Training DeepSeek was magnitudes cheaper than training the SOTA models it relied upon.

In theory, other countries should be able to replicate that effort and improve it.

I'd love for European countries to embrace their priorities around people and environment and train a model on public domain data that can run efficiently on cheap hardware. Redefine benchmarks around these ideals and optimise towards them, rather than trying to enter a race that you can't possibly win and didn't want to run in the first place.
