It started with deepseek v3, which rendered the Llama 4 already behind in benchmarks. Adding insult to injury was the “unknown Chinese company with 5..5 million training budget”
Engineers are moving frantically to dissect deepsek and copy anything and everything we can from it. I’m not even exaggerating
Management is worried about justifying the massive cost of gen ai org. How would they face the leadership when every single “leader” of gen ai org is making more than what it cost to trained deepseek v3 entirely, and we have dozens of such “leaders”
Deepseek r1 made things even scarier. I can’t reveal confidential info but it’ll be soon public anyways
It should have been an engineering focused small org but since a bunch of people wanted to join the impact grab and artificially inflate hiring in the org, everyone loses
