Sounds a lot like standing on the backs of giants to me. Why would this blow minds that with newer compute and full hindsight, someone could reproduce something more efficiently?

I feel like I’m missing the point and Google didn’t illuminate any deep article that represented this achievement in novel terms.

So OpenAI doesn’t need to burn through a trillion dollars in the next 10 years after all?

I think that if investors see this, that you only need few millions to be almost number one, they will not give them billions so easily. Deepseek changing the narrative of spending money in AI tech.
