DeepSeek: China's AI a warning bell for America?Is America's dominance in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) about to end? Is China's technological progress a warning bell for America? This question is being raised because a Chinese lab named DeepSeek has made such a blast that the whole world from Silicon Valley is surprised. They have created an AI model that is competing with big American companies.
On january 27, there was an earthquake in the stock market because DeepSeek's AI assistant became the most downloaded free app on Apple's iphone store. people are eager to see this new chatbot that competes with ChatGPT. At the same time, shares of America's giant tech company Nvidia have seen a huge decline on monday (January 27). Along with this, shares of other AI-related tech companies like microsoft and google also saw a huge decline.
DeepSeek's success has challenged America's AI dominance. Till now everyone believed that America is at the forefront in the world of AI, because big companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenAI, google, Meta are the ones who have no shortage of money and excellent infrastructure. But DeepSeek has shown that this is not the case. Despite less resources and old technology, DeepSeek has turned the tables in january 2025. The company has shown its strength through its new AI language model DeepSeek-V3 and has increased America's concern.
Why is America nervous?
The most special thing about DeepSeek-V3 is that this model also works like America's AI model, but it has cost very less to make it. The DeepSeek company claims that they have spent only 6 million dollars (about 50 crores rupees) to make it. However, some people are not believing this claim of DeepSeek. They are saying that it is impossible to make such a good AI model at such a low cost.
Last week, OpenAI, along with some other companies, promised to invest 500 billion dollars to build AI infrastructure in the US. President Donald Trump, in one of his first announcements after taking power again, called it the 'largest AI infrastructure project in history' which would help keep the 'future of technology' in America. But the entry of DeepSeek has changed everything.
