What’s with all the pessimism? Reports and whispers from industry experts suggest that there will be significant shortages of the RTX 5090, particularly so.

Yann LeCun, head of AI at Meta, believes that the widespread success and adoption of DeepSeek AI is largely due to its open-source design. In other words, he thinks that open-source models tend to outperform proprietary ones. He emphasized the value of open-source models and suggested that DeepSeek could help revive the original mission of OpenAI, which was focused on promoting open-source AI development.
