As a researcher in our field, I must acknowledge the impressive performance of DeepSeek’s R1 model, particularly considering its cost-effectiveness. While we strive to surpass their achievements, it’s exhilarating to witness a fresh competitor emerge. Let’s prepare for some upcoming releases!

I recently observed Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella discussing the surge in popularity of DeepSeek’s cost-effective AI technology. He drew an analogy with the Jevons paradox economic concept, stating, “Once more, we see the effects of the Jevons paradox!” In essence, he predicted that as AI becomes increasingly efficient and widely available, its use will exponentially increase, transforming it into a resource that seems indispensable to us.
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.
Although Meta’s chief AI scientist, Yann LeCun, believes that DeepSeek’s groundbreaking advancement in the AI field is strongly associated with the open-source design of its primary model, significant security issues are arising. In a recent announcement, DeepSeek has limited new user registrations because of widespread malicious attacks on their services, which they refer to as “large-scale cyberattacks”. Despite this, current users can still make use of the tool’s features without any disruptions.
The most significant modification in the update is a resolution for a bug that was making save files vanish on the Xbox edition of the game, causing numerous players to lose progress over several hours. For quite some time now, gamers have been reporting this problem, so it’s reassuring to know that it’s finally being tackled effectively. After you download the update, you won’t need to concern yourself with this issue if you’re playing on a Microsoft console.
On any given day, NVIDIA’s substantial loss could potentially break the record for the largest single-day market value loss ever experienced by a company. However, we won’t know for sure until the end of trading which records will be broken. As it stands now, NVIDIA currently holds the title for the most significant daily market loss, having shed approximately $279 billion in value on September 3, 2024.
