China's groundbreaking AI model, DeepSeek, has taken the tech world by storm, outperforming prominent AI players like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude AI. The chatbot has catapulted to the top of the Apple app store charts, surpassed ChatGPT, and sent ripples through the US stock market. DeepSeek's remarkable success can be attributed to its talented team of young innovators, who have developed cutting-edge AI technology despite limited resources.
One standout member of this team is Luo Fuli, a brilliant mind hailed as an "AI prodigy" in China. The 29-year-old AI researcher and prodigy has garnered widespread acclaim for her pioneering contributions to natural language processing (NLP).
Luo's journey began at Beijing Normal University, where she initially struggled in computer science but eventually excelled. She then earned a spot at Peking University's Institute of Computational Linguistics, publishing eight papers at the prestigious ACL conference in 2019.
This remarkable achievement caught the attention of tech giants Alibaba and Xiaomi, paving the way for her future collaborations. As a researcher at Alibaba's DAMO Academy, Luo spearheaded the development of the multilingual pre-training model VECO and contributed significantly to the open-source AliceMind project.
She then joined DeepSeek in 2022. Her expertise in natural language processing played a crucial role in developing DeepSeek-V2, which has been hailed for its ability to rival ChatGPT.
Following her stint at DeepSeek, Luo's exceptional skills caught the attention of Xiaomi's founder, Lei Jun, who offered her an annual compensation package of 10 million yuan, as per the South China Morning Post.
