'DeepSeek 2' Coming Soon?

In a report submitted to the “AI Olympics,” the Chinese company claims its training method is superior to what DeepSeek and OpenAI are using.

A Chinese quantitative trading fund has made headlines after submitting a paper to the world’s leading conference on artificial intelligence (AI), in which it presented a new method of training models that it says can outperform current popular techniques.

Shanghai Goku Technologies, founded in 2015, submitted a paper to the Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS), an event known as the “AI Olympics” and a gathering place for the world’s leading researchers in the fields of machine learning and AI.

Goku’s research points to the limitations of two popular AI training methods, supervised training (SFT) and reinforcement learning (RL), which are used by companies like OpenAI and DeepSeek. Instead, the team proposes a new method called SASR, which aims to provide step-by-step adaptive hybrid training inspired by how humans learn and develop their thinking.

“Experimental results demonstrate that SASR outperforms the combined SFT, RL, and static training methods,” the team wrote in the paper.

While Goku did not respond to a request for comment, the announcement of the new research and the launch of its subsidiary AllMind indicate its ambitions to expand into the AI space. According to records from Qcc.com, AllMind was registered on the same day Goku published the research.

Wang Xiao, founder of Goku and legal representative of AllMind, said the new company will focus on exploring the technological frontiers of artificial intelligence models, according to China Securities Journal .

The development reflects an emerging trend in China, where AI companies are starting to build dedicated research units. High-Flyer, DeepSeek’s parent company, followed a similar strategy when it established a subsidiary in 2023. DeepSeek is now one of the most prominent names in China’s AI startup scene.

Goku's entry into the global AI arena with a novel approach to model training continues to show that China is aggressively pushing AI development through algorithmic innovations, despite hardware restrictions from Washington.
