DEEPSEEK

šŸ‹DeepSeek Claims 545% Daily Profit Margins

Chinese AI Lab DeepSeek recently claimed that ā€œDeepSeek-R1ā€ and ā€œDeepSeek-V3ā€ have a theoretical daily profit margin of 545%.

Key Details:
  • If renting a single NVIDIA H800 GPU is $2 per hour, the daily compute needed to run ā€œDeepSeek-R1ā€ and ā€œDeepSeek-V3ā€ costs $87,072.

  • The Chinese AI Labā€™s pricing strategy includes three factors:

    1. Cache Hit: $0.14 per Million Input Tokens

    2. Cache Miss: $0.55 per Million Input Tokens

    3. Output Tokens: $2.19 per Million Output Tokens

  • With 342 billion Cache Hits, 266 billion Cache Misses, and 168 billion Output Tokens per day, the theoretical daily revenue generated by these AI models is roughly $562,027.

Why Itā€™s Important:
  • Itā€™s based on idealized conditions that overlook real-world variables that drastically alter the financial picture. For instance, DeepSeek offers lower prices on Cache Hit, Cache Miss, and Output Tokens for developers during off-peak hours.

  • But it still highlights ā€œDeepSeek-R1ā€™sā€ impressive ability to compete with U.S. AI firms at a fraction of the cost with half the computational resources.

AI AND ROBOTS

šŸ¦¾AI Teaches Robots to Listen and Think Harder

Image Source: Physical Intelligence (Ļ€)/ā€œTeaching Robots to Listen and Think Harderā€/Screenshot

Physical Intelligence (Ļ€), a company bringing general-purpose AI into the physical world, developed ā€œHierarchical Interactive Robot (Hi Robot).ā€

Key Details:
  • Ļ€ outlines two ways humans solve problems:

    1. System 1: Instinctual and automatic (e.g., driving a familiar route home).

    2. System 2: Deliberate and conscious (e.g., trying a new recipe).

  • ā€œHi Robotā€ equips robots with the ability to solve problems using System 1 or System 2, depending on the task at hand.

  • System 1 acts as the robotā€™s ā€œinstincts,ā€ allowing it to react quickly to familiar situations. System 2 acts as the robotā€™s ā€œplanner,ā€ allowing it to think through new challenges.

Why Itā€™s Important:
  • Ļ€ is bridging the gap between rigid automation and truly intelligent behavior.

  • ā€œHi Robotā€ moves robots beyond simple, pre-programmed actions, enabling them to make more nuanced and contextually appropriate decisions.

THE AI RACE

šŸ‡ØšŸ‡³Chinaā€™s AI Experts Canā€™t Travel to the U.S.

Chinese authorities are instructing the countryā€™s top AI Experts to avoid traveling to the U.S., fearing they could divulge confidential information about the nationā€™s AI progress or be detained and used as bargaining chips in U.S.-China negotiations.

Chinese President Xi Jinping urged his highest-ranking officials to ā€œimprove Chinaā€™s overall cybersecurity related to AI developments.ā€ Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang recently explained why ā€œAmerica must win the AI War.ā€
