China’s DeepSeek disrupts American plans for AI dominance

#news The Chinese start-up’s AI assistant catapulted to the top of app stores last weekend after DeepSeek said the AI model behind it rivaled OpenAI’s latest release but was developed at a fraction of the cost, with far less computing power.

The company’s claims and its app’s popularity sparked soul-searching across Washington, Silicon Valley, and Wall Street. DeepSeek releases the AI models behind products such as its assistant app for anyone to download, use, and modify.

Tech stocks dropped on Monday. Spooked U.S. officials, engineers, and investors reconsidered their views on the competitive threat posed by China in AI and how the United States could stay ahead.
