the hottest upand cominging company in
0:02
big Tech says it's been hit by a major
0:03
Cyber attack china-based deep seek says
0:06
the attack caused major outages and
0:08
disabled new users from signing on it
0:10
have been the number one download in the
0:12
Apple App Store prior to the
0:13
announcement that Tech heavy NASDAQ
0:15
stock market open sharply lower as
0:18
investors worried about the company's
0:19
impact on the AI Community the company's
0:22
AI model card called R1 works just like
0:25
chat GPT but apparently costs far less
0:27
to develop compared to competitors
0:30
Google meta or open AI for more on this
0:32
Aaron Greg joins us now he's a business
0:33
reporter for the Washington Post Aaron
0:35
thanks for being here what specifically
0:37
has investors worried about deep
0:39
seek so what really has investors
0:42
worried here is just the dramatically
0:44
lower cost that deep seek is claiming um
0:47
companies like anthropic for example
0:49
have said that it it costs more than a
0:51
hundred million to develop their AI
0:53
models deep seek is claiming about 5
0:55
million uh that is a dramatic reduction
0:59
in what it takes in terms of chips in
1:02
terms of power uh just about everything
1:04
you can imagine totally changes the
1:06
equation if it were true um what this
1:09
means for tech companies in the US right
1:12
now is that all of these companies that
1:14
are built into the AI
1:16
infrastructure uh companies like Nidia
1:19
uh data center companies we basically
1:21
have been orienting themselves towards a
1:24
huge you know hundreds of billions of
1:26
dollars of spend uh to develop this us
1:29
AI industry based on the costs that that
1:32
we thought were going to be uh much much
1:35
higher than this for a very long time
1:37
they're now having to Grapple with the
1:39
idea that it might be much cheaper there
1:41
might be a much cheaper way to develop a
1:43
large language model and uh this made in
1:46
China deep seek is the one leading the
1:48
charge so is this sort of a wakeup call
1:49
to us
1:51
competitors it definitely is again we
1:54
need to learn more about this app
1:56
anytime you see something pop up like
1:58
this uh and suddenly become popular
2:00
there are a lot of questions that need
2:01
to be asked but it's definitely a wakeup
2:03
call Mark Andre for example longtime
2:06
Silicon Valley Tech investor said it's
2:08
one of the greatest Innovations he's
2:10
ever seen uh basically because it's low
2:13
cost and it seems to perform uh pretty
2:16
well almost as well as as some of the
2:18
the leading uh you know us-based and and
2:22
European apps such as Chachi PT so this
2:25
really is a wake up a wake up call for
2:27
anyone who's in Silicon Valley or anyone
2:29
associated with the Western uh AI
2:31
industry but right now the stakes might
2:33
not be super high because we are not
2:34
incredibly reliant on AI yet but as AI
2:37
becomes more built in and as AI even
2:40
maybe become sort of this miracle thing
2:42
that some of these American CEOs are
2:43
saying that it can cure some diseases I
2:45
mean working pretty well is not going to
2:48
to to be the bar right so does more need
2:50
to be figured out about deep seek deep
2:52
seek and and how accurate this
2:54
is it sure does we need to watch this to
2:56
see how it develops but what a lot of
2:59
tech figures are saying right now is
3:01
that one of the biggest limitations for
3:03
the industry's progress for its ability
3:05
to develop uh new applications and and
3:08
new New Frontiers for the industry is
3:10
the cost uh that the the ability to uh
3:14
have enough chips for example to develop
3:16
what you need to make is one of the big
3:18
things that is holding back the AI
3:20
industry right now that's why Nvidia uh
3:22
has become one of the most valuable tech
3:24
companies on the planet if that cost is
3:27
being slashed to a tenth of we
3:30
previously thought it was uh you could
3:32
see that enabling uh all kinds of New
3:35
Frontiers uh for these companies eron
3:38
