Full Episode
Well, folks, did China just drink our milkshake? China has a brand new AI model. It's called DeepSeek. And some people are comparing this technical advancement from China to Russia's Sputnik moment back in 1957 when they launched a satellite into orbit, shocking America's technological cadre. What exactly are we talking about here? Apparently, China has now released a brand new AI.
It's called DeepSeek. This is an AI that was trained on chips that are way less sophisticated than the NVIDIA chips that have been sort of the drivers of the AI revolution. So to review for just a second, for those of us who haven't been following AI very closely, artificial intelligence has progressed tremendously over the course of the last three to four years. Tremendously.
If you've been following ChatGPT, it is so good at this point at pretty much everything, and it is only one step removed from being able to do many things in the real world. So for example, if you use ChatGPT to put together a travel itinerary for any location on the globe, you can give it a prompt. It'll give you the travel itinerary.
Right now, you can't just hit book, but soon you will be able to do that. And AI is going to change how we do our jobs in so many different industries. It was assumed that America had a massive lead in the AI industry. Why? Well, because AI...
working as it does, of incredible levels of data, just reams and reams of data, has to use very sophisticated microchips typically created by NVIDIA and then produced at TSMC, which is an actual semiconductor factory over in Taiwan. And firms like Meta that have been investing billions of dollars into AI or OpenAI or Google.
All of these various companies have been pouring billions of dollars into buying these NVIDIA microchips that are designed in order to be able to process these huge quantities of data because that's how AI actually works. The way that AI works is it crunches as much data as humanly possible.
It works it through a matrix where it can actually determine which words in any given sentence are the most important. And then it predicts, essentially, this is how LLMs work, large language models. It then predicts what the next word in a sentence is going to be.
This is why you can prompt ChatGPT to write you a joke about a duck in the style of Charles Dickens, and it will do that, simply based off cramming extraordinary amounts of data. Takes huge energy, takes huge number of sophisticated microchips, or at least that's what everybody thought until a little bit earlier this week. This week, China released... an AI model called DeepSeek.
DeepSeek is apparently just as sophisticated as ChatGPT, but it cost a fraction of the cost to produce. Instead of using NVIDIA sophisticated microchips, apparently they were using less sophisticated microchips. That's the reason why NVIDIA, which had been moved up to a trillion dollar market cap, it had grown massively.
