Summary
DeepSeek's emergence with its open-source reasoning model has rattled the U.S.-led AI ecosystem, causing a hit to Nvidia's market cap. While sector leaders struggle, smaller AI companies see opportunity to scale with the Chinese startup. DeepSeek's open-source models are seen as a massive opportunity by many in the industry, potentially accelerating the adoption of new chip technologies for AI inference. Analysts believe DeepSeek's accomplishments could lead to cheaper inference costs and greater AI adoption, following the pattern of Jevon's Paradox. Smaller players in the AI chip industry are optimistic about growth opportunities as overall demand for AI increases.
