DeepSeek-R1: The AI Side Hustle That Just Shook the World I. WHAT THE HECK IS DEEPSEEK-R1? 🤨 Imagine this: A small group of Chinese developers thought, “Hey, let’s make a fun AI side project.” A weekend later, their “little project” managed to: 1/ Nuke hundreds of billions from the US stock market 💸 2/ Drag the crypto market down with it 🪦 3/ Drop-kick ChatGPT off the #1 App Store spot 🥋 So… what’s the deal with DeepSeek-R1? Turns out, it’s got everyone sweating because it’s: • Insanely efficient • Nearly free • And kind of amazing Here’s the scoop: Launched just last Monday, DeepSeek-R1 is a reasoning AI (not your basic responsive AI). Instead of regurgitating pre-scraped internet data, it thinks through answers like a human. Fancy, right? II. WHY DID DEEPSEEK CAUSE A GLOBAL FREAKOUT? 1/ Free-ish: 50 messages/day for free, and even heavy API use costs peanuts. 2/ Runs anywhere: US banned Nvidia chips, so the devs built this beast to work on whatever hardware they could find—yes, even an iPhone. 3/ Outperforms big names: Two months, <$10M, and this thing is rivaling models that cost a fortune. Oh, and it’s open-source. Run it. Tweak it. Flex it. The world’s your playground. “Ok, Tu Michael – but how did one Large Language Model wipe billions of dollars from capital markets??” Follow me and read part 2 to find out 👇 Tu Michael - Crypto Investor since 2017 #DeepSeekImpact
