Li Yanhong on DeepSeek: Innovation in history has always come from cost reduction, and the cost of large models is decreasing by more than 90% per year.

It is learned that ""Looking back at the past few centuries of history, the nature of innovation is cost reduction and productivity improvement."" On February 11th, Baidu founder Li Yanhong talked about DeepSeek in a conversation with the UAE AI minister at the Dubai WGS. He said that it is not only in the AI field or the IT industry, but most innovations are related to cost reduction. If costs are reduced by a certain proportion, productivity will also increase by the same proportion. Today, the pace of innovation is much faster than ever before. According to Moore's Law, every 18 months, performance will double while the price is halved. Nowadays, the inference cost of large models is decreasing by more than 90% per year.
