Elon Musk ‘questions’ DeepSeek’s claims, suggests massive Nvidia GPU infrastructure

A Chinese start-up startup is grabbing the giant global tech firms by the horns, which has surprised the worldwide markets. DeepSeek has disrupted the foundations of major American companies such as Nvidia, OpenAI, Google, and Meta, all of whom have dominated the AI sector for years. Microsoft’s stock dropped 3.8%, TSMC’s U.S. stock slid 14%, and shares of AI chip pioneer Nvidia fell 16%.

DeepSeek appears to have the advantage of being a low-cost model and, most crucially, open source. However, the reality of DeepSeek’s claim about low cost is already being debated in the AI community.
