"Marc Andreessen, a co-inventor of the pioneering Mosaic web browser, co-founder of the Netscape browser company and current general partner at the famed Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) venture capital firm, posted on X today: “Deepseek R1 is one of the most amazing and impressive breakthroughs I’ve ever seen — and as open source, a profound gift to the world."
Yann LeCun, the Chief AI Scientist for Meta’s Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) division, posted on his LinkedIn account:
“To people who see the performance of DeepSeek and think:
‘China is surpassing the US in AI.’
You are reading this wrong.
The correct reading is:
‘Open source models are surpassing proprietary ones.’
And even Mark “Zuck” Zuckerberg, Meta AI’s founder and CEO, seemed to seek to counter the rise of DeepSeek with his own post on Facebook promising that a new version of Facebook’s open source AI model family Llama would be “the leading state of the art model” when it is released sometime this year. As he put it:
“This will be a defining year for AI. In 2025, I expect Meta AI will be the leading assistant serving more than 1 billion people, Llama 4 will become the leading state of the art model, and we’ll build an AI engineer that will start contributing increasing amounts of code to our R&D efforts. To power this, Meta is building a 2GW+ datacenter that is so large it would cover a significant part of Manhattan. We’ll bring online ~1GW of compute in ’25 and we’ll end the year with more than 1.3 million GPUs.
