China's DeepSeek quietly releases an open-source rival to GPT-5—optimized for Chinese chips and priced to undercut OpenAI

Chinese AI startup DeepSeek shocked the world in January with an AI model, called R1, that rivaled OpenAI's and Anthropic's top LLMs. It was built at a fraction of the cost of those other models, using far fewer Nvidia chips, and was released for free. Now, just two weeks after OpenAI debuted its latest model, GPT-5, DeepSeek is back with an update to its flagship V3 model that experts say matches GPT-5 on some benchmarks—and is strategically priced to undercut it. DeepSeek's new V3.1 model was quietly released in a message to one of its groups on WeChat, China's all-in-one messaging and social app, as well as on the Hugging Face platform. Its debut touches several of today's biggest AI narratives at once. DeepSeek is a core part of China's broader push to develop, deploy, and control advanced AI systems without relying on foreign technology. (And in fact, DeepSeek's new V3 model is specifically tuned to perform well on Chinese-made chips.)While U.S. companies have been hesitant to embrace DeepSeek's models, they've been widely adopted in China and increasingly in other parts of the world. Even some American firms have built applications on DeepSeek's R1 reasoning model. At the same time, researchers warn that the models' outputs often hew closely to Chinese Communist Party–approved narratives—raising questions about their neutrality and trustworthiness. China's AI push goes beyond DeepSeek: Its industry also includes models including Alibaba's Qwen, Moonshot AI's Kimi, and Baidu's Ernie. DeepSeek's new release, however, coming just after OpenAI's GPT-5—a rollout that fell short of industry watchers' high expectations—underscores Beijing's determination to keep pace with, or even leapfrog, top U.S. labs. OpenAI is concerned about China and DeepSeek DeepSeek's efforts are certainly keeping U.S. labs on their toes. In a recent dinner with reporters, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that rising competition from Chinese open-source models, including DeepSeek, influenced his company's decision to release its own open-weight models two weeks ago. 'It was clear that if we didn't do it, the world was gonna be mostly built on Chinese open-source models,' Altman said. 'That was a factor in our decision, for sure. Wasn't the only one, but that loomed large.' In addition, last week the U.S. granted Nvidia and AMD licenses to export China-specific AI chips—including Nvidia's H20—but only if they agree to hand over 15% of revenue from those sales to Washington. Beijing quickly pushed back, moving to restrict purchases of Nvidia chips after Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told CNBC on July 15: 'We don't sell them our best stuff, not our second-best stuff, not even our third-best.' By optimizing DeepSeek for Chinese-made chips, the company is signaling resilience against U.S. export controls and a drive to reduce reliance on Nvidia. In DeepSeek's WeChat post, it noted that the new model format is optimized for 'soon-to-be-released next-generation domestic chips.' Altman, at that same dinner, warned that the U.S. may be underestimating the complexity and seriousness of China's progress in AI—and said export controls alone likely aren't a reliable solution. 'I'm worried about China,' he said. Less of a leap, but still striking incremental advances Technically, what makes the new DeepSeek model notable is how it was built, with a few advances that would be invisible to consumers. But for developers, these innovations make V3.1 cheaper to run and more versatile than many closed and more expensive rival models. For instance, V3.1 is huge—685 billion parameters, which is on the level of many top 'frontier' models. But its 'mixture-of-experts' design means only a fraction of the model activates when answering any query, keeping computing costs lower for developers. And unlike earlier DeepSeek models that split tasks that could be answered instantly based on the model's pretraining from those that required step-by-step reasoning, V3.1 combines both fast answers and reasoning in one as well as the most recent models from Anthropic and Google, have a similar ability. But few open-weight models have been able to do this so far. V3.1's hybrid architecture is 'the biggest feature by far,' Ben Dickson, a tech analyst and founder of the TechTalks blog, told Fortune. Others point out that while this DeepSeek model is less of a leap than the company's R1 model—which was a reasoning model distilled down from the original V3 that shocked the world in January, the new V3.1 is still striking. 'It is pretty impressive that they continue making non-marginal improvements,' said William Falcon, founder and CEO of AI developer platform Lightning AI. But he added that he would expect OpenAI to respond if its own open-source model 'starts to meaningfully lag,' and pointed out that the DeepSeek model is harder for developers to get into production, while OpenAI's version is fairly easy to deploy. For all the technical details, though, DeepSeek's latest release highlights the fact that AI is increasingly seen as part of a simmering technological cold war between the U.S. and China. With that in mind, if Chinese companies can build better AI models for what they claim is a fraction of the cost, U.S. competitors have reason to worry about staying ahead.

Russia Dangles Discounts to Keep Indian Oil Trade Alive

Russia and India are looking for ways to continue trading oil, and Russia has offered what it calls a special mechanism to the India side to ensure this—despite U.S. President Trump's threat to impose an additional tariff of 25% on Indian exports if the country keeps buying Russian oil. The news about a special mechanism broke earlier this week, with Reuters citing Russian diplomats from the embassy in New Delhi as talking about it but without providing any details. 'I want to highlight that despite the political situation, we can predict that the same level of oil import [by India],' Reuters quoted Roman Babushkin, the Russian charge d'affaires at the New Delhi embassy, as saying. Indian refiners earlier this month began shunning Russian crude on the spot market, after President Trump said India had to stop buying crude oil from Russia. India did not respond well to the threat, with the government essentially saying it would keep doing what was best for India, regardless of the U.S. agenda, even as refiners began contracting U.S. and Middle Eastern oil cargoes. However, the shunning of Russian oil was short-lived, and Indian oil importers soon resumed purchases, taking advantage of a deeper discount for Russia's flagship Urals blend, since Chinese refiners have been unable to absorb all additional volumes freed by their Indian counterparts' temporary turn away from Urals on the spot mechanism that Russia is now offering India perhaps includes an additional discount, to stimulate demand, the Reuters report suggested, as it cited Russian Trade Deputy Commissioner Evgeny Griva as saying that India's imports of Russian oil were a good bargain for the buyers, with discounts at between 5% and 7%. Meanwhile, Trump's trade adviser Peter Navarro earlier this week lashed out at India for buying Russian oil, calling the trade 'opportunistic and deeply corrosive of the world's efforts to isolate Putin's war economy' in an op-ed for the Financial Times. India has become the second-biggest buyer of Russian crude since 2022, and Russia has gone from a minor oil supplier to the subcontinent into its top supplier, thanks to those discounts. With India's dependence on imported oil still over 85% of demand, every discount matters, and refiners have saved quite a lot of money with Russian purchases. If Indian buyers stop importing Russian oil, the country's total import bill could swell by $9 billion this fiscal year, the State Bank of India calculated recently, and this will further increase by $11 billion over the next fiscal year. Interestingly, one energy analyst recalled that it was the U.S. administration that encouraged Indian oil buyers to switch to Russian crude in the first place, to avoid a global price shock after sanctions kicked in back in 2022. 'Joe Biden went to India after the invasion of Ukraine and begged them to take Russian oil, the Indians hardly imported any Russian oil, and they begged India, 'please take the oil,' so that crude prices would remain low, and they did. Now we're flipping around and saying, 'why are you taking all this oil,'' the president of Rapidan Energy Group, Bob McNally, told CNBC recently in what was a timely reminder of the literal global nature of oil markets and prices. President Trump also has zero interest in a price shock, which would be the most likely result of a sudden halt in Indian purchases of Russian crude, with some 1.7 million bpd in trade disrupted. It seems, however, that it may not come to that, after all, if Russia and India find a way to continue trading without fear of punishment from the U.S. with that new mechanism.
