The narrative on Monday was that the eye-watering sums spent on AI capex by mega-cap tech companies could be somewhat obsolete if a cheaper solution exists,
If you could do it cheaper, if you could do it (for) less (and) get to the same end result, I think that’s a good thing for us,
DeepSeek now seems to show that we can do more with existing computing power than previously thought. The market, therefore, needs to price in a slower adoption rate of high-performance computing and revenues of companies selling AI models.”
Jevons paradox strikes again! As AI gets more efficient and accessible, we will see its use skyrocket, turning it into a commodity we just can’t get enough of.”
Pricing has got to levels which are high at the same time as there’s an interest rate risk, and that combination could prick the bubble,
By achieving cutting-edge results with fewer resources, DeepSeek highlights the potential of efficient innovation over sheer scale, marking a turning point in the AI race,
In our view, DeepSeek most likely drives further demand for data centers globally with advanced computational capabilities, high capacity storage, robust networking, energy efficient designs and infrastructure,
The sudden, adverse market reaction to DeepSeek indicates that some of the key assumptions that have been driving the AI trade, and hence major indices, are getting reassessed today,
But this is certainly a wake-up call that we are not the only game in town. To put these very high valuations in the stocks thinking they have cornered the market is a huge mistake and that is being re-rated,

The focus is now on whether China can do it better, quicker and more cost effectively than the US, and if they could win the AI race,
I think financials to me represent a pretty good fundamental case of change this year because we have a new administration, a Fed that is dovish, yields that aren't painful for banks — and a time when it could lead to upside for capital markets activity, and multiples are low,

Even if the Trump administration 2.0 doesn't get to 15% corporate tax rates, at 18% it adds 4% to S & P earnings,
Volatility is what the gamblers in single-stock ETFs are looking for,
Innovation and competition emerging in something as early-stage and dynamic as AI is not that surprising,
I want to build this, and it will be a game change'
