DeepSeek R1, an open source artificial general intelligence (AI) chatbot built on a low-cost LLM infrastructure, by a one-year old start-up, is wiping off market caps of various IT/AI companies. Low development cost without any performance compromise. In fact, superior performance. More affordable. Subscription is 0.5 USD a month as against 20 USD a month for ChatGPT, for example. Most downloaded app within a month of its launch. ChatGPT says: Developed at a fraction of the cost of ChatGPT, DeepSeek’s model has shown impressive performance in reasoning and logic, even surpassing ChatGPT in some areas. However, it faces limitations, including censorship, a lack of advanced features, and a pro-China bias. Copilot says: DeepSeek might be preferable if detailed reasoning or technical support is required. Google Gemini says: DeepSeek is a significant player in the AI landscape. India is going to host DeepSeek on Indian servers, to ensure data security and data privacy.

Two stampedes in six hours at Maha Kumbh. 30 people lost their lives. Massive crowds. Breaking through the barricades and pushing forward. Sleeping people. Blocked roads. No space to walk. Lost laptops, phones. Stolen cash. Accident, or deliberate stampedes? 6 hours to clear the site. Hope these will not recur. We have a month to go, till Sivaratri, for this Maha Kumbh. Plain clothes policing has to increase; volunteers of peace, safety and security have to be vigilant. Crowds to be more disciplined. Are we reaching 500 million people in this Maha Kumbh? Kumbh is a place where a drop(s) of amrt fallen. And the drop remains there and spreads locally. It does not seem to flow off in the river(s). So, all of us seem to take a dip there in the spot/location. Incidentally, it is different in a pushkar of a river. The holy dip can be anywhere in the river. The pushkar purush is spread all over, all along the river. For those 12-days of pushkar period of the river. Probably 12 rivers, one every year. The cycle repeats every 12 years. The pushkar rivers include; Ganga, Yamuna, Narmada, Saraswati, Godavari, Krishna, Kaveri, Bhima, Brahmaputra, Tungabhadra, Sindhu, Pranahita. This year, it is Saraswati’s Pushkar, during May 15-26.
