AI IN BUSINESS

Can DeepSeek Beat NVIDIA, or It’s an Other AI Boom?

For starters: This was NVIDIA 1 month ago, which is by far the biggest fish in the semiconductor Pond. Today they have faced competition, which is called DeepSeek a Chinese AI company that is kicking American tech companies like Nvidia.

This week their model is reportedly outperforming Open AI for a fraction of the cost of $100M to $6M, the bad news for NVIDIA is DeepSeek gives the same output but is using fewer chips the worst news for NVIDIA that they're going ban for ban the title of the fugliest logo possible.

This has Nvidia investors freaking out because what if this means they're not as central to the whole AI ecosystem as everyone originally thought.

At first glance, the situation in the US market suggests that stocks are crashing because we need fewer chips, but is it the truth?

What is reality though? At first, it looks like the more effective and less costly the machines are like DeepSeek, the fewer chips they will be using. Chips manufactured by big companies like Navidia, Arm, etc. were selling chips at high prices like coal in 1800, so fewer people used them.

• But now with DeepSeek even though each AI model needs fewer chips; which causes a massive drop in the cost of stocks.

• More people and companies can now build and run tech with AI.

• In simple words, we’re not just making AI more efficient, we’re making it accessible to everyone.

Because the bigger picture is; that we’re about to see an explosion in AI adoption.
