AI’s Sputnik Moment
The CEO of Scale AI said his understanding is that Deepseek has ~50,000 Nvidia H100s which they can’t talk about pic.twitter.com/MeGEg3dpgh

? Finally had a chance to dig into DeepSeek’s r1…
Let me break down why DeepSeek’s AI innovations are blowing people’s minds (and possibly threatening Nvidia’s $2T market cap) in simple terms…

DeepSeek is the black swan OpenAI and $NVDA didn’t see coming.
CNBC is all over it, questioning what happens next now that this free open source model costs 30x less to operate on old hardware. https://t.co/jq3rWyyG7v pic.twitter.com/N1AjSAbrsw

America is undergoing something akin to a massively depressed person finally getting themselves out of bed and cleaning up their room, starting with taking out the trash.

The Chinese DeepSeek model is the best AI model in the world. They trained it with only $5m while Silicon Valley has been grifting billions by fear mongering about China winning the AI race. Now China is winning the AI race and no one cares except the fools in Silicon Valley… pic.twitter.com/GAX2p9R17I

It has been a week where decades happen.
I’ve been on the road traveling to and back from Memphis.
Last week, it was made crystal clear that AI would be a major focus of the incoming Trump administration. Indian Bronson had a great take about it on X. America last week was like a massively depressed person snapping out of it, getting out of bed and starting to clean their room.
Trump signed an executive order to make America the world leader in AI. He did a press conference with Sam Altman and Larry Ellison about the Stargate announcement. China RESPONDED over the weekend by releasing DeepSeek AI which has quickly become the top download in app stores. Tech stocks are crashing this morning because China has proven it is ahead of the U.S. in AI.
This seems to be the beginning of the AI Race with China like the Space Race with the USSR in the 1950s. Silicon Valley has fallen behind China in AI because it has spent the last decade replacing Americans with Indian H-1Bs and focusing on woke nonsense, censorship and deplatforming.
Suddenly, the tech bros are American patriots, and are wrapping themselves in the flag and running to MAGA and the government to save them from competition.
