Everyone’s rattled by the rise of DeepSeek—except Nvidia, which enabled it

Nvidia has been navigating U.S.-China tensions while continuing to sell AI chips in China. Amid rising export restrictions aimed at limiting China's AI capabilities, Nvidia adapted by developing modified chips compliant with U.S. rules, sparking frustrations in Washington. Despite potential risks, Nvidia views long-term engagement with China as essential for maintaining its market leadership. The company's strategy included lobbying against new regulations, even as debates intensified over balancing business interests and national security concerns.

DeepSeek has released a distilled version of its R1 AI model, called DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B, which performs well on benchmarks compared to similarly sized models. Built on Alibaba's Qwen3-8B, it excels in math tests against larger competitors like Google's Gemini and Microsoft's Phi 4. While less demanding computationally, needing only a single GPU with 40GB-80GB RAM, it offers robust performance. It is available for commercial use under the MIT license.

ETtech Explainer: The story behind DeepSeek’s greener and leaner chatbot

Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has gained attention with its cost-efficient technology, particularly its large language model, DeepSeek V3, which powers the R1 chatbot. Using a "Mixture of Experts" architecture and Reinforcement Learning, it activates only 37 parameters out of 671 billion for tasks, enhancing computational capacity and reducing costs. Notably, it developed this model at a fraction of the cost of competitors like OpenAI. This disruption has impacted tech stocks globally, prompting declines in major companies' valuations.
