The headline is dumb, but the research isn't. According to the actual contents of the article, that $30 is still 27 times cheaper than what it costs OpenAI to make a similar sized model which also performs worse. That's still a big deal even if the people reporting on it made a stupid title for their article about it.
I feel like the author here doesnt know what the definition of "breakthrough" is.

To reference a previous sidenote, DeepSeek gives corps and randos a means to shove an LLM into their shit for dirt-cheap, so I expect they're gonna blow up in popularity.
open source behaving like open source? couldn't be the evil scary chinese!
open weights is not open source. If it were, then nobody would have to work on trying to reproduce it. They could just run the build script.
unfortunately, nobody cares cos they're all thieves
OSI is gonna mandate that we call it open source now, didn't ya hear?
