DeepSeek has US AI firms talking about Jevons paradox and invigoration

The AI sector is still feeling the heat with bears circling, ready to pounce on any signs of weakness,

said Stephen Innes at SPI Asset Management

With our policy stance significantly less restrictive than it had been, and the economy remaining strong, we do not need to be in a hurry to adjust our policy stance."

After the announcement, boss Jerome Powell said

I was trained on a combination of Nvidia A100 and H100 GPUs,

the DeepSeek chatbot tells us

I guess the question from my perspective would be, can we keep the same weight and mobility but put in a larger display,

he says

Until now, AI has been defined more by largesse than finesse,

Crane wrote to clients

There’s substantial evidence that what DeepSeek did here is they distilled the knowledge out of OpenAI’s models,

he said

We know [China]-based companies – and others – are constantly trying to distill the models of leading US AI companies,

the OpenAI spokesperson said

Should the DeepSeek AI funding model prove sustainable, the AI tokens or projects that will stand the test of time will align with these models to bring users a cheap, functional AI solution,

Shadid projected

While temporary capitulation might take a short while, a comprehensive rebalancing is imminent,

Shadid said of the recent events that took place around the crypto market since DeepSeek's crash-landing in the tech space

Web3 AI innovators might find a way to align with Chinese tech in the mid to long term while hedging their alliance to get the best of both markets,

he said

We engage in counter-measures to protect our IP, including a careful process for which frontier capabilities to include in released models, and believe as we go forward that it is critically important that we are working closely with the US government to best protect the most capable models from efforts by adversaries and competitors to take US technology,

the OpenAI representative stated

DeepSeek might be a technological breakthrough, but it is also a mouthpiece for Chinese propaganda,

Czarnocki stated

It collects sensitive data that would benefit the CCP, a regime known for human rights abuses. Chinese AI platforms and apps fuel threats including digital transnational repression. We can't afford to overlook this."

Rushan Abbas, Executive Director of the Campaign for Uyghurs, condemned the platform on social media, saying

Deepseek R1 is one of the most amazing and impressive breakthroughs I´ve ever seen - and as open source, a profound gift to the world.

In a separate post, he said

There's no such thing as low cost, because the security and privacy costs are extremely high - let alone the perverted prism through which many answers will be presented

Shadow Security Minister Alicia Kearns said of DeepSeek

It’s a super competitive industry, right? And this is showing that it’s competitive globally, not just within the US,

Weil said on a call with reporters about OpenAI’s new ChatGPT offering for government agencies, in response to a question from CNN

That crazy AI data center build-out that we’ve been talking about for the last couple of years? They don’t need to do that anymore. They can build a lot less because they can provide a lot more services at a much lower price,

Luria said

It’s so hard to own a scientific breakthrough” such as an AI model advancement

Kass said,

We are freaked out fairly, I suppose, because we thought we had global AI supremacy, when, in fact, we should be celebrating,

Kass said

All those other frontier model labs — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google — are going to build far more efficient models based on what they’re learning from DeepSeek,

said Gil Luria, head of technology research at investment firm D.A. Davidson
