A dark horse in the AI field — DeepSeek has risen from China. It has shaken large tech stocks, causing Nvidia's stock price to plummet. 'This is a typical phenomenon in our industry,' said Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff. 'Pioneers do not necessarily become winners in the end.
DeepSeek has worried Wall Street, as the cost of developing models will be lower than expected. But with chip stocks falling, some analysts see a glimmer of hope. What if the expenses for companies to develop AI models are less than anticipated?
SoftBank Group fell 5.0% in the Japanese market, and chip testing equipment manufacturer Advantest plummeted 11%. A market strategist mentioned that there might be some 'sell first, think later' mentality in the market regarding whether DeepSeek will become a disruptor reshaping the AI landscape in the United States, opinions are divided.
Data shows that the cost of generating information with DeepSeek's AI model is about one-tenth that of OpenAI's ChatGPT. A research firm stated that this price difference puts pressure on tech competitors, potentially forcing them to lower the fees they charge customers for using AI models and to adjust the high costs of training and developing AI models.
Recently, the stock market and cryptocurrency market were affected by a wave released by DeepSeek. Speculators also plummeted, harvesting losses. However, from the BTC pattern, it still appears bullish. Altcoins have recently seen retail investors withdrawing funds due to the holiday in C country. After the pullback, many have exited with losses. At this moment, it is crucial to endure the pressure of decline and not cut losses now. In terms of contracts, even if you play, you should do so with a small position. February is a magical month; perhaps a little positive news will lead to a one-sided surge and sustained price increase. Those currently in a bind can only hold on and choose to lie flat. In the first quarter of 2025, don’t leave without making a profit.
