special Competitive Studies Project points to
another area of global interest. Deep Seek enabled assistant systems

(01:48):
are now supported by China's Heinan subse intelligent Computing Center.
This underwater facility, operating about thirty yards below sea level,
runs AI models that handle up to SI seven thousand
conversations per second. The center is a joint project involving
companies under US sanctions and is linked to organizations with

(02:09):
ties to Chinese military and state security. Intelligence experts believe
this infrastructure reflects not only China's commercial ambitions, but its
broader military and national security strategy, Underscoring the dual use
nature of advanced AI technologies. American researchers are examining whether

(02:29):
Chinese technological strategies differ substantially from the dominant approaches in
the United States. While U S labs have focused heavily
on large scale statistical language models, many in China have
pursued more biologically inspired algorithms, some modeled after human cognitive
or neural processes. At an AI conference in Washington last month,

(02:53):
Open AI's Katrina Mulligan publicly acknowledged that deep seeks leap
forward had forced a rethink king of assumptions about the
global AI race, noting that her team's previous confidence in
their lead had been shaken by deep Seek's achievements. Apple's
research division has entered the debate as well, publishing a
new paper challenging the widespread idea that current large language models,

(03:18):
including deep Seeks, are on a straight trajectory to artificial
general intelligence, pointing to key conceptual and technical bottlenecks. In
a sign of how quickly the landscape is changing, Deep
Seek now faces competition from other Chinese AI outfits. Zai,
for example, has released its own open source GLM four

(03:40):
point five model and claims even greater price performance. CNBC
reported that Zai's system costs just eleven cents per million
input tokens compared to deep Seek's fourteen cents, with output
costs also significantly lower. Z has recently ran raised one
dollar and five cents and is planning a high profile

IPO inside China, showing the scale and velocity of capital
flowing into the sector. Amid these breakthroughs, national policy responses
are accelerating. The Trump administration has rolled out an AI
Action Plan seeking to ensure US leadership in AI, while
biparties in policy panels advocate for a Manhattan Project style

(04:27):
initiative to advance American progress in artificial general intelligence. The
continuing advances out of China and deep Seek's influence on
global markets, technology strategy, and even national policy highlight how
the AI landscape is changing by the day. According to

(04:47):
crypto Neews, deep Seek's predictive analytics tools have even been
put to the test forecasting cryptocurrency prices, showing how its
technology is being rapidly commercialized across new domains. Thanks for
tuning in to this week's update on deep Seek and
the global AI race. Come back next week for more.
