Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeekâs latest AI model sparked a $1 trillion rout in US and European technology stocks, as investors questioned bloated valuations for some of Americaâs biggest companies.
DeepSeekâs latest AI model rose to the top of the Appleâs appstore charts over the weekend, presenting a visible challenge to costlier models like OpenAI and raising questions over the hundreds of billions in planned spending on the technology by the likes of Microsoft Corp., Meta Technologies Inc. and Alphabet Inc.
It also put a spotlight AI chip producer Nvidia Corp., whose shares soared ninefold in the past two years, making it the highest-valued company in the world. The Santa Clara, California-based firm slid more 10% in premarket trading Monday â a drop that would zap about $340 billion in market value if it were to hold in the cash session.
Nasdaq 100 futures tumbled as much as 5.2% in overnight trading before paring the loss to 3.9% as of 7:30 a.m. in New York. That marked the biggest intraday drop for the contracts since August. In Europe, tech stocks led market losses, with shares of chip equipment maker ASML Holding NV down as much as 12%. The Cboe Volatility Index, known as the VIX, surged to 21.5. The Nasdaq 100 and Europeâs Stoxx 600 technology sub-index were together set for a market capitalization wipeout of $1.2 trillion, if the losses hold.

SoftBank is in talks to invest between $15 billion and $25 billion in the ChatGPT maker as part of a blockbuster $40 billion funding round, valuing OpenAI at up to $300 billion.
In other advancements, On Friday, Governor Phil Murphy and Princeton University President Micros released a statement announcing that Microsoft and CoreWeave, the cloud infrastructure company, are joining as founding partners of the NJ AI Hub. Jointly, the partners and the state of New Jersey are expected to invest over $72M.

Researchers at Stanford have discovered a revolutionary new way to mine bitcoin: âIt is essential to empower real peopleâ
Posted in bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, energy, finance | Leave a Comment on Researchers at Stanford have discovered a revolutionary new way to mine bitcoin: âIt is essential to empower real peopleâ
A team of researchers from Stanford University has found a unique way to mine bitcoin that could have a massive impact on the perceptions of the cryptocurrency.
According to its website, Pi Network was designed in part to make the process of mining bitcoin significantly less energy-intensive.
Cryptocurrency mining is a controversial practice in part because it remains largely unregulated. It uses massive amounts of power that frequently comes from dirty energy sources such as gas and coal as well as massive amounts of water to help keep its server banks cool and functional.
