🌯 AI, Domains & Chipotle: The Plot Thickens

What happens when a software engineer buys a domain for less than a Chipotle meal 🌯 and redirects it to a Chinese AI lab? Well, the AI community loses its mind! 🤯

Meet Ananay Arora, the genius (or prankster?) behind this move. He snagged OGOpenAI.com, a domain that screams “We were here first!” and redirected it to DeepSeek, a Chinese AI lab that’s been crushing it in the open-source AI game. 💻🇨🇳


🕵️‍♂️ Why Did He Do It?

Arora says he was inspired by a (now deleted 👀) tweet from Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas, comparing DeepSeek to OpenAI’s good ol’ days when open-source AI actually meant… open.

He thought:
“Wouldn’t it be fun to send people looking for the ‘OG’ OpenAI to DeepSeek?”

And just like that, the domain was his! 🥷


🤖 DeepSeek: The Real OG of Open AI?

DeepSeek recently released DeepSeek-R1, an AI model that’s reportedly outperforming OpenAI’s o1 in some benchmarks. 👀

Unlike OpenAI’s modern-day fortress 🏰, DeepSeek is offering free-to-use models, that developers can run offline – just like OpenAI’s older models such as Point-E and Jukebox.

Meanwhile, OpenAI’s recent secrecy has ruffled feathers, even leading to Elon Musk suing them (because, of course). 🚀📜


🔥 The Great AI Rivalry: China vs The West

DeepSeek isn’t alone in the open AI space – they’ve joined the ranks of Alibaba’s Qwen, serving up open-source AI goodness, while the U.S. is busy restricting AI chips exports to China. 💻🚫

But despite the restrictions, labs like DeepSeek are pushing forward and catching everyone’s attention – and apparently… domains too. 🌍

🏁 Final Thoughts

In the world of AI, it seems like whoever buys the coolest domain wins the game. 🏆

  • What’s next? Someone buying “OpenSourceOpenAI.com” and pointing it to their blog? 🤣
  • Until then, grab your popcorn 🍿 and keep an eye on DeepSeek.
