Chinese AI startup DeepSeek unveils open-source model to rival OpenAI o1 – Computerworld

In real-world enterprise applications, DeepSeek-R1’s performance on key metrics translates to improved capabilities in mathematical reasoning, problem-solving, and coding tasks.

“Although this suggests that DeepSeek-R1 could potentially outperform OpenAI’s o1 in practical scenarios requiring these specific competencies, the eventual outcome still depends on various factors within the broader AI ecosystem, such as the AI readiness of data, RAG and agent support, ModelOps and DevOps toolchain integrations, cloud and data infrastructure support, and AI governance,” said Charlie Dai, VP and principal analyst at Forrester.

Moreover, while R1’s claims of superior performance are appealing, its true effectiveness remains uncertain due to a lack of clarity about the data it has been trained on.
