🤖 Why the Market Panic? Has the Chinese Startup DeepSeek Made Everyone Nervous?

The company leveraged idle GPUs to train an AI model. The result: $10M spent, a powerful open-source model created, significantly cheaper than OpenAI (DeepSeek: $2.19 per 1M tokens, OpenAI: $60 per 1M tokens). Moreover, DeepSeek runs autonomously on smartphones (iPhone 16/Android), proving that GPUs might no longer be essential.

Why does it matter?
🔴 A threat to NVIDIA’s business and venture investments in AI startups.
🔴 Tech giants (MAG7) risk losing investor trust if AI investments fail to show clear returns.

This raises questions about the future of the industry and the potential bubble surrounding artificial intelligence.
