Investing in technology and specifically artificial intelligence (AI) also seemed to be front and center in the early days of the new administration.

President Trump signed an executive order to "make America the world capital in Artificial Intelligence." The order calls for agencies to craft policy to ensure U.S. dominance in AI. In addition, the new administration has proposed backing a private-sector investment of up to $500 billion to fund infrastructure for AI. The new venture, called Stargate, aims to build data centers – a huge need to support AI computing power – and potentially create up to 100,000 jobs. The investments in data centers and electricity are critical for the U.S. to maintain leadership and be a driver for AI technology and applications.

Interesting to see that DeepSeek is owned by a hedgefund …

Did they short nvidia before announcing the world - through a paper authored by their lab - that the DeepSeek-R1 model outperforms cutting-edge models such as OpenAI’s o1 and Meta’s Llama AI models across multiple benchmarks?
