What does this mean for Big Tech?

For NVIDIA? It’s terrifying. Their business model-selling overpriced GPUs with 90% margins... just became obsolete.

For other companies, their team's compensation alone exceeds DeepSeek's training budget (and their models aren't even that…

Why is this revolutionary, then?
The results are mind-blowing:

Training costs slashed from: $100M → $5M

GPUs needed slashed from: 100K → 2K

API costs reduced by 95%

Runs on gaming GPUs

All with a team of <200 people (not thousands)

Hence it's 2x faster while maintaining a 90% accuracy. That's a game changer.

#1: Precision Reimagined (Less is More)

Traditional AI: Uses 32 decimal places.

DeepSeek: Proved 8 is enough.

Result: 75% less memory needed
