The Rise of Open-Source AI: A Turning Point for Innovation

The AI industry has been shaken by the latest developments in open-source artificial intelligence. DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, has disrupted the landscape by unveiling an AI model that rivals top-tier competitors like OpenAI and Anthropic—at a fraction of the cost and with significantly fewer Nvidia chips. What’s more, they are making it freely available, accelerating the shift towards open AI models.

This move challenges the dominance of closed AI models, raising questions about the future of proprietary AI and the sustainability of expensive, centralised AI development. But for businesses, developers, and platforms like Unyted, this signals an era of opportunity.
