AI, Bitcoin, Cryptocurrencies – the New Battlegrounds Between America and China.
The battle promises to be merciless, with every dirty trick in the book.
To say that the release of DeepSeek's latest LLM has had the effect of a hurricane in the American AI world would be an understatement. Look at Nvidia's market cap drop since DeepSeek launched its latest version.
DeepSeek quickly reached the top of the AppStore in America.
What's more, DeepSeek's models are open source and were built in two months for less than $10 million. All this with a team of fewer than 200 people. In contrast, OpenAI has over 4,500 employees and is constantly raising funds to continue its growth. The same is true of all the other players in the world of generative AI.
DeepSeek built something nearly as advanced as OpenAI, with 22 TIMES fewer employees.
Some are even talking about a Sputnik moment for the AI world, with the start of a frantic race between America and China in the field. If DeepSeek could be built so “easily”, why did Donald Trump have to announce his Stargate plan to invest $500 billion over the next 4 years?
