AI is developing at lightning-fast speeds. What is seen as game-changing on a Monday could be seen as behind the curve by Friday. Investors have been reminded of that this week as AI darling stocks such as Nvidia (NVDA) get punished on fears of DeepSeek. The China-based model maker that competes with OpenAI and Meta (META) has called into question the computing power that's needed to drive AI innovation. It has also raised concerns about whether the US is behind China in the great AI race. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi digs into this hot topic with Snowflake CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy. Snowflake’s technology is a key enabler of large language models, so the company has a prime seat to how fast the sector is moving and how. Ramaswamy shares his perspective on DeepSeek, and looks to put to bed the views Snowflake is being left behind in the AI race.
