DeepSeek, a Chinese AI firm, has launched its upgraded R1 model, DeepSeek-R1-0528, showcasing enhanced mathematical reasoning and programming abilities. This model is said to rival industry leaders like OpenAI's o3 and Google's Gemini 2.

Microsoft’s enterprise-grade infrastructure does the heavy lifting, while Hugging Face brings in the community innovation. “We’re giving developers the freedom to pick the best model for the job, and helping organisations innovate safely and at scale,” said Asha Sharma, corporate VP at Microsoft.

Chinese AI startup DeepSeek quietly released an upgraded R1 model that rivals OpenAI's o4 mini and outperforms Elon Musk's Grok 3 mini, reinforcing China's rising AI competitiveness.

In the high-stakes arena of AI, a fascinating new narrative is emerging. Google's recent I/O prominently featured Chinese AI models alongside U.S. tech stalwarts.
