In China, it was reminiscent of Winston Churchill, a global technical competition with the United States and the “darkest time” of Silicon Valley. It was a breakthrough that would probably change the country's destiny.
The news that China's startup DeepSeek could build as well as Openai, tank the stock market on Monday and panicked Silicon Valley.
DeepSeek's success was considered a shot in China for the masses suffering from the discouraged technical industry and the stagnant economy. In social media posts and state news organizations, Deepseek is not only evidence of the innovative country's abilities, especially if the United States, which restricts access to the most advanced technology in China, is working hard.
“China -like countries with substantial technical resources cannot truly suppress,” said Hu Xijin, an editor retired by the Communist Party's Tabloid Global Times. “US sanctions in one region only promote more comprehensive, resilient progress in China, which can lead to a breakthrough that exceeds the United States.”
He wrote about the US semiconductor policy for China, “it could ultimately backfire in the United States.”
On Monday evening, four of the 10 most popular topics in social media platforms were related to DeepSeek.
“DeepSeek, please maintain momentum!”
“The country has to protect the founder of DeepSeek at all sacrifice! Seriously!” Usually posted another user in Shanghai, who posted about Entertainment News.
Even the hashtags about Liang Wenfeng, the highest executive officer of DeepSeek, visited his hometown in southern Guangdong Province for the New Year of the month, which fell on Wednesday, and it was a hot topic on Weibo. There were more than 50 million views.
Many of the pouring of caution emphasized the competition of technology in the United States and China.
The assumption that the United States will lead the next waves of the technical revolution is now open to challenge, and electronic business investor Lee Chendon wrote on his WeChat timeline.
There was a post that Wechat's business blog, FANCAIJU, said that DeepSeek has defeated the US stock bubble once.
Fankaiju posted DEEPSEEK's breakthrough that Trump has changed $ 100 billion AI initiatives, known as a Star gate last week at the Hoshima Cemetery.
Comments are immeasurable that DeepSeek is in stock that talented Chinese technicians have been educated in China.
Tom Chan, a personnel expert who worked for several major high -tech companies in Silicon Valley, said that Deep Shek had dispelled the talents of American AI and the superiority of companies, such as open. “Homemade PhD Group TSINGHUA and PEKING UNIVERSITY graduates are better than Stanford and MIT counter parts,” he wrote on the WeChat timeline.
Entrepreneurs and investors have stated that DeepSeek has demonstrated that the Chinese AI sector has an innovation advantage. They also believe that the US government's export restrictions on special chips from NVIDIA, a major Silicon Valley, have been forced to make Chinese companies more efficient.
The Chinese people said that Washington was not intended, but that happened.
DeepSeek has trained AI chatbots with 2,000 specialized NVIDIA chips, compared to 16,000 chips used by major American counter parts. In addition, not only Chinese companies that provide engineering efficiency: 81.ai is a startup established by Beijing Investor and entrepreneur Kaifu Lee, AI model with about $ 3 million computing power. Was trained. $ 100 million Openai was tapped from $ 80.
“In my book AI superpower, I predicted that the United States would lead a break -through, but China would be faster in China.” I wrote it. “I feel that I have been proven in the recent release of DeepSeek.”
One of the most popular articles on the Internet in China was two interviews, Rian, a hidden high -tech blog.
In the interview, Liang, who established a quantitative stock trading company called HIGH-FLYER after acquiring a master's degree of artificial intelligence, encountered an idealist and optimistic geek billionaire. He said he wanted to explore the limits of AI, so he began as a side project in 2023 as DeepSeek.
Lian said that innovation was mostly a matter of belief.
“Why is Silicon Valley so innovative? It starts by trying boldly,” he said. Lian pointed out that when Openai's Chatgpt came out, China was suffering from lack of confidence to pursue such innovation. “I felt that the gap was too wide, from investors to major high -tech companies,” he said.
He said that as the Chinese economy developed, China should gradually become a contributor to technological innovation, not followers.
He said that China's economic deceleration is not always bad because the founder of the company could be forced so that it could not be driven much by economic success.
“When many people realize that earning quick money in the past is likely to be due to the luck of the times,” Lian said.
Liang said on his blog that he hired most young graduates and graduate students who had little experience in work. All team members who worked on the AI model released last spring said they had graduated from Chinese universities.
“The top 50 talents are currently not in China, but perhaps we can grow such talents themselves,” he said. Social media people portrayed DeepSeek employees as geniuses, posted their names, and quoted educational backgrounds and academic papers.
Born in 1985, Lian did not attract much attention until he joined a businessmen and a group to talks last week with the Chinese Prime Minister, Li Qiang.
The meeting was a sign that Lian had raised it to the top, which could be a troublesome position, said a technology executive. The relationship between Chinese entrepreneurs and the government has been difficult after the crackdown on high -techescets in recent years. The government wants companies to support China to reduce the dependence on the United States. But it is also wary of the influence of the company. The crackdown crushed the Chinese Internet promises.
Hong Kong investors have told me that even if DeepSeek's breakthrough, as long as the Chinese leader Xi Jinping is in charge, will not invest in Chinese Internet stocks. XI is known for disgusting internet sector.
Executives hope that the government will refrain from obstructing DeepSeek.
“This is common in this government,” said the entrepreneur Zhang Fuyu, as follows. Later, DeepSeek's future outlook could be completely suppressed. “
Under government regulations, censorship rules are imposed on AI models that provide services to consumers. Many DeepSeek users have posted photos and videos of chatbot censorship, including Xi Jinping, The War in Cultural Revolution, The Tiananmen Square Massacre.
“If Deepseek claims, if it is shocking enough to shake the US stock market, it remains limited to an AI model with Chinese socialist characteristics,” he says. The journalist was written on the thread account. It is really tragic. “
