Coincidence? No – it’s just the work of a master!
Hey folks!
You’ve probably already heard about DeepSeek – the Chinese AI model that recently caused such a stir and managed to wipe more than a trillion dollars off the share prices of certain tech giants in just a few hours.
But have you seen its logo? Does it remind you of anything? It sure did us!…
I don’t know if it was done on purpose, but it’s turned out pretty funny! There are some slight differences – but not many!
I didn’t know what to think at first, but settled for flattery ). Our colleagues say that in Chinese culture such a thing is a mark of acknowledgment and respect. Back in the day, imitating a master was considered a sign of deep admiration. Cool, right? Oh – and another take: some entrepreneurs I know believe that copying the very best is basically a necessary step for business growth. Well, well; all very curiously interesting – to say the least!
Let’s see how things unfold with DeepSeek. China has tons of neural networks created by companies with insane budgets – but for some reason it was this particular model that managed to break into the global market (with the biggest of splashes). Well, good luck to them!…
PS: We still asked them to tweak their logo a bit to make it fully compliant with our brand guidelines :)…
