Trump Responds After DeepSeek Humiliates His Splashy AI Announcement
Briefly

President Trump is acknowledging the competitive threat posed by the Chinese startup DeepSeek, whose recently launched AI model, R1, rivals Western counterparts while being more cost-effective. Trump described DeepSeek's release as a wake-up call, pushing for a renewed focus on competitive edge within U.S. industries. The model, developed using older technology, has already shown to match or even exceed the capabilities of top rivals. This situation arises as the U.S. plans significant investments in its AI infrastructure, marking a pivotal moment in the ongoing tech rivalry between the U.S. and China.
Instead of spending billions and billions, you'll spend less and you'll come up with hopefully the same solution.
The release of DeepSeek AI should be a wake-up call for our industries that we need to be laser-focused on competing to win.
DeepSeek's open-source R1 model rivals the West's best at a fraction of the cost.
...the timing couldn't have been worse for Trump and his tech allies.
