DeepSeek’s R1 and OpenAI’s Deep Research just redefined AI — RAG, distillation, and custom models will never be the same

DeepSeek’s R1 model release and OpenAI’s new Deep Research product will push companies to use techniques like distillation, supervised fine-tuning (SFT), reinforcement learning (RL), and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to build smarter, more specialized AI applications. From pricing and performance to hallucination risks and the importance of clean data, here’s what these breakthroughs mean for anyone building AI today.Read More
