New York
CNN
—
Silicon Valley is coming to grips this week with the realization that creating an advanced artificial intelligence model may no longer be as specialized a task as was once believed.
The wakeup call came in the form of DeepSeek, a year-old Chinese start-up whose free, open-source AI model, R1, is more or less on par with advanced models from American tech giants — and it was built for a fraction of the cost, apparently with less advanced chips and it demands far less data center power to run.
Until now, the widely accepted wisdom in the US tech world was that American tech giants could stay ahead by spending billions of dollars, amassing advanced chips and building out huge data centers (despite the environmental cost). Essentially, because they’re among the richest companies in the world, they believed they could throw more resources at the problem than anyone else and come out on top.
Now, all of that has been called into question. And tech giants are facing tough questions from Wall Street.
The name of the AI game may no longer be winning with the most expensive, ever-more powerful models.
“The paradigm is shifting,” said Zack Kass, an AI consultant and former OpenAI go-to-market lead.
“It’s so hard to own a scientific breakthrough” such as an AI model advancement, Kass said, and prevent competitors from catching up. Instead, tech companies may now find themselves competing to lower costs and build more helpful applications for consumers and corporate customers — and also to suck up less power and natural resources in the process.
At least one American tech leader has already promised to respond to DeepSeek by speeding up the release of more powerful models.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called DeepSeek’s R1 model “impressive” in an X post Monday, adding that “we will pull up some releases” of new models in response. OpenAI Chief Product Officer Kevin Weil also said the company’s upcoming o3 model, set to launch in the coming weeks, would “be another major step up.”
“It’s a super competitive industry, right? And this is showing that it’s competitive globally, not just within the US,” Weil said on a call with reporters about OpenAI’s new ChatGPT offering for government agencies, in response to a question from CNN. “We’re committed to moving really quickly here. We want to stay ahead.”
But analysts also expect the Big Tech companies to scale back their data center spending plans and potentially rethink how much they’re charging consumers. DeepSeek has proved it’s possible to provide the technology at a lesser cost, although some industry experts have raised eyebrows at the startup’s claims about spending just under $6 million to build its model.
OpenAI’s largest investor, Microsoft, is investigating whether DeepSeek trained its model off of stolen OpenAI data, Bloomberg reported. Even if the company achieved its efficiency revolution with some malfeasance, DeepSeek’s achievements have lit a fire under Silicon Valley’s AI industry.
“All those other frontier model labs — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google — are going to build far more efficient models based on what they’re learning from DeepSeek,” said Gil Luria, head of technology research at investment firm D.A. Davidson. “And you’ll be able to use those at a fraction of the price that you can now, because it’s going to be a fraction of the cost to run those models.”
To be sure, the industry was almost certainly going to eventually shift its focus to “efficiency” — working to add AI capabilities using a set amount of computing power versus adding more servers to juice the technology. There are only so many computers you can build and only so much electricity available to service them. And an AI tool can only get so proficient at, say, writing emails or planning trips, before making it marginally more powerful is no longer worthwhile.
But DeepSeek appears to have sped up that timeline. And in Silicon Valley, unwinding spending on data centers could be tricky.
Just last week, OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank visited the White House to announce the creation of a new company and a $500 million investment in US AI infrastructure; Microsoft CEO Sundar Pichai affirmed he was “good for” his company’s planned $80 billion investment in AI development and infrastructure this year; and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said his company’s AI spending could reach as much as $65 billion this year.
“That crazy AI data center build-out that we’ve been talking about for the last couple of years? They don’t need to do that anymore. They can build a lot less because they can provide a lot more services at a much lower price,” Luria said. He added that investors will likely expect to hear about those plans in the American tech companies’ earnings calls over the next two weeks.
Of course, if the tech giants cut data center costs for training AI models — and therefore charge customers less — their tools will get used more, putting more inference (or people asking questions) strain on the data centers, Bloomberg Intelligence analysts wrote Tuesday. So just how dramatic that pullback on data center spending might be remains to be seen.
Some tech leaders say they’re looking at DeepSeek as validation — rather than a threat.
Proponents of open-source AI — where the model’s underlying architecture is made publicly available, rather than charged for — say the Chinese model is proof that American companies should be sharing their innovations rather than gatekeeping them. That way, the whole US field could advance more quickly and remain the technology standard around the world.
“The United States already has the best closed models in the world. To remain competitive, we must also support the development of a vibrant open-source ecosystem,” former Google CEO Eric Schmidt wrote in a Washington Post op-ed Tuesday.
Meta, which has pushed open-source AI with its Llama model, also said such models are “driving a significant shift in the industry, and that’s going to bring the benefits of AI to everyone faster.”
And even if DeepSeek forces a short-term rethinking of the business model Silicon Valley had envisioned for AI, people who believe the technology will change the world should be glad for the advancement, Kass said.
