🧩 Segment Breakdown & Links
1️⃣ The DeepSeek Disruption – What Happened?
🔹 DeepSeek is a Chinese AI company that trained a ChatGPT-4 level model for just $5.6 million—while OpenAI and Anthropic spend hundreds of millions.
🔹 Their strategy? Go open-source, build a community, and make AI cheaper.
🔹 The result? Mass panic in Big Tech & a 17% drop in Nvidia’s stock price.
