Hey! It’s Marc 👋

The big news this week has been the emergence of DeepSeek, the Chinese ChatGPT, shaking up both the internet and financial markets.

In case you haven’t heard, a small Chinese company has launched this AI model with a surprisingly low investment, proving that billions of dollars aren’t necessary to compete with industry giants. Its open-source approach and development efficiency have made a huge impact—so much so that it even rattled Nvidia’s stock.

DeepSeek has disrupted the AI market with its open-source strategy and unexpectedly efficient development. Unlike Western models like ChatGPT, this new competitor offers greater accessibility to developers and businesses, reducing reliance on giants like OpenAI and Google. Its ability to operate with fewer computational resources breaks the barrier of high costs, opening new opportunities for startups and independent projects.

Moreover, its arrival is pressuring big tech companies to accelerate innovation and rethink their strategies, which could benefit users with better models and more competitive pricing. At the same time, DeepSeek could establish China as a key player in the AI market, especially if it successfully integrates into ecosystems like WeChat or Baidu. This new alternative doesn’t just challenge the status quo—it marks the beginning of a new era in artificial intelligence.

Are we witnessing a paradigm shift in the world of AI? 🔥
