DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup founded in 2023, is rapidly gaining traction as a competitor to established models like ChatGPT and Claude. They have quickly risen to prominence and are now competing against much larger parameter models with much smaller compute requirements. As of January 2025, DeepSeek boasts 33.7 million monthly active users and 22.15 million daily active users globally, showcasing its rapid adoption and impact.

Qwen has recently introduced QwQ-32B, a 32-billion-parameter reasoning model, designed to improve performance on complex problem-solving tasks through reinforcement learning and demonstrates robust performance in tasks requiring deep analytical thinking. The QwQ-32B leverages Reinforcement Learning (RL) techniques through a reward-based, multi-stage training process to improve its reasoning capabilities, and can match a 671B parameter model. QwQ-32B demonstrates that Reinforcement Learning (RL) scaling can dramatically enhance model intelligence without requiring massive parameter counts.
