(The Guardian) DeepSeek a 'wake-up call' for US tech, says Trump
Donald Trump has said the release of the DeepSeek AI model by a Chinese firm should be a “wake-up call” for the US tech industry.
DeepSeek, which was released last week, became the most downloaded app on Apple’s App Store on Monday, and appears to compete with the models of US leaders such as OpenAI while costing much less.
“I’ve been reading about China and some of the companies in China… coming up with a faster method of AI, and much less expensive method,” Trump told a meeting of House Republicans in Miami on Monday.
“If it’s true - and nobody really knows if it is - I view that as a positive. You won’t be spending as much and you’ll get the same result, hopefully.
He added that the app “should be a wake-up call for our industries that we need to be laser-focused on competing to win.” “Because we have the greatest scientists in the world. We always have the ideas. We’re always first. We’re going to unleash our tech companies and we’re going to dominate the future like never before,” he said.
