While temporary capitulation might take a short while, a comprehensive rebalancing is imminent,
Shadid said of the recent events that took place around the crypto market since DeepSeek's crash-landing in the tech space Web3 AI innovators might find a way to align with Chinese tech in the mid to long term while hedging their alliance to get the best of both markets,
DeepSeek's cost efficiency is praiseworthy, but the privacy implications of its data collection would raise significant concerns,
said Saeed Rehman, senior lecturer in cybersecurity and networking at Flinders University It is interesting that this breakthrough was achieved not by government-backed research institutes and large (state-owned enterprises), but by a hedge fund with no government subsidies,
noted Zhiwei Zhang, president and chief economist at Pinpoint Asset Management This situation may evoke similar concerns to those raised for TikTok, where data privacy and security have been hotly debated,
The constraints on China's access to chips forced the DeepSeek team to train more efficient models that could still be competitive without huge compute training costs,
