DeepSeek AI threatens overnight stock market Futures and Nvidia

DeepSeek AI from China threatens overnight stock market Futures and Nvidia after release of version R1 last week. DeepSeek is an AI project funded by a Chinese Hedge Fund named High Flyer. DeepSeek became prominent in the news last week due to the release of their new AI model, DeepSeek-R1. This model, developed by the Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, has garnered significant attention for several reasons:
1) Performance Comparison: DeepSeek-R1 has been reported to perform reasoning tasks at the same level as OpenAI's o1 model, which is a significant achievement considering DeepSeek's relatively smaller budget and resource constraints compared to its American counterparts. This has led to discussions about the efficiency and potential of AI development outside of the traditional tech giants.
2) Cost Efficiency: The cost of developing DeepSeek-R1 was notably lower than what has been spent on similar models by major U.S. companies. Reports indicate that DeepSeek managed to create a competitive AI model with a budget of around $6 million, contrasting sharply with the hundreds of millions or even billions spent by companies like OpenAI, Meta, and Google. This cost-efficiency has sparked conversations about the future of AI development and scaling.
3) Open-Source Access: DeepSeek has made its model open-source, allowing for wider academic and commercial use under an MIT license. This move has been seen as a strategic one to encourage broader adoption and further development in the AI community, challenging the more proprietary models of some U.S. companies.
4) Impact on Industry Leaders: The announcement and performance benchmarks of DeepSeek-R1 have put pressure on U.S. tech giants, leading to discussions and responses from key figures in the tech industry. Leaders from companies like Meta and OpenAI have publicly commented on or reacted to this development, indicating a shift in the global AI landscape.
5) Geopolitical and Economic Implications: The success of DeepSeek amidst U.S. export controls on advanced computing hardware to China has been highlighted as a testament to innovation under constraints. This has broader implications for the ongoing tech rivalry between the U.S. and China, with some viewing DeepSeek's achievements as a potential challenge to American tech dominance in AI. #TonyDenaro #DeepSeek #Nvidia
