Deep dives
Impact of DeepSeek on Market Dynamics
The DeepSeek AI model's introduction triggered significant market reactions, as it was touted to be 45 times more cost-efficient than existing competitors like GPT-4. The model's ability to perform complex tasks for 95% less than OpenAI's pricing raised eyebrows among investors, suggesting that NVIDIA's stock might have been overvalued based on existing business models. This unexpected shift in perception led to a rapid adjustment in stock prices, particularly for NVIDIA, which experienced a dramatic drop following the widespread discussion of DeepSeek's capabilities. Analysts speculate that the combination of the model's efficiency and the subsequent media frenzy may have inadvertently led to approximately $2 trillion being wiped from global equity markets.
