DeepSeek: Former Google CEO Highlights Pivotal Moment in Global AI Race

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg indicated it is premature to assess the influence of DeepSeek's AI model on his company and the tech industry. DeepSeek, associated with High-Flyer, swiftly engineered its R1 large language model in under two months for under $6 million, leading to a 17% decline in Nvidia shares. Zuckerberg stressed the strategic value of substantial infrastructure investments, highlighting its significance despite DeepSeek's cost-effective approach. Both Microsoft and Meta's CEOs justified their substantial AI investments as necessary to meet escalating corporate needs in response to DeepSeek's progress.
