DeepSeek’s Secret Formula: Innovation Without Limits

DeepSeek’s Secret Formula: Innovation Without Limits
👋 Hi, I am Mark. I am a strategic futurist and innovation keynote speaker. I advise governments and enterprises on emerging technologies such as AI or the metaverse. My subscribers receive a free weekly newsletter on cutting-edge technology.

DeepSeek’s approach demonstrates how meticulous engineering and creative problem-solving can unlock frontier AI capabilities, raising questions about the long-term effectiveness of hardware-centric export controls.
