DeepSeek, How much tech is packed in?

  The emergence of DeepSeek AI, a powerful Chinese language model, has sent shockwaves through the US AI industry. Developed with a focus on cost-effectiveness, DeepSeek reportedly functions effectively on lower-end hardware, a stark contrast to US models heavily reliant on high-end chips like Nvidia's. This revelation triggered a significant sell-off in Nvidia stock, highlighting the potential disruption to the current AI landscape.

Last night, I downloaded DeepSeek to take a peek and lo and behold, at first sight, looked as good as the Copilot, Gemini AI, and others I have come across.

Well, what does it lack?

 However, a notable limitation became apparent: DeepSeek lacks robust image generation capabilities. While it can provide code snippets (like Python with Kivy) to generate images, this approach is less user-friendly and may be hindered by the limitations of lower-end hardware in processing and rendering graphics. In contrast, US models excel in not only creating images but also seamlessly modifying them based on simple text prompts.   This is clearly beyond low-end chips.

This development necessitates a renewed focus on innovation and optimization within the US AI sector. US developers must prioritize improving model efficiency and exploring alternative hardware solutions to maintain a competitive edge. While DeepSeek presents a significant challenge, it also serves as a valuable catalyst for further advancements in AI technology.

Any other disquieting news?

DeepSeek did not do so well in "misguided attention evaluation" and performed answering only 22% prompts in 13 test questions. Here is a comparative test using others at the Github site ( https://github.com/cpldcpu/MisguidedAttention/tree/main/eval#readme):

Good News: Windows 10 developers get an AI Platform

Microsoft is parterning with others such as Intel, NVIDIA, QualComm, and AMD to bring in the full force of AI to several of Microsoft programs like Windows 10, Bing, Cortana and Office 365.

Adding an Open Neural Network Exchange format (ONNX)(http://onnx.ai/) file to a UWP project will automatically generate model interfaces in the Visual Studio Preview 15.7. For other versions one can use the MLGen Tool to generate code to add to projects. You may also look out for Visual Studio tools for AI here.

Apps will have AI. Whatever you did earlier without Ai, you will be able to do it more efficiently, more efforlessly like listening to playlist for your ears only, Communicating better, and more.

Here are comments from the partners regarding what they bring to the table:

Intel:
“Intel’s Movidius VPU technology will deliver increasingly sophisticated AI experiences for the hundreds of millions of Microsoft users worldwide,” said Intel’s Remi El-Ouazzane, Vice President and General Manager of Movidius.”

Nvidia:
“AI acceleration on Window 10 PCs is the latest evidence of how artificial intelligence is becoming ubiquitous in our everyday lives,” said Ian Buck, vice president and general manager, Accelerated Computing, at NVIDIA. “NVIDIA is delighted to be partnering with Microsoft to enhance the PC experience for users worldwide.”

Qualcomm:
“We’re excited to be collaborating with Microsoft on the Windows ML platform, and helping developers accelerate on-device AI performance on Windows laptops with the Snapdragon 835 AI Engine.” “We’re excited to be collaborating with Microsoft on the Windows ML platform, and helping developers accelerate on-device AI performance on Windows laptops with the Snapdragon 835 AI Engine.” Gary Brotman, Director of Product Management – AI and Machine Learning, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

AMD:
“We’re excited to work with Microsoft on Windows ML as a part of taking advantage of the high-performance capabilities of AMD CPUs and GPUs to bring AI acceleration to Windows 10 PCs.” – Andre Zdravkovic, CVP Software, AMD

Windows 10 version 'Red Stone 4'will include ML capabilities.
