Clever architecture over raw compute: DeepSeek shatters the ‘bigger is better’ approach to AI development
Chains of smaller, specialized AI agents aren't just more efficient — they will help solve problems in ways we never imagined.
The DeepSeek breakthrough — achieving state-of-the-art performance without relying on the most advanced chips — proves what many at NeurIPS in December had already declared: AI’s future isn’t about throwing more compute at problems — it’s about reimagining how these systems work with humans and our environment. DeepSeek’s breakthrough validates this perspective — the China company’s researchers achieved comparable performance to OpenAI’s o1 at a fraction of the cost, demonstrating that innovation, not just raw computing power, is the path forward. We’re seeing early wins: Meta’s recent update to their Ray-Ban smart glasses enables continuous, contextual conversations with AI assistants without wake words, alongside real-time translation.
