The Chinese analogue of Chatgpt - an assistant with artificial intelligence (AI) from a little -known startup Deepseek - led to chaos in US technological markets. So, against the backdrop of the success of the Chinese project, the shares of US technological companies on January 27 fell sharply for the first time in the last years.
According to CNN, at a high -door session, the cost of shares of NVIDIA, a leading world manufacturer of powerful graphic processors for AI technologies, whose income increased more than half in each of the last two years, fell by 12%. Meta and Alphabet (Google) also sank (-4%), like Marvell, Broadcom, Palantir, Oracle and other American technohigans. European companies ASML and Tokyo Electron also suffered losses.
Technological actions make up a significant part of the US stock market. Accordingly, the fall of prices for them caused the domino effect: S\u0026P 500 futures at the time of opening markets in the United States fell 2.4%, the NASDAQ technological index was opened 4.2% lower, and Dow Jones - 0.9% lower.
Interestingly, literally last week, against the backdrop of the inauguration of Donald Trump, the S\u0026P 500 index showed the best result since 1985. However, the success of the Chinese Deepseek surpassed the influence of other factors.
Analysts believe that the appearance of Deepseek made investors doubt the US leadership in the AI \u200b\u200bmarket. In addition, the expediency of the huge costs of American models of AI was in question.
The fact is that, according to the creators, less than $ 6 million and about 2 months were spent on DeepSeek-V3 development and training. This is very little compared to hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars that spend on their technologies of the company from the USA.
