The Vision Hack: How a Picture Solved AI's Biggest Memory Problem


Listen Later

The biggest bottleneck for AIs handling massive documents—the context window—just got a radical fix. DeepSeek AI's DeepSeek-GOCR uses a counterintuitive trick: it turns text into an image to compress it by up to 10 times without losing accuracy. That means your AI can suddenly read the equivalent of 20 million tokens (entire codebases or legal troves) efficiently! This episode dives into the elegant vision-based solution, the power of its Mixture of Experts architecture, and why some experts believe all AI input should become an image.

Original Research: DeepSeek-GOCR is a breakthrough by the DeepSeek AI team.
