时文阅读——讲好中国故事 中国 AI 模型 DeepSeek-R1 震惊世界 [新素材]
A Cool New AI Friend for Everyone!
On 20 January, 2025, a Chinese tech company called DeepSeek created a super-smart AI named DeepSeek-R1. This “thinking robot” can solve math problems, write computer code, and answer questions just like the famous GPT-4o—but it’s much cheaper to make! The team spent only $5.58 million(that’s $\frac{1}{70}$ of what OpenAI paid) and used 2,048 computer parts to train it in just two months. Wow, smart ideas can really beat big money!• How Does R1 Learn?Unlike other AIs that need teachers to show them millions of examples, R1 learns by trying many times and getting better, like how students practice maths. It got 79.8% correct on a worldwide math test, a little higher than GPT-4o. Even better: a special R1 runs on old computers, so schools and small businesses can use it for free!• Why Is This Important?R1 is open to everyone to use and change. On its first day online, 19,000 programmers from around the world started testing with it. A German scientist said experiments with R1 cost $10 instead of $300 with other AIs. Even Meta, a giant U.S. tech company, is worried. Their top scientist said, “This free AI could change the world.”• China’s Big LeapThe U.S. companies like Meta are spending $65 billion on AI, but experts say China is catching up fast. A famous science magazine, Nature, called R1 a “big leap forward.”
As one DeepSeek engineer said, “We want AI to be a friend for everyone—not just rich people.”

With R1, China shows that great leaps come from new ideas and hard work, not just money.
