🌎 DeepSeek hype vs. the hyperscalers #232
Chinese AI startup DeepSeek launched its R1 model, claiming it was far cheaper and more energy-efficient to train than US competitors. Costing just $6m to develop — compared to OpenAI’s reported $100m+, DeepSeek performed similarly to leading competitors while using only ~2,000 Nvidia H800 GPUs. This breakthrough raises more questions about future power demand from AI workloads, especially as data centers were projected to consume 650-1,050 TWh by 2026. The energy efficiency claims are being closely scrutinized as inference loads may offset training savings.
