agreed but ASML has been chronically undervalued forever.

Have you priced in the extremely limited freedom to operate they have? There is an extreme systemic risk to being a monopoly in a strategic position. It's an extreme beneficial position to be in, until it isn't.

Would you mind expanding on what you mean by this? I'm struggling to follow. Thanks.

What has changed is the perception that people like OpenAI/MSFT would have an edge on the competition because of their huge datacenters full of NVDA hardware. That is no longer true. People now believe that you can build very capable AI applications for far less money. So the perception is that the big guys no longer have an edge. Tesla had already proven that to be wrong. Tesla's Hardware 3 is a 6 year old design, a…

I mean, I think they still do have an edge - ChatGPT is a great app and has strong consumer recognition already, very hard to displace.. and MSFT has a major installed base of enterprise customers who cannot readily switch cloud / productivity suite providers. So I guess they still have an edge it’s just nore of a traditional edge.

Yes, it is still a valid business model and I would expect MSFT to continue to make profits.

Well this is very bad for the private AI companies but Big Tech will be fine, especially Meta and Apple. Everyone else who over-leveraged into the private AI companies (Anthropic, OpenAI) are going to have their valuations under scrutiny.

Big Tech is full of grifter CEOs.

I will never forget HN's not-made-in-the-US bias https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42514633

I think part of the problem was many/most previous models coming out of China were trained on eval data to cheat in the rankings. Quite an uphill battle for Deepseek.

Nvidia -13% in Frankfurt stock market just now. Valuations of private unicorns like OpenAi and Anthropic must be in free fall. DeepSeek spends $6 million in old H800 hardware to develop open source model that overtakes ChatGPT. AI gets better, but profit margins sink with strong competition. Chinese AI startup DeepSeek overtakes ChatGPT on Apple App Store https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42839656 Edit: Nvidia now…

Taking out the popcorn early today.

Shouldn't this news be bullish long-term for them?

The $500 billion data center can now be $50 billion. That is excellent news, unless you were the company that was expected to sell $450 billion of GPUs with a 95% gross margin to that project.

It's a very strange result. I believe that NVIDIA is overvalued, but if DeepSeek really is as great as has been said, then it'll be even greater when scaled up to OpenAI sizes, and when you get more out you have more reason to pay, so this should if it pans out lead to more demand for GPUs-- basically Jevon's paradox.

The limit is high quality data, not compute.

> The limit is high quality data

If, as some companies claim, these models truly possess emergent reasoning, their ability to handle imperfect data should serve as a proof of that capability.
