The only book that explains it end-to-end.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn December 2024, a small Chinese AI lab released DeepSeek-V3 - a frontier-class language model trained for under $6 million when its Western competitors spent $50 million or more. A month later they released R1, a reasoning model that rivaled OpenAI's o1 at a fraction of the cost. By April 2026, DeepSeek-V4 Pro and Flash had taken the cost curve another order of magnitude lower while matching the quality of Claude Opus 4.7 and GPT-5.5 on real workloads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeepSeek didn't just release a model.
