China’s DeepSeek finds a way to help AI get better at answering questions. Here’s how it works

Chinese AI start-up DeepSeek has introduced a new way to improve the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) to deliver better and faster results to general queries than its competitors. 

DeepSeek sparked a frenzy in January when it came onto the scene with R1, an artificial intelligence (AI) model and chatbot that the company claimed was cheaper and performed just as well as OpenAI's rival ChatGPT model.
