Reports indicate that their new model, **DeepSeek-R1**, is disrupting the AI market[cite: 1].
Efficiency is Key:
[cite_start]
DeepSeek claims to achieve high performance while using significantly "fewer computing resources"[cite: 1]. In a world where training AI models costs millions in server time, a model that does the same work cheaper and lighter could change the rules of the game.
Physical AI & Regulation:
The conflict has also entered the physical realm. [cite_start]Tech giants have announced a new generation of home Humanoid robots powered by advanced GPT-6 and Gemini 3.0 models for public release in 2026[cite: 7]. [cite_start]Meanwhile, in the US, 38 states have enacted new regulations regarding deepfakes and the use of AI in elections and healthcare[cite: 1, 2].
