One week ago, the stock market was shaken by a $1 trillion tech sell-off, marking one of the most dramatic downturns in recent history. Nvidia lost $465 billion in a single day, the worst drop ever recorded, while Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta also took heavy losses.
At the center of this market upheaval is DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup claiming to have built a powerful AI model for just $6 million—a fraction of the cost of its U.S. counterparts. But is this really a breakthrough, or is the narrative misleading? We take a deep dive into what DeepSeek actually achieved, why the numbers don’t add up, and what this means for the future of AI development and U.S. tech leadership.
Beyond the stock market impact, DeepSeek’s rise has sparked serious debates on AI innovation, trade restrictions, and data privacy. While fear is driving headlines, history has shown that market disruptions often create new opportunities. Is this the start of a paradigm shift, or just another overreaction?
