**DeepSeek: The Earthquake that Shook Big Tech**
On Monday (27/01), the technology market experienced a "Bloody Monday". Shares of giants such as Nvidia, Meta and Microsoft plummeted after the launch of the AI model **DeepSeek R1**, from the Chinese startup DeepSeek.
**Why the impact?**
- DeepSeek promises cutting-edge AI services for **just 5% of the cost** of current leaders, such as OpenAI.
- Using H800 chips (less advanced and cheaper than Nvidia's H100), the startup created a highly efficient model for just **US$ 6 million**.
- DeepSeek R1 already surpasses ChatGPT in benchmarks and leads global downloads.
**Market Impact:**
📉 **Stock Drop:** Nvidia lost $$ 460 billion in market value; Meta and Microsoft also fell.
📉 **Crypto Impact:** Bitcoin fell 5.56% as investors sought safe haven assets.
**AI Sputnik Moment:**
Experts compare the launch to the launch of Sputnik, a milestone in the technology race between China and the US. DeepSeek proves that innovation and efficiency can overcome billion-dollar investments.
**What does this mean?**
- **Threat to Big Techs:** Massive investments do not guarantee leadership.
- **Market Opportunity:** Cost reductions can accelerate global adoption of AI.
The DeepSeek case is a warning: the future of technology will be shaped by those who can innovate with agility and affordable costs.
