DeepSeek V3.1 just dropped — and it might be the most powerful open AI yet

Summary
DeepSeek, China’s equivalent to OpenAI, has released DeepSeek V3.1 with a whopping 685 billion parameters, completely open source, which have been getting great results in early testing, challenging the dominance of American AI companies.
This is a huge move as it signals a shift away from American AI companies monetising their models with restrictions and towards open sourcing the technology, which will only help to enhance it, as we’ve seen with DeepSeek V3.1.
This will be disruptive to the AI industry as it will likely accelerate the development of the technology and make it more accessible, making it harder for American companies to keep their models closed and therefore harder to charge premium prices.
Though it may be a challenge for companies to adapt to this new paradigm, it will ultimately speed up the development of AI technologies.
