Investors were shocked as Nvidia and other AI stocks plummeted after the emergence of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI chatbot threatening industry leaders like ChatGPT. DeepSeek’s cost-effective model has gained credibility, with Microsoft already adding it to its Azure cloud service, sparking debate over its impact on the AI ecosystem.

DeepSeek, a Chinese AI start-up founded in 2023, has made waves with its open-source large language model, rivaling top models like OpenAI’s o1. While DeepSeek’s efficiency is impressive, accusations of plagiarism and unclear infrastructure costs raise questions about its credibility and impact on Nvidia and the broader AI sector.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding DeepSeek, the race toward artificial general intelligence (AGI) continues, with tech giants like Nvidia adapting to market conditions. The geopolitical implications of DeepSeek could intensify the tech cold war between the U.S. and China, but the ultimate goal remains AGI development, where Nvidia has a strong foothold.
