DeepSeek击沉“星际之门”?

Did DeepSeek sink the "Stargate"?

wallstreetcn ·  Jan 28 07:28

Investors have always been cautious about AI companies claiming the need for massive funding to train models, especially in the absence of short-term profit plans. The sudden rise of DeepSeek seems to confirm this concern, as overnight NVIDIA lost nearly 600 billion dollars in Market Cap, exceeding the total budget of 'Stargate'.

With DeepSeek's explosive growth, concerns about the overvaluation of the AI Industry have rapidly intensified, resulting in heavy losses for Technology Stocks, which cast a cold shadow over 'Stargate'.

Overnight, NVIDIA lost nearly 600 billion dollars in Market Cap, surpassing the total budget of 'Stargate'.

'Stargate' is an AI infrastructure plan announced shortly after Trump took office, developed in collaboration with companies like OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle, aiming to raise 500 billion dollars over the next four years to build ultra-large-scale Datacenters. However, the rise of DeepSeek casts a shadow over this ambitious plan, especially as DeepSeek claims its AI model's performance is comparable to that of OpenAI, but its development costs are only a tiny fraction of the latter, raising doubts among investors about the reasonableness of hefty investments in AI companies.

In fact, investors have always been cautious about AI companies claiming the need for massive funding to train models, especially in the absence of short-term profit plans. The sudden rise of DeepSeek seems to confirm this concern, which has led Wall Street to begin selling off AI-related Stocks. Some Analysts pointed out:

"If DeepSeek can survive with a smaller Datacenter, then large Technology companies may have overspent on the Electrical Utilities for their AI plans."

Some Analysts have claimed that DeepSeek's rise could be an extinction-level event for venture capital firms fully committed to foundational model companies.

It is worth noting that SoftBank, involved in this project, promised to invest 50 billion dollars in the USA eight years ago, creating 0.05 million jobs, but a significant portion of that funding went into WeWork, which eventually filed for bankruptcy. This time, SoftBank has made a renewed commitment to invest 100 billion dollars, and analysts believe that this time investors may demand more explanations.
