Why market panic over China's DeepSeek is 'overblown,' analysts say
Published On Jan 27, 2025, 4:30 PM
The market reaction to China’s AI startup DeepSeek has been described as excessive by analysts. Concerns were raised due to fears of a cheaper version of large language models that could threaten US AI dominance, leading to a significant sell-off in tech stocks, particularly Nvidia, which saw a 16.9% drop. However, analysts believe that this panic is unfounded, arguing that increased efficiency in computing could actually boost the utilization of AI technologies, contrary to the belief that it could threaten established companies. They highlight positive long-term implications for productivity as AI systems become more accessible and efficient.
