Whether the facts are out on Deep Seek remains to be seen. UI doesn't inherently require massive processing ability. But we do know that a particular quantity of computation is required to provide response to a given level.

I don't really understand the argument. If China has come up with new mathematics that allows one to create NNs that require dramatically less computation, that is a breakthrough. NVidia has, at times, found approaches that vastly reduce the compute needed to deal with large matrices and tensor cores that don't fundamentally change the math but allow it to be scaled effectively. I'm sure you're familiar with these and other techniques.

Short of that, it takes a certain amount of math processing to solve huge problems. Any computation yielding comparable precision is going to require a given amount of processing, unless some new technique is found which can "shortcut" the process. It could well be some brilliant person in China came up with another of the shortcuts that yields a vast reduction in the compute required.

If that has happened, the open source code, I'm confident, is being analyzed to determine the methodology and its legitimacy.

Until then, it takes a certain quantity of compute to get the same precision in outcomes.
