Japanese tech analyst Lee Mu-yueh says Chinese startup DeepSeek is outpacing other companies in the artificial intelligence sphere. DeepSeek sparked panic on Wall Street with the release of its powerful new chatbot developed at a fraction of the cost of its competitors. The model is also open-source, meaning researchers, developers and other users can access the underlying code. Lee adds that it is not about competition between the United States and China, but rather "the battle between open-source and closed-source." SOUNDBITES
