It is a an open source model that claims to have been trained for $5 million, while openai says they have spent 7 billion on research. So far it appears to run on par with chat gpt. This is causing investors to flock to competition to try creating the next one. Also, this causes investors to back off seeing a sudden bloom in cheap competition.

Deepseek is not open source, they just published their weights. If that's all it takes to earn trust, then people should also be fine using Meta's AI.
