Chapters
DeepSeek, a Chinese startup, released a free AI chatbot, R1, challenging established AI giants. Its cost-effectiveness and open-source nature caused a significant drop in US tech stock values, highlighting a contrast with the expensive Project Stargate initiative.
  • DeepSeek's R1 chatbot is as powerful as OpenAI's latest model but developed at a fraction of the cost.
  • R1's release wiped $1 trillion off the value of US tech stocks.
  • DeepSeek was founded in 2023 and released its reasoning model V3 before R1.
  • DeepSeek's open-source approach levels the playing field for smaller companies.
  • Project Stargate, a $500 billion AI infrastructure project, is contrasted with DeepSeek's approach.
