The thread discusses DeepSeek's strategy for cost management and the direction of its next-generation models.
- Cost & Algorithmic Optimization: DeepSeek believes that through further algorithmic methods, training costs can still be reduced. The lower the cost, the larger the model they can afford to train.
- Next-Gen Objectives: DeepSeek's next-generation models must feature continual learning. This objective is reportedly reflected in the rumored V4 paper and aligns with their recent hiring focus.
- Current Iteration Strategy: Before achieving continual learning, the team will continue iterating primarily on maximizing bang-for-the-buck.
