A new Artificial concept from Chinese firm DeepSeek shook the stock market on Monday. It seemed to be only as effective as many of its American rivals, but its producers claimed to have made it far more expensively, using far less computing power than equivalent Artificial apps like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. In a single moment, hundreds of billions of dollars were wiped from AI-related company valuations.
Investors immediately changed their minds this year regarding the future of AI and the types of businesses that will or won’t benefit from it. Did we really need all those high-end system chips, after all? What about power plants that can power all the energy-hungry AI files locations?
On today’s present, how DeepSeek may have forever altered the economy of artificial intelligence.
