TMTPOST -- Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently discussed the trending Chinese AI model DeepSeek in an interview at the WELT Economic Summit. Musk praised Chinese engineers, noting that China has a large number of intelligent and highly ambitious talents. He emphasized that it was expected for China to produce many great innovations, and DeepSeek is just one of them—a testament to the country's deep talent pool. However, while Musk acknowledged DeepSeek as impressive, he made it clear that it does not represent a revolutionary breakthrough in AI. He further stated that xAI, his own AI company, along with other firms, will soon release models that surpass DeepSeek in performance.
