When DeepSeek dropped its R1 model in January 2025, it quietly detonated a bomb under the AI industry. Built without access to Nvidia’s best GPUs and on a shoestring budget compared to Silicon Valley giants, R1 proved that top-tier AI could come from unexpected places. Investors across the U.S. were caught flat-footed — nearly $600 billion was wiped off the tech markets as the realization set in: price-performance curves could collapse, not just bend. That was just the opening act. Now, DeepSeek is lining up two follow-ups — R2 and V4 — and if even half of the leaks are true, 2025 could be the year AI pricing falls off a cliff. The combination of massive model scale, brutally low prices, and zero […]

Just a few days after its official debut on March 25, 2025, Google has once again redefined the boundaries of artificial intelligence with the launch of Gemini 2.5. Hailed as the company’s most advanced and “intelligent” AI model to date, Gemini 2.5 is not just an incremental upgrade—it represents a radical shift in the way AI reasons, codes, and comprehends complex data. The new model, branded as Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental, has quickly risen to the top of the LMArena leaderboard with a striking Arena Score of 1,443, surpassing xAI’s Grok 3 Preview (1,409) and OpenAI’s GPT-4.5 (1,395). Its high vote count and strong confidence interval underscore widespread agreement that Gemini […]

DeepSeek, the Chinese startup that sent shockwaves through the AI industry with its groundbreaking R1 reasoning model, is accelerating the release of its next-generation AI system, R2.