“We are freaked out fairly, I suppose, because we thought we had global AI supremacy, when, in fact, we should be celebrating,” Kass said. “Because this is one more piece of evidence that the AI revolution is going to democratize technology and it’s going to be fairly distributed.”
DeepSeek, the latest AI technology developed in Silicon Valley, has the potential to mark a turning point for the tech industry. With its advanced capabilities in deep learning and natural language processing, DeepSeek has the power to revolutionize how we interact with technology.One of the key features of DeepSeek is its ability to understand and respond to human language in a more natural and intuitive way. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities for AI applications, from virtual assistants to customer service bots. By enabling more human-like interactions, DeepSeek has the potential to greatly enhance user experience and make technology more accessible to a wider audience.
Furthermore, DeepSeek’s deep learning capabilities allow it to continuously improve and adapt to new information, making it more efficient and accurate over time. This means that as more data is fed into the system, DeepSeek will only get smarter and more effective at its tasks.
With the potential for such groundbreaking advancements, DeepSeek could be the catalyst for a new era of AI innovation in Silicon Valley. By pushing the boundaries of what is possible with artificial intelligence, DeepSeek could inspire other tech companies to invest in similar technologies and drive the industry forward.
Overall, the emergence of DeepSeek signals a significant milestone for Silicon Valley and the tech industry as a whole. By harnessing the power of AI in new and innovative ways, DeepSeek has the potential to reshape the future of technology and usher in a new era of possibilities.

Why DeepSeek Could Change What Silicon Valley Believe About A.I.
The artificial intelligence breakthrough that is sending shock waves through stock markets, spooking Silicon Valley giants, and generating breathless takes about the end of America’s technological dominance arrived with an unassuming, wonky title: “Incentivizing Reasoning Capability in LLMs via Reinforcement Learning.”
The 22-page paper, released last week by a scrappy Chinese A.I. start-up called DeepSeek, didn’t immediately set off alarm bells. It took a few days for researchers to digest the paper’s claims, and the implications of what it described. The company had created a new A.I. model called DeepSeek-R1, built by a team of researchers who claimed to have used a modest number of second-rate A.I. chips to match the performance of leading American A.I. models at a fraction of the cost.
DeepSeek said it had done this by using clever engineering to substitute for raw computing horsepower. And it had done it in China, a country many experts thought was in a distant second place in the global A.I. race.
Some industry watchers initially reacted to DeepSeek’s breakthrough with disbelief. Surely, they thought, DeepSeek had cheated to achieve R1’s results, or fudged their numbers to make their model look more impressive than it was. Maybe the Chinese government was promoting propaganda to undermine the narrative of American A.I. dominance. Maybe DeepSeek was hiding a stash of illicit Nvidia H100 chips, banned under U.S. export controls, and lying about it. Maybe R1 was actually just a clever re-skinning of American A.I. models that didn’t represent much in the way of real progress.
Eventually, as more people dug into the details of DeepSeek-R1 — which, unlike most leading A.I. models, was released as open-source software, allowing outsiders to examine its inner workings more closely — their skepticism morphed into worry.
And late last week, when lots of Americans started to use DeepSeek’s models for themselves, and the DeepSeek mobile app hit the number one spot on Apple’s App Store, it tipped into full-blown panic.
I’m skeptical of the most dramatic takes I’ve seen over the past few days — such as the claim, made by one Silicon Valley investor, that DeepSeek is an elaborate plot by the Chinese government to destroy the American tech industry. I also think it’s plausible that the company’s shoestring budget has been badly exaggerated, or that it piggybacked on advancements made by American A.I. firms in ways it hasn’t disclosed.
But I do think that DeepSeek’s R1 breakthrough was real. Based on conversations I’ve had with industry insiders, and a week’s worth of experts poking around and testing the paper’s findings for themselves, it appears to be throwing into question several major assumptions the American tech industry has been making.
The first is the assumption that in order to build cutting-edge A.I. models, you need to spend huge amounts of money on powerful chips and data centers.
It’s hard to overstate how foundational this dogma has become. Companies like Microsoft, Meta and Google have already spent tens of billions of dollars building out the infrastructure they thought was needed to build and run next-generation A.I. models. They plan to spend tens of billions more — or, in the case of OpenAI, as much as $500 billion through a joint venture with Oracle and SoftBank that was announced last week.
DeepSeek appears to have spent a small fraction of that building R1. We don’t know the exact cost, and there are plenty of caveats to make about the figures they’ve released so far. It’s almost certainly higher than $5.5 million, the number the company claims it spent training a previous model.
But even if R1 cost 10 times more to train than DeepSeek claims, and even if you factor in other costs they may have excluded, like engineer salaries or the costs of doing basic research, it would still be orders of magnitude less than what American A.I. companies are spending to develop their most capable models.
