00:00Imagine waking up to find $1 trillion wiped from the U.S. stock market overnight,
00:05all thanks to one Chinese startup.
00:07Meet DeepSeek, the AI company that's shaking up Silicon Valley
00:11and rewriting the rules of artificial intelligence.
00:15In January 2025, DeepSeek launched its AI assistant,
00:19said to perform just as well as ChatGPT, but at a fraction of the cost.
00:24While OpenAI and others pour billions into developing their models,
00:28DeepSeek's latest breakthrough reportedly cost only $6 million to build.
00:33Within days, DeepSeek's AI became the most downloaded app on the Apple Store,
00:37beating even its Western rivals.
00:40Founded in 2023 by Liang Wenfeng, DeepSeek operates independently,
00:45funded entirely by an AI-driven hedge fund.
00:48Their secret?
00:49A team of young, talented engineers and a focus on open-source innovation.
00:54But there's a catch.
00:56After DeepSeek's launch, global investors dumped U.S. tech stocks,
01:00questioning whether Western dominance in AI is truly secure.
01:04Some are calling this AI's Sputnik moment, a pivotal shift in the global tech race.
01:09And with DeepSeek making AI more accessible and affordable, the game has changed.
01:14So, is DeepSeek just another startup?
01:16Or the start of a new era in artificial intelligence?
