Depsik … Did the major artificial intelligence companies lose their superiority?

The Chinese Dibsic Small Company shook the Tructering AI at the end of January with its low -cost but high -performance program, to the point that it prompted to reconsider the dominance of major companies, including “Oben AI”, on the sector. Over the past two years, a handful of artificial intelligence -based assistance programs succeeded in consolidating its existence, from “Chat BT” to “Claude” (from “Anthropic”) through “Gemenai” from “Google”, thanks to billions of dollars in investments to deal with the best engineers and publish the necessary capabilities (chips, servers and data centers). But “Dibsic” has created its “R1” model with a lower number of processors, without using the most advanced chips, at a declared cost of only six million dollars.

“Dibsic” revolution occurs

For many, this development was a revolution, as it shed light on a movement that had been around for months, which is the “gossip” of obstetric intelligence programs. “The cost of launching a decrease model, and the issue of determining the model to be relied upon, is its importance declining,” says Hijing Weiss, co -co -founder of the artificial intelligence platform, Thomas Wolf. He adds that “people are heading towards a multi -style world,” and “that one has the freedom of cucumber is amazing.” He believes that the cold reception by the sector and the media to launch the “Chat BT 4.5” (from “Oben AI”), at the end of February, is an example of this trend.

Open sources

Kevin Whale, director of the Oben AI, confirmed at the Human XAI conference, which was recently held in Las Vegas, that the saying that all models are similar “not correct.” “We will never be 12 months ahead of our competitors, but we are still applying between three to six months,” he added. With 400 million individual users, the startup American company, according to Will, benefits from the effect of a size that gives it a feature related to the data derived from the massive use, used to improve its models continuously.

“I think it will remain at the forefront, but the gap between it and other companies will decrease, and in many cases, it will be used” with other programs, “says Jeff Sepert, “For the most advanced applications, there will be a difference, but for most other uses, this will not be of great importance. So my advice to entrepreneurs and investors is to ensure that the user can easily move between the models.”

The best use of chips and new models improvement techniques reduce the cost of design of the large linguistic model, which is the hidden engine under the hood “Chat BT” or “Gemenai” from Google. The rise of “open sources”, that is, the publication of a program for free and open use, contributes to the spread of obstetric intelligence platforms. Angelo Zeno of CFRA says that the evaluation of specialists in large models of companies such as “Oben AI” and “Anthropic”, which are a few groups that resist open sources, “may have reached its climax, with the effective effect of speed.”

But this did not prevent the Japanese investment company Soft Bank from pumping $ 40 billion in the capital of “Oben AI” in February. This process estimates the company at 300 billion dollars, which is twice the value it was last year. In early March, “Anthropic” raised an amount of 3.5 billion dollars, which estimates the company’s value at 61.5 billion dollars. “If you get a billion dollars in cash every month, and this is the case I think with Open AI, you should continue to raise funds until your revenues exceed this amount, and I find it difficult to see how they will get there,” says Jay Das of the Capital Capital of Safir Vanters.