The obvious conclusion to draw is not that American tech giants are wasting their money. It’s still expensive to run powerful A.I. models once they’re trained, and there are reasons to think that spending hundreds of billions of dollars will still make sense for companies like OpenAI and Google, which can afford to pay dearly to stay at the head of the pack.
But DeepSeek’s breakthrough on cost challenges the “bigger is better” narrative that has driven the A.I. arms race in recent years by showing that relatively small models, when trained properly, can match or exceed the performance of much bigger models.
That, in turn, means that A.I. companies may be able to achieve very powerful capabilities with far less investment than previously thought. And it suggests that we may soon see a flood of investment into smaller A.I. start-ups, and much more competition for the giants of Silicon Valley. (Which, because of the enormous costs of training their models, have mostly been competing with each other until now.)
There are other, more technical reasons that everyone in Silicon Valley is paying attention to DeepSeek. In the research paper, the company reveals some details about how R1 was actually built, which include some cutting-edge techniques in model distillation. (Basically, that means compressing big A.I. models down into smaller ones, making them cheaper to run without losing much in the way of performance.)
DeepSeek also included details that suggested that it had not been as hard as previously thought to convert a “vanilla” A.I. language model into a more sophisticated reasoning model, by applying a technique known as reinforcement learning on top of it. (Don’t worry if these terms go over your head — what matters is that methods for improving A.I. systems that were previously closely guarded by American tech companies are now out there on the web, free for anyone to take and replicate.)
Even if the stock prices of American tech giants recover in the coming days, the success of DeepSeek raises important questions about their long-term A.I. strategies. If a Chinese company is able to build cheap, open-source models that match the performance of expensive American models, why would anyone pay for ours? And if you’re Meta — the only U.S. tech giant that releases its models as free open-source software — what prevents DeepSeek or another start-up from simply taking your models, which you spent billions of dollars on, and distilling them into smaller, cheaper models that they can offer for pennies?
DeepSeek’s breakthrough also undercuts some of the geopolitical assumptions many American experts had been making about China’s position in the A.I. race.
First, it challenges the narrative that China is meaningfully behind the frontier, when it comes to building powerful A.I. models. For years, many A.I. experts (and the policymakers who listen to them) have assumed that the United States had a lead of at least several years, and that copying the advancements made by American tech firms was prohibitively hard for Chinese companies to do quickly.
But DeepSeek’s results show that China has advanced A.I. capabilities that can match or exceed models from OpenAI and other American A.I. companies, and that breakthroughs made by U.S. firms may be trivially easy for Chinese firms — or, at least, one Chinese firm — to replicate in a matter of weeks.
(The New York Times has sued OpenAI and its partner, Microsoft, accusing them of copyright infringement of news content related to A.I. systems. OpenAI and Microsoft have denied those claims.)
The results also raise questions about whether the steps the U.S. government has been taking to limit the spread of powerful A.I. systems to our adversaries — namely, the export controls used to prevent powerful A.I. chips from falling into China’s hands — are working as designed, or whether those regulations need to adapt to take into account new, more efficient ways of training models.
And, of course, there are concerns about what it would mean for privacy and censorship if China took the lead in building powerful A.I. systems used by millions of Americans. Users of DeepSeek’s models have noticed that they routinely refuse to respond to questions about sensitive topics inside China, such as the Tiananmen Square massacre and Uyghur detention camps. If other developers build on top of DeepSeek’s models, as is common with open-source software, those censorship measures may get embedded across the industry.
Privacy experts have also raised concerns about the fact that data shared with DeepSeek models may be accessible by the Chinese government. If you were worried about TikTok being used as an instrument of surveillance and propaganda, the rise of DeepSeek should worry you, too.
I’m still not sure what the full impact of DeepSeek’s breakthrough will be, or whether we will consider the release of R1 a “Sputnik moment” for the A.I. industry, as some have claimed.
But it seems wise to take seriously the possibility that we are in a new era of A.I. brinkmanship now — that the biggest and richest American tech companies may no longer win by default, and that containing the spread of increasingly powerful A.I. systems may be harder than we thought.
At the very least, DeepSeek has shown that the A.I. arms race is truly on, and that after several years of dizzying progress, there are still more surprises left in store.
Why DeepSeek Could Change What Silicon Valley Believes About A.I.Artificial Intelligence has long been a buzzword in the tech industry, with companies racing to develop algorithms and systems that can mimic human intelligence. However, many in Silicon Valley are starting to question the current direction of A.I. development, which often prioritizes efficiency and automation over ethics and human values.
Enter DeepSeek, a groundbreaking A.I. company that is challenging the status quo and pushing the boundaries of what is possible with artificial intelligence. Unlike traditional A.I. systems that are focused on data analysis and decision-making, DeepSeek is revolutionizing the field with its emphasis on empathy, creativity, and emotional intelligence.
