White House artificial intelligence and crypto "czar" David Sacks revealed what China’s DeepSeek means for American dominance in AI Tuesday on "The Story."
"I think the Chinese companies are catching up very fast," Sacks said. "We haven’t lost our leadership here. The DeepSeek R1 model is basically comparable in capabilities to the OpenAI 01 model, which came out about four months ago. So they are kind of hot on our heels here, and I think we basically have somewhere between a three and six month lead on them.
