Sundar Pichai says DeepSeek is doing ‘very good work’, explains why Gemini has the edge

Google parent Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai has finally broken his silence on Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, which has been all over the news in recent weeks. Pichai called the DeepSeek team as ‘tremendous’ and went on to state that the company has done ‘very, very good work’ but contended that Google’s AI models are also comparable to the Chinese rival in terms of cost efficiency.

The Google CEO also stated that the cost of using AI frontier models will keep going down which will help the company drive ‘extraordinary use cases’.
