After DeepSeek, Venture Capital Investors Face Questions About Their A.I. Bets
Published On Jan 29, 2025, 5:03 AM
The article discusses how the emergence of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI start-up, has disrupted the landscape of artificial intelligence by developing a powerful AI model with significantly less funding than competitors like OpenAI and Anthropic. This development raises questions about the huge investments made in AI start-ups over the last two years, suggesting that if a newer, less-funded competitor can achieve similar results, it undermines the justification for the large capital raises by established firms. Venture capitalists are feeling the pressure as they reassess their investments in AI technology.