By training their algorithms to understand and respond to human emotions, DeepSeek is not only changing how A.I. interacts with people, but also how it can be used to solve complex problems and make meaningful contributions to society. Their innovative approach has caught the attention of many in Silicon Valley, who are starting to rethink their preconceived notions about the limitations of artificial intelligence.
With DeepSeek leading the way, the future of A.I. looks more human-centered and compassionate than ever before. As more companies adopt their approach, we may see a shift in the tech industry towards A.I. that is not just intelligent, but truly empathetic and understanding. DeepSeek is proving that A.I. can be a force for good, and their work may just change what Silicon Valley believes about the potential of artificial intelligence.

It’s ignited a heated debate in American tech circles: How did a small Chinese company so dramatically surpass the best-funded players in the AI industry? And what does this mean for the field going forward?
Meta’s chief AI scientist Yann LeCun wrote in a Threads post that this development doesn’t mean China is “surpassing the US in AI,” but rather serves as evidence that “open source models are surpassing proprietary ones.” He added that DeepSeek benefited from other open-weight models, including some of Meta’s.
“They came up with new ideas and built them on top of other people’s work. Because their work is published and open source, everyone can profit from it,” LeCun wrote. “That is the power of open research and open source.”
(Although many companies, including DeepSeek and Meta, claim their AI models are open source, they have not actually revealed their training data to the public.)
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also appeared to take a jab at DeepSeek last month, after some users noticed that V3 would occasionally confuse itself with ChatGPT. A day after V3’s release, Altman wrote on X that “it is (relatively) easy to copy something that you know works. it is extremely hard to do something new, risky, and difficult when you don’t know if it will work.”
Some figures online floated unsubstantiated claims that DeepSeek’s success is a Chinese government “psyop,” or psychological operation, casting suspicion on the small team’s ability to “beat all of the top researchers in the world as a side project.”
Soumith Chintala, cofounder of PyTorch, the machine learning library developed by Meta AI, was among many this weekend who hit back at these allegations.
“i’m comically impressed that people are coping on deepseek by spewing bizarre conspiracy theories — despite deepseek open-sourcing and writing some of the most detail oriented papers ever,” Chintala posted on X. “read. replicate. compete. don’t be salty, just makes you look incompetent.”
Others in the tech and investment spheres joined in on the praise, expressing excitement about the implications of DeepSeek’s success.
“This is what makes the DeepSeek thing so funny. A bunch of grifters have been selling AI secret sauce for years — spooky mystery juice that could never be fully explained,” macroeconomist Philip Pilkington wrote on X. “Now a bunch of young guys just wrote a good algo, published it, and the circus tent burned down.”
Nat Friedman, the former CEO of Github, similarly posted: “The deepseek team is obviously really good. China is full of talented engineers. Every other take is cope. Sorry.”
DeepSeek’s models tout bilingual proficiency, excelling in both Chinese and English. They do, however, appear subject to censorship or specific political leanings around topics deemed sensitive in China.
When asked about the sovereignty of Taiwan, a self-ruling island democracy that Beijing claims as its territory, DeepSeek’s R1 sometimes states the subject is “beyond my current scope.” Other times, the model describes Taiwan as “an inalienable part of China’s territory,” adding: “We firmly oppose any form of ‘Taiwan independence’ separatist activities and are committed to achieving the complete reunification of the motherland through peaceful means.”
Hot on the heels of DeepSeek’s latest models, other players in China’s tech sector are already rolling out new contenders in the race for AI dominance.
Alibaba on Sunday introduced its newest Qwen2.5-1M model, an upgrade from Qwen2.5-72B.
Kimi AI, owned by Beijing-based company Moonshot AI, also announced the launch of its latest multimodal reasoning model Kimi k1.5 on Saturday, which it touts as comparable to OpenAI’s o1.
China’s tech industry is making waves once again with the introduction of a new AI assistant that has Silicon Valley talking. This innovative assistant, developed by a Chinese tech company, is said to rival the capabilities of popular AI assistants like Siri and Alexa.With advanced natural language processing and machine learning capabilities, this AI assistant is able to understand and respond to complex commands and questions. Its developers claim that it can perform tasks ranging from scheduling appointments and setting reminders to providing personalized recommendations and even engaging in casual conversations.
The introduction of this new AI assistant from China has sparked a debate among tech enthusiasts in Silicon Valley. Some see it as a formidable competitor that could potentially disrupt the market dominance of existing AI assistants, while others view it as a sign of China’s growing influence in the global tech industry.
Regardless of where one stands on the issue, it’s clear that this new AI assistant is a force to be reckoned with. As it continues to evolve and improve, it will be interesting to see how it shapes the future of AI technology and impacts the way we interact with our devices.
