US tech giants are bracing themselves for a potential AI-powered storm, with DeepSeek's latest breakthrough sending shockwaves through the market. The Chinese startup claims to have trained an AI model that rivals top US-born technology at a fraction of the cost, sparking fears of competition and disruption.
The latest casualty is Nvidia, whose stock price plummeted as investors feared the worst in the wake of DeepSeek's announcement. Broadcom is also feeling the pinch, with its shares taking a hit amidst speculation about the impact of this new player on the market.
But while some are panicking, others see DeepSeek's breakthrough as a welcome development. With AI costs set to balloon exponentially in the coming years, companies like Nvidia and OpenAI are being forced to break the bank just to keep up with the latest models. Meanwhile, DeepSeek is shaking its head at the expense of these giant tech firms.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, admitted that his company spent over $100 million on GPT-4 training costs last year - a figure that DeepSeek seems to be mocking with its own $5.6 million expenditure. For Antropic CEO Dario Amodei, the cost of training models is approaching $1 billion.
Whether this marks the beginning of an AI revolution or just another bubble waiting to burst remains to be seen.

I'm low-key freaking out about DeepSeek's latest announcement 
! The whole tech world is talking about it and Nvidia's stock price taking a huge hit 
is crazy. But, on the flip side, I think this could be super good news for regular people 
. Like, we're already seeing these massive AI costs piling up and it's basically just wealthy companies like Nvidia and OpenAI breaking the bank 
. Meanwhile, DeepSeek is over here being like "Hey, we can do this cheaper" 
! $5.6 million is insane compared to those $100+ million costs 
...
they're always so drama-prone 
DeepSeek's breakthru might actually be a good thing for consumers though - think cheaper AI models that can still deliver on quality 
I mean, who doesn't love a good underdog story? And $5.6 million vs $100 mil, that's some serious cost savings right there 
. Either way, it's gonna be interesting to see what happens next...
what's next they'll be crying about their 8k graphics cards 
we need more companies like DeepSeek who are pushing the boundaries and making it affordable for everyone 
.
! Training an AI model that's on par with top US tech at a fraction of the cost is a game-changer 
. I mean, Nvidia and Broadcom are already feeling the heat, but some people see this as a good thing - like, companies can finally start thinking about scalability without breaking the bank 
anyway, think this might be a game changer for innovation and competition, not sure if it's gonna disrupt markets tho... but i do know 1 thing - we're living in exciting times 
Maybe it's a bit of both?
