further details:

Meanwhile, the French financing will include commitments from the United Arab Emirates, American and Canadian investments funds and French companies like telecommunications firms Iliad and Orange, and aerospace and defense group Thales

A few days before France’s AI Action Summit, which kicked off on Monday, the UAE said it would invest between 30 billion euros and 50 billion euros in the construction of a one-gigawatt AI data center in France as part of a campus focused on the technology’s development.

Macron, you stupid slut, there's been nothing but news for the past month about how cheap you can build a competitor to the former top models.

[–] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (11 children)

Building a cheaper model that's not as good as the top AI models is not the best way to build AI models, cheaper yes, but Deepseek isn't the best AI model out there, it still gets beat by Googles/Claudes/OpenAI etc

A better way would be to combine the Deepseek training optimisations with raw power of Americas/nvidias hardware

We're still at an early stage with AI, there's nothing to suggest we're anywhere near the end of Jevons paradox

Sometimes Claude Haiku (which has few billion parameters) knows things that ChatGPT doesn't.
