Trump warns of “waking up” for American technology companies

US President Donald Trump described the appearance of the Chinese company Dibsic “an invitation to wake up” for the American technology industry, after the appearance of the AI ​​model (AI) has shocked the Wall Street.

The shares in major technology companies such as NVIDIA decreased sharply, as the chips giant lost about 600 billion dollars (482 billion pounds) in the market value.

What was shaken in the industry is Deepseek that its R1 model has been made on a small part of the cost of its competitors – raising questions about the future of AI’s dominance in America and the investment scale that American companies plan.

Deepseek has become the most free download in the United States just one week after its launch.

In response to the news, Trump said that the latest developments in the artificial intelligence industry in China may be “positive” for the United States.

“If you can do it cheaper, if you can do this [for] less [and] Access to the same end result. “I think this is a good thing for us,” he told reporters on the first air force.

He also said that he was not worried about the achievement, adding that the United States would remain a dominant player in this field.

Deepseek is run by an open source Deepseek -V3 model, whose researchers claim to have been trained on about 6 million dollars (4.2 million pounds) – much lower than the billions spent by competitors. But this claim has been waived by others in artificial intelligence.

Its appearance comes at a time when the United States restricts the sale of advanced chip technology that works to formulate artificial intelligence in China.

To continue their work without fixed supplies of imported advanced chips, the Chinese artificial intelligence developers shared their work with each other and tried new technology methods.

This has led to artificial intelligence models that require much lower computing power than before.

This also means that it costs much less than what was previously believed, which has the ability to increase this industry.

The company was founded in 2023 by Liang Winfing in Hangzhou, a city in southeastern China.

He also established the 40 -year -old, a graduate of information and electronic engineering, the hedge fund that supported Deepseek.

It was recently seen at a meeting between industry experts and Chinese Prime Minister Lee Qiang.

In the July 2024 interview with China AcademyMr. Liang said he was surprised by the reaction of the previous version of the artificial intelligence model.

“We did not expect the pricing to be a sensitive problem,” he said.

“We were simply following our own pace, costing costs, and setting prices accordingly.”

Following the trauma of markets in the United States on Monday, shares in Japanese -related Japanese companies, including Advantest, SoftBank, and Tokyo Electron sharply on Tuesday, helped to push the NIKKEI standard 225 by 1.4 %.

Many other markets are closed in Asia to spend the new moon vacation. The financial markets in China will be closed from Tuesday and will be reopened on February 5.

After the launch of DeepSeek-R1 earlier this month, the company boasted with “an equal performance with” one of Openai’s latest styles when using it for matters, coding and thinking about the natural language.

Deepseek technology has been praised by high -level characters.

“The ability of the American models to compete despite the limited access to advanced devices shows that the ingenuity of software and data efficiency can compensate for the restrictions of the devices,” said Marina Chang, a co -professor at the University of Sydney, who focuses on high -tech industries in China.

Ion Stoika, co -founder and CEO of AI Databrics Software, told the BBC that the low cost of Deepseek can stimulate more companies to adopt artificial intelligence in its business.

“If this happens, this cost reduction can accelerate the progress of artificial intelligence,” he said. “In general, the market will expand faster, and the market value will grow faster.”

The Chinese company claims that its model be trained on 2000 specialized chips compared to an estimated 16,000 for leading models.

But not everyone is convinced. Some have made suspicion of some diplisik claims, including the technology pole, Elon Musk.

A job was claimed that Deepseek has already has about 50,000 NVIDIA chips that have now been banned from export to China, saying: “It is clear.”
