US President Donald Trump called the “Morning Call” the rise of DEEPSEEK, a Chinese company of the US technology industry, after causing shockwaves in Wall Street after the appearance of the artificial intelligence (AI) model.
Stocks from major technology companies such as NVIDIA have dropped sharply, and Chip Giant has lost nearly $ 60 billion (£ 48 billion).
What is shaken in the industry is DeepSeek’s argument that the R1 model was part of rival costs. We question the future of US AI domination and the amount of investment planned by US companies.
DeepSeek has become the most downloaded free app in the United States in a week after its launch.
Trump responded to the news that the latest development of China’s AI industry could be “positive” to the United States.
“If you can do it cheaper, if you can do it, I think it’s a good thing for us if you can achieve less final results.”
He also did not worry about the groundbreaking and said that adding the United States would remain a dominant player in the field.
Deepseek is driven by open source DeepSeek -V3 models, and researchers are much less than $ 6 million (4.2 million pounds) than billions spent by competitors. But this claim was challenged by others in AI.
The emergence occurs as the US limits the sale of high -end chip technology that presupposes AI in China.
In order to continue working without the steady supply of imported high -end chips, Chinese AI developers shared each other and experimented with a new approach to technology.
This requires a much less computing power than before.
It also costs much less than I thought before, which is likely to improve the industry.
On Tuesday, the stocks of Japanese AI companies, including Advantest, Softbank and Tokyo Electron, have dropped sharply and reduced the benchmark Nikkei 225 by about 1%.
For the new year of lunar New Year, several other markets in Asia are closed.
The financial market in the mainland of China will close from Tuesday and will open again on February 5th.
The securities exchange in Taiwan and Korea has a major chip manufacturer.
After the release of Deepseek-R1 earlier this month, the company boasted “performance” with one of Openai’s latest models when used for tasks such as mathematics, coding and natural language reasoning.
DeepSeek’s technology added that Openai will “a better model.” from now on.
Marina Zhang, an associate professor of the University of Technology Sydney, who focuses on China’s high -tech industries, said, Software Despite the originality and data efficiency of the data, it shows that it can compensate for hardware constraints.
ION Stoica, co -founder and executive of AI software company DataBricks, said that more expensive companies could accelerate the BBC to adopt AI to business.
“If this happens, these reductions can accelerate the progress of AI,” he said. “Overall, the market will expand faster and the value of the market will increase faster.”
Chinese companies argue that their models can be trained in 2,000 special chips compared to about 16,000 of the main models.
But not everyone is convinced. Some questioned DeepSeek’s claims, including the Technology Huge ELON Musk.
He actually has about 50,000 NVIDIA chips and claims that exports to China are forbidden.
Who established DeepSeek?
The company was founded in 2023 by Liang Wenfeng in a city of Hangzhou, a city southeastern in China.
A 40 -year -old boy, a graduate of information and electronics, also established a hedge fund that supports DeepSeek.
He was recently witnessed at a meeting between industry experts and Chinese Premier Ricquians.
In an interview in July 2024 China AcademyLiang said he was surprised at the reaction to his previous version of his AI model.
“We didn’t expect the price to be such a sensitive problem,” he said.
“We simply followed our own speed, calculated the cost, and set the price accordingly.”
