Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, has claimed its new model outperforms OpenAI's at just $5.6 million to train, causing a major market drop—$600 billion in Nvidia's value. Critics question the validity of DeepSeek's cost and technology, as the company is accused of potentially using OpenAI's methods for its R1 model. In tests, DeepSeek showed strong performance but exhibited self-censorship, aligning with China's political stances. While some experts hail DeepSeek's achievements as a win for open-source AI, others express concern about the implications of China's technological advancements on U.S. AI competition.
