BATH, UNITED KINGDOM – JANUARY 27: In this photo illustration a smartphone screen displays the logo for the app for Chinese AI company DeepSeek in front of the Nvidia website on January 27, 2025 in Bath, England. DeepSeek’s free assistant chatbot emergence has caused huge doubt among investors in the value of US Silicon Valley competitors stock such as Nvidia, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, and Alphabet which many have said have been over-valued of late. The losses, the biggest drop in US stock market history, were blamed on the Chinese AI chatbot’s use of lower-cost chips and that the free app uses less data at a fraction of the cost of its competitors language assistants.
