2 Trillion dollars in U.S. Stock market cap erased in a day by DeepSeek, which was released only a day after the US announced a 500 billion dollar investment in AI.
DeepSeek only invested 5.6 million dollars in computing power.
Ok but they can ban the deepseek website and it’s api. Some American company with money to burn on hosting it can spin another one up, i guess, but that sure doesn’t feel like a victory for open source.
Or they could just do something like what they do for encryption algorithms.
