No datacenter needed now, just run it on your computer. Anything with 12gb+ of vram can run it comfortably at low quants. If they can come out with a good MOE model it will crush the competition. At this current rate of progress, China will out-compete foreign AI development within a year or two.
One of the nice things about Deepseek being open-source is that it significantly mitigates the training costs involved as well as use costs (since it's so efficient). If you only one need to train one model that the whole world can then use, that's a lot better environmentally than multiple companies all making their own proprietary models.
