Trump says that Deepsek for US Tech firms is a ‘wake-up call’

After the emergence of his Artificial Intelligence (AI) model, US President Donald Trump has called the rise of the Chinese company Deepsek “a wake-up call” for the US tech industry as “a wake-up call”.

Shares fell rapidly in major tech firms such as Nvidia, with the chip giant lost more than $ 500BN (£ 400BN) in the market price.

The industry has shook, Deepsek claims that its R1 model was built on an excerpt from the cost of its rivals – questioning the future of AI dominance of America and placing investment scale US firms. .

A week after the launch of Deepsac, the most downloaded free app in America has become the free app.

Responding to the news on Monday, Trump said that the latest development in China’s AI industry could be “positive” for the US.

“If you can make it cheaper, you can get the same end result if you can (and) do it (and). I think it’s a good thing for us,” He Board Air Force One Told on reporters.

He also said that he was not worried about success, connecting America will remain a prominent player in the region.

On Tuesday, firms related to Japanese AI, including adventast, softbank, and Tokyo Electron, fell rapidly, helping the benchmark Nikkei 225 down to about 1%.

Many other markets in Asia are closed for the lunar New Year holiday.

The financial markets of the mainland China will be closed from today and will reopen on 5 February.

Stock exchange Taiwan and South Korea are also closed today among the major chip producing countries.

The Deepsek Open Source is powered by the Dipsek -V3 model, which its researchers were trained for approximately $ 6m (£ 4.2m) – much less than the billions spent by rivals. But this claim has been disputed by others in AI.

Its emergence comes when the US is restricting the sale of advanced chip technology that gives China strength to AI.

To continue their work without a stable supply of imported advanced chips, Chinese AI developers have shared their work with each other and experimented with new approaches for technology.

This resulted in less computing power than before the AI ​​model.

This also means that they already spend much less than thought, which has the ability to increase the industry.

“Despite a limited access to advanced hardware, an associate professor at the University of Technology Sydney,” Says the ability of the US model to rival the US model that the software may compensate for simplicity and data efficiency hardware deficiency. ” Told BBC

After launching the Deepsek-R1 earlier this month, the company performed on performance with one of the latest models of OpenAII, when used for tasks such as mathematics, coding and natural language arguments.

Dipsec’s technology has been praised by high profile data including OpenIAI chief Sam Altman, who called it “an impressive model, especially they are able to distribute to the price”, although he said that OpenIE “clear The much better model “moves” moves “moves” forward.

The Chinese company claims that its model can be trained at 2,000 special chips compared to an estimated 16,000 for major models.

But not everyone is confident. Some have suspected some of Dipsek’s claims, including Tech Mogul Elon Musk.

He replied to a post, claiming that Deepsek actually had around 50,000 Nvidia chips, which has now been banned from experts in China, saying: “Apparently.”

The company was founded in 2023 by Liang Wenfeng in Hangzo, a city in South -East China.

The 40 -year -old, an information and an electronic engineering bachelor, also established the hedge funds, which supported the Deepsek.

He was recently seen in a meeting between industry experts and Chinese premiere Lee Kiang.

In a July 2024 interview China AcademyMr. Liang said that he was surprised by the reaction of the previous version of his AI model.

“We didn’t expect pricing would be such a sensitive issue,” he said.

“We were just following our speed, calculating the costs, and determining prices accordingly.”
