#DeepSeekImpact

Chronology of the historic event:

1️⃣ Exactly a week ago, DeepSeek released R1 — immediately dubbed the “ChatGPT killer.”

2️⃣ Today, the news reached Wall Street investors, who realized that DeepSeek rivals OpenAI’s top models in nearly every aspect.

3️⃣ Key point: Analysts understood that training DeepSeek cost 20 times less than training Altman’s neural networks.

4️⃣ DeepSeek has already taken the #1 spot for downloads in the App Store across Japan, South Korea, and… the U.S. — yes, ChatGPT lost to the Chinese on its home turf.

5️⃣ NVIDIA’s stock plummeted 17% — the Chinese proved that Uncle Huang’s ultra-expensive GPUs are no longer needed for building powerful AI.

6️⃣ Panic broke out in American big tech offices: a leading NVIDIA engineer stated on Twitter that OpenAI is doomed — the future of AI lies in open-source.

7️⃣ DeepSeek has restricted registration by phone number — now you can only sign up with a mainland China number.

8️⃣ Moments ago, the company announced that their neural network is performing worse due to a “large-scale malicious attack.”
