DeepSeek’s Breakthrough Advances in AI – Andreas Hassellof, CEO of Ombori
“The advancements from DeepSeek are transformative for consumers and the AI industry alike. By drastically reducing the cost of deploying advanced AI capabilities,these models will accelerate the adoption of AI in real-world applications, from smart cities, retail to healthcare and beyond. This efficiency is particularly crucial in the current landscape, where recent updates to U.S. export controls on certain AI hardware have created tiers of access for different countries. The UAE, classified as a Tier 2 country, faces limitations in accessing critical hardware resources.
However, with technologies like DeepSeek, fewer GPUs (Graphics Processing Unit) are required to achieve the same, or even better, results—making the need for advanced hardware less pressing. This can open up to a much broader range of countries, encouraging collaboration across borders and creating a more globally interconnected AI ecosystem.The fact that DeepSeek is open source will further amplify its impact, enabling developers worldwide to build on this foundation and drive innovation at an unprecedented pace
While the Wall Street reaction has been exaggerated, history tells us that reductions in cost and increased efficiency often lead to greater demand over time—what economists call Jevons paradox. This is a pivotal moment for AI that will unlock new opportunities, foster global collaboration, and ultimately improve the everyday lives of people around the world.”
