they explain it in the article: this is the first iteration, so they wanted to start with something simple, ie, this is a tech demo.

Ok then I look forward to seeing DeepSeek running instantly at the end of April.

  • Why so negative lol. The speed and very reduced power use of this thing are nothing to be sneezed at. I mean, hardware accelerated LLMs are a huge step forward. But yeah, this is a proof of concept, basically. I wouldn't be surprised if the size factor and the power use go down even more, and that we'll start seeing stuff like this in all kinds of hardware. It's an enabler.

    • You don't know. You just have marketing materials, not independent analysis. Maybe it actually takes 2 years to design and manufacture the hardware, so anything that comes out will be badly out of date. Wouldn't be the first time someone lied. A good demo backed by millions of dollars should not allow such speculation.
