A small Chinese AI lab named DeepSeek has shocked the tech world by unveiling AI models that are fifty times more efficient than American offerings.

DeepSeek's Breakthrough and Impact

DeepSeek unveils AI models that far surpass similar American developments, causing a crisis among giants like OpenAI, Google, and Meta. The open-source nature of their innovations has sparked extensive discussions and critiques on X.

Liang Wenfeng’s Plan

Liang Wenfeng, a hedge fund manager behind this revolution, purchased Nvidia GPUs in 2021 and began his experiments. What started as a side project has now evolved into DeepSeek, which has revealed R1—a self-learning system requiring no human oversight.

When he told us he wanted to build a 10,000-chip cluster, we thought he was crazy. He didn’t even explain why, just said, 'This will change everything.'Unnamed Business Partner

Silicon Valley's Reaction

American companies were caught off guard and are now scrambling to catch up. OpenAI, Google, Meta, and others are pouring billions into updating their infrastructure. However, secrecy might be their main issue, as DeepSeek has made its developments open source.

The Chinese startup DeepSeek, with its new AI models, has disrupted the power dynamics in the market. American companies now have to adjust to these new realities and face the challenge of an open-source development community.
