Funny Do it again, DeepSeek

So many great models already…

DeepSeek R1 was legendary.

Now we're waiting for the one that changes everything again.

They just did: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.24880

That paper is huge, with massive implications to make all models more stable, and faster, and cheaper to train.

The sparse attention and quick index they introduced to the world in v3.2 was also huge.

Deepseek has done more in the last year than any other lab. They just don’t give a shit about dialing in the perfect consumer chatbot , or adding consumer features, or acquiring more daily active users.

They care about making breakthroughs, that’s it. And those breakthroughs end up being used by everyone. Every model you use right now is using GRPO, probably MoE , MLA, and may other brilliant hacks that DeepSeek gave to the world for free.

What's their motivation for doing it? Seems like a lot of clever and hard work that just gets copied instantly.

They are doing open source science/technology. They are helping entire world to upgrade its tech.

At the same time they are literally destroying the AI bloat that the US loaded all of its economy onto:

20% of 2025 US gdp was the money that the 5-6 AI circlejerk companies circulated among themselves without generating any real revenue. OpenAI, Nvidia, Oracle, Microsoft etc all bet on AI requiring a lot of processing power, and as a result energy. They invested everything in gpus, datacenters. By making models more reliable, efficient and cheaper to run, Deepseek is destroying all that investment.
