For anyone who thinks ‘DeepSeek’ has not upended all of AI, or thinks USA is still far ahead of the rest of the world, please read the above linked article

Facebook AKA Meta has set up 4 War Rooms

1. 2 are trying to deduce how High Flyer (the Chinese company behind DeepSeek) reduced their training costs so much
2. 1 is trying to figure out what data High Flyer might have used for building DeepSeek

When is the last time you heard of a large technology company setting up 4 War Rooms to respond to what a rival did?

Amazon has ONE single team to figure out Shopify. Can you imagine the amount of panic in Silicon Valley and Seattle if Meta/Facebook are setting up 4 war rooms to understand what DeepSeek did?

DeepSeek is an EXISTENTIAL threat to Existing AI giants and to the Large US Technology Companies

What is worse for the US Technology Giants is that by making all its models and technology Open Source, DeepSeek is setting up the stage for SOMEONE/ANYONE to become an Existential Threat

To be Precise – The Cost Requirements are reduced by 80%. So instead of just 50 to 100 possible rivals worldwide, now there are thousands of possible rivals worldwide

Furthermore – What if some company builds on DeepSeek’s technology and reduces costs more? We could suddenly see 5,000 to 10,000 AI startups that have a REALISTIC chance of becoming a Top 5 AI company

DeepSeek is fighting USA’s ‘do not let anyone else have the hardware or the technology’ approach with Open Source. And, what is worse, is it is currently winning.

Avoid the Gaslighting – All Honest People see DeepSeek for the MASSIVE threat to US dominance in AI that it is

Stephanie Palazzo’s tweet is spot on -> Stephanie Palazzolo on X: “NEW: American AI firms are scrambling after a Chinese hedge fund released an impressive and uber-cheap AI model. Meta has set up 4 “war rooms” to dissect the DeepSeek model to see what insights it can apply to its Llama AI. w/ @KalleyHuang @amir https://t.co/ZCAq4UCt1B” / X

US PR and Large Tech Company PR might be trying to spin the BS that DeepSeek is ‘not a big deal’. In Reality it has everyone stunned and scrambling for answers.
