Excited about DeepSeek and the market shake-up it’s causing. If it delivers in real-world scenarios as well as it does in benchmarks, this could be a monumental win for open-source AI.

The fact that it trained on less expensive hardware is the cherry on top. It’s a reminder of what happens when arbitrary barriers (eg the nvidia export restrictions) are placed in front of smart, driven people: they will smash through them.

Open source and open international trade drive innovation, improve the world, and make everyone better off. Only hope those protectionists in the Trump administration can see this.
