🚨 Goldman Asks If China's DeepSeek is AI's Sputnik Moment 🚨

You've heard of DeepSeek's R1. But have you heard of Bytedance's Doubao-1.5 or Moonshot's Kimi k1.5? The race to the price bottom is just starting and nobody does it like China. Still, we need to keep in mind that LLM commoditization was inevitable, but the Mag 7 are focused on the Artificial general intelligence (AGI) endgame -- building trust, infrastructure & ecosystems that China can’t match. It might just end up being noise - not a real game changer. Source. www.zerohedge.com, Goldman Sachs
