OR: "AI speculative bubble deflates as people realise there may not be massive profit in AI". It's not upending the AI industry, it's upending the expectations that AI will be a license to print money (which has been based on nothing).
These companies kept promising proprietary meant that they could innovate more & that you needed billions of dollars to make it work, and then got their asses handed to them by an open source model developed in two months costing over 200x less
Lol it is open source. They can't even fathom what that means & how something can be free & open, and how allowing anyone to contribute & use something helps innovation.
They still banned it. Will it stay up? I honestly don’t care. But they hate anything that makes it look like China is winning the dick measuring contest.
The massive upside to Deepseek R1 being released is that these new reasoning capabilities will increase demand for inference devices. I would remain bullish!
