DeepSeek just shook up the artificial intelligence (AI) world in the biggest way since OpenAI launched ChatGPT in late 2022. The Chinese company's new R1 large language model (LLM) reportedly matches or beats OpenAI's o1 model on some benchmarks.

While the demand is there, it's clear that's not the sole reason why Nvidia's RTX 50 series is impossible to find in stores. Many retailers received fairly low stock quantities, as Nvidia reportedly experienced manufacturing issues.

Nvidia called DeepSeek’s R1 model “an excellent AI advancement,” despite the Chinese startup’s emergence causing the chipmaker’s stock price to plunge 17%.

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) made stock market history on Monday, Jan. 27, but not the good kind. The chipmaker saw its share price decline 17%, due to concerns about an artificial intelligence (AI) model from Chinese start-up DeepSeek.

Despite the negative financial impact, Nvidia praised DeepSeek’s breakthrough. “DeepSeek is an excellent A.I. advancement and a perfect example of test time scaling,” a company spokesperson told Observer in a statement.

Development on the first DeepSeek R1 clone might have started with the announcement of the Open-R1 open-source project.

DeepSeek R1 is available as an Nvidia Inference Microservice (NIM) preview on the company’s website, Nvidia said in a statement. NIM is a service that allows developers to deploy and use AI programs on their personal systems while using remote Nvidia hardware.

DeepSeek R1 model was trained on NVIDIA H800 AI GPUs, while inferencing was done on Chinese made chips from Huawei, the new 910C AI chip.

Analyst Brandon Lee has kept his "buy" calls on Keppel DC REIT, MINT and Digital Core REIT; he sees their unit price weaknesses as a "good buying opportunity".
