DeepSeek, the Chinese artificial intelligence startup that sent tech stocks reeling this week, sparked fresh concerns about U.S. companies losing

Nvidia called DeepSeek's R1 model "an excellent AI advancement," despite the Chinese startup's emergence causing the chip maker's stock price to plunge 17%.

In the wake of the DeepSeek rout of U.S. technology stocks, Republican Senator Josh Hawley wants to stop chipmakers like Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD

B AI model on its wafer-scale processor, delivering 57x faster speeds than GPU solutions and challenging Nvidia's AI chip dominance with U.S.-based inference processing.

U.S. companies were spooked when the Chinese startup released models said to match or outperform leading American ones at a fraction of the cost.

Computer scientist and AI expert Andrew Ng didn't explicitly mention the significance of R1 being an open source model, but highlighted how the DeepSeek disruption is a boon for developers, since it allows access that is otherwise gatekept by Big Tech.

The firm created the dataset of prompts by seeding questions into a program and by extending it via synthetic data generation. The dataset was published in a Hugging Face listing as well on Google Sheets. Promptfoo stated that it was able to find 1,360 prompts, where most of them contain sensitive topics around China.

In another post, the company confirmed that it hosts DeepSeek "in US/EU data centers - your data never leaves Western servers," assuring users that their data would be safe if usi

Are DeepSeek V3 and R1 the next big things in AI? How this Chinese open-source chatbot outperformed some big-name AIs in coding tests, despite using vastly less infrastructure than its competitors.

Microsoft confirmed it will bring the DeepSeek R1 model to Azure cloud and GitHub in a move that it hopes will lessen its reliance on OpenAI's models.

The near-term implications are grim for competitive AI developers, particularly OpenAI. Data center energy demand expectations should come back down to earth now.
