According to BlockBeats, billionaire hedge fund manager and Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio has issued a warning about a potential bubble in the U.S. stock market driven by investor enthusiasm for artificial intelligence. Dalio compared the current situation to the dot-com bubble that burst at the turn of the century.Dalio highlighted that the current pricing levels in the U.S. stock market are extremely high and coupled with interest rate risks, this combination could potentially burst the bubble. He noted that the current phase of the market cycle is very similar to the conditions in 1998 or 1999. In his view, while there is no doubt that new major technologies will change the world and achieve success, some investors may be confusing this technological success with investment success.

According to Odaily, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently expressed his admiration for DeepSeek's R1 model on X, highlighting its impressive performance, particularly in terms of cost-effectiveness. Altman acknowledged the presence of new competitors in the field, which he finds exciting, and mentioned that OpenAI plans to release new versions of its models.

According to BlockBeats, on January 28, the artificial intelligence community Hugging Face announced the release of DeepSeek's open-source multimodal AI model, Janus-Pro. The Janus-Pro-7B model has outperformed OpenAI's DALL-E 3 and Stable Diffusion in GenEval and DPG-Bench benchmark tests.

According to Odaily, former ConsenSys global digital asset architect Ejaaz Ahamadeen recently shared insights on X regarding the transformative impact of DeepSeek on AI development timelines. Ahamadeen noted that DeepSeek has significantly accelerated these timelines, challenging previous assumptions that building such products would require $100 billion and result in a closed-source monopoly. Instead, DeepSeek has surpassed leading models at a minimal cost and has made its technology open source, allowing any AI developer access to this powerful model. Ahamadeen questioned why there is little discussion about the emergence of 'better agents' and suggested that the 'fat application theory' is becoming more relevant. He emphasized that this development is a significant boon for open-source AI.

According to Odaily, ai16z co-founder Shaw recently shared insights on X, emphasizing that more powerful models are always beneficial for AI agents. Over the years, AI labs have consistently outperformed each other in benchmarks and capabilities, with Google, OpenAI, and Claude taking turns in the lead. Currently, DeepSeek is at the forefront. The trend shows that the world's largest and most well-funded companies are competing in a technology that is ultimately becoming free, open-source, and operable on home computers without cost. The consistent winners in this race have been hardware and consumer products. Nvidia remains a constant victor, with each model optimized for its hardware. Apple also benefits, having invested in a unified memory architecture that allows high VRAM machines to run the latest models, albeit slowly. Products continue to gain from the latest models, with examples like Cursor and Perplexity improving significantly every few months. As AI integrates into nearly all products, they all benefit from cheaper and faster AI models. AI agents represent a new application paradigm, with the core argument being that applications need to migrate to social media platforms where users are present. Agents can exist entirely on social media without requiring users to leave, benefiting from network effects with each user interaction. Integrating a new model into an agent framework typically requires only a few lines of code, as most model providers follow the same API conventions established by OpenAI, allowing this integration to be completed in minutes. This enables any agent application to access the latest models immediately, becoming smarter with each new state-of-the-art model. This week marks a significant victory for everyone involved, including agents, humans, and AI model teams, who are now motivated to work harder and improve. Shaw expressed confidence in their position, stating that they are building the next version of Eliza, which will only get better. Thousands of teams are building on their technology, with over 500 contributors to the core repository, and this number is expected to grow as they continue to develop. They are creating a template for ambitious founders to crowdfund their public product projects, with more content to be launched in the coming weeks and months to solidify this strategy.
