DeepSeek R1, a Chinese open-source LLM, is making waves in the tech landscape for its superior performance compared to OpenAI's best while requiring substantially fewer computing and training resources. Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger took to X and praised the model with compliments. In a chat with TechCrunch, he revealed that his startup will use DeepSeek over OpenAI.
If you haven't been keeping up with industry news, Pat Gelsinger stepped down as CEO of Intel last month and was replaced by two interim CEOs. Speculation suggests that Intel's disappointing stock market results contributed to Gelsinger's dismissal or ousting by the board. Nonetheless, Gelsinger now serves as chairman of his new startup, Gloo, which is reportedly a messaging platform for Churches.
