Something has happened around the world in the last 7 days that will go down in history! Starting from the US market, there have been major changes in the technology sector in China. Let’s find out easily:
US market loses $1 trillion!
The US stock market has lost about $1 trillion in the last 2 days. The main reason behind this loss is an open source AI project from China – DeepSeek AI. This project is so powerful that it has challenged the business model of US technology companies.
The fall of ChatGPT, the rise of DeepSeek AI
ChatGPT is no longer the leading AI tool in the US, UK and China. ChatGPT has dropped to second place due to the effectiveness and efficiency of DeepSeek AI’s new models. In particular, DeepSeek AI’s Janus-Pro model has surpassed ChatGPT’s DALL-E not only in text generation, but also in image generation and visual understanding.
Nvidia’s $593 billion loss
Nvidia has long been at the forefront of AI technology. But open source projects like DeepSeek AI have broken Nvidia’s business model. Nvidia’s share price has fallen by about $593 billion in the last 2 days. This makes it clear that the influence of open source projects in the AI technology market will increase in the future.
DeepSeek AI’s extraordinary success: DeepSeek AI originally started as a side project. But its r1 model is performing on par with ChatGPT’s paid model 3.5, and even better in some cases. Some of its incredible features are:
➡ Runs on Raspberry Pi:
The DeepSeek R1 model can be run on a Raspberry Pi device that costs just $25. It can process 200 tokens per second. This means that in the future, everyone can have a powerful offline AI in their hands.
➡ Janus-Pro model: This model is not only the best in image generation, but also in visual understanding. It outperformed ChatGPT’s DALL-E.
➡ Since DeepSeek AI is completely open source, developers can easily customize it and use it according to their needs. This has made the AI community stronger.
Why did DeepSeek AI compete with ChatGPT?
Impact of US sanctions:
The US sanctions on China, especially the ban on the export of advanced chips, have challenged China’s technology sector. Nvidia and other chip makers were severely restricted from doing business in China. Even apps like TikTok were banned in the US. These sanctions have forced Chinese technology companies to become self-reliant.
Success using old chips:
DeepSeek AI is built entirely on old chips like Nvidia A100 and H800, which are chips outside the US sanctions. This proves that it is possible to create world-class technology even with limited resources.
Free and Open Source Model:
Companies like OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft are initially offering free access to AI technology and later converting it into a paid model. DeepSeek AI has targeted this point and has reached users with a completely free and open source model.
However, many believe that this is a stolen project that was stolen from Chat GPT!
