DuckDB goes distributed? DeepSeek’s smallpond takes on Big Data
DeepSeek is pushing DuckDB beyond its single-node roots with smallpond, a new, simple approach to distributed compute. But does it solve the scalability challenge—or introduce new trade-offs?

Their R1 model, released in January 2025, outperformed competitors like OpenAI’s O1 at launch. But what truly set it apart was its highly efficient infrastructure—dramatically reducing costs while maintaining top-tier performance. Now, they're coming for data engineer
