Since Deepseek caused the biggest destruction of market value in twenty-four hours among American tech groups on Monday, January 27, he escaped anyone that this artificial intelligence start-up (IA) is Chinese . But another of its characteristics, less highlighted, is probably as important: its AI models are said to be “open”. “This means that everyone can use them, modify and build them for free. This is very exciting for the open source community, ”notes, in Les Echos, Adina Yakefu, a Hugging Face researcher, the Publication Publication Publication Platform. Made available by Deepseek, the V3 and R1 models, as well as their variants, have already been downloaded more than 700,000 times by developers and businesses. “The balance of power now seems to move according to two axes: one between the United States and China, the other between closed models and open models,” also analyzes Google’s ex-boss, Eric Schmidt, in a forum published by the Washington Post, Tuesday January 28. The open AI has the hope of another path in the face of domination of the sector by American digital giants such as Openai and its partner Microsoft or Anthropic and its Amazon or Google partners. Often open at their beginnings, they have evolved, in the name of the profitability of their investments, towards closed models, whose details are opaque, owners (private), and whose access is exclusively payable. The open AI also allows companies or administrations in theory to master their technology. By obtaining similar performance with less computer calculations, therefore energy and resources, Deepseek in principle reinforces the hope of a more frugal AI. Behind this start-up and the next Paris summit hides the stake of a more open and more sober AI. But it is not guaranteed. The debate has subtleties and challenges.
