[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Couple of items on Deepseek and GenAI

[Robert Primak]

 No disrespect intended, but where in that lengthy article did they actually explain just what Deepseek is doing which is different from other LLMs? 
Well no worries, there are other, less technical but more to the point articles about just what's so disruptive about Deepseek.
DeepSeek explained: Everything you need to know

This article is much more at my level, both in terms of technical understanding and in terms of attention span. I'm sure it doesn't cover as much material as the longer article, but I find it much easier to follow.

 Thought these might be of interest to the group.
First link is to an On The Media (NPR) interview with Ed Zitron giving some perspective on Deepseek….he’s quite scathing about the Silicon Valley approach to GenAI

If you prefer reading to listening, the second link is to a blog post by a former colleague of mine doing a deeper dive into Deepseek as a company
