The drama around DeepSeek develops on an incorrect facility: Large language models are the Holy Grail. This ... [+] misdirected belief has driven much of the AI investment craze.

The story about DeepSeek has actually interrupted the dominating AI story, impacted the markets and stimulated a media storm: A large language design from China takes on the leading LLMs from the U.S. - and it does so without needing almost the costly computational investment. Maybe the U.S. doesn't have the technological lead we believed. Maybe loads of GPUs aren't essential for AI's unique sauce.

But the heightened drama of this story rests on a false premise: LLMs are the Holy Grail. Here's why the stakes aren't nearly as high as they're constructed to be and the AI financial investment frenzy has been misguided.

Amazement At Large Language Models

Don't get me incorrect - LLMs represent unprecedented progress. I have actually remained in device knowing since 1992 - the very first 6 of those years operating in natural language processing research - and I never thought I 'd see anything like LLMs throughout my lifetime.
