The American exclusion of Chinese companies from high -tech microchips has, inadvertently, paved the way for the success of Chatbot Deepseek. This is worried about the US about their ability to fight China in the race of artificial intelligence.

Designed by a start-up in Hangtzu, the Chinese Chatbot surprised the world of high technology with its ability to compete with its American competitors and at a much lower cost.

Its spectacular success has become possible despite the American embargo that excludes Chinese companies access to cutting -edge chips which are essential for the development of mass education models for artificial intelligence.

The embargo pushed into inventive, innovative solutions

The founder of Deepseek, Liang Wenfed, admitted that the high -tech embargo “was a major obstacle”.

Or is it the opposite?

These restrictions aim to maintain American technological domination. But they pushed the Deepseek team to imagine inventive solutions to bypass them, analysts note.

Chinese start-up says it used a lower-performance H800 chip, the export of which was allowed to China by the end of 2023.

‘Restrictions imposed on China forced Deepseek team to draw more effective modelswhich are still competitive, but at lower training costs, “says Jeffrey Ding of George Washington University. US restrictions fail to prevent other countries from capturing royal models and ‘the story has proven to beimpossible to limit a technology such as artificial intelligence.

Deepseek is not the first Chinese company to have innovated. Huawei technological giant, a smartphone manufacturer and target of US sanctions, has, for example, manages to reorganize its activities.

But this is the first time that such a panic wind has been blowing in Silicon Valley and Washington.

High -tech investor in the field of high -tech, Mark Antripen described Deepseek’s frivolous entrance as a “episode of spoutnik of artificial intelligence”, referring to the launch of the first artificial satellite from the Soviet Union in 1957, which had caused a shock to Wass.

With giants such as Openai and Meta, there were many who thought that American sovereignty in the field of artificial intelligence was unquestionable.

China may have made ambition to become a world leader in artificial intelligence by 2030, but until yesterday Chinese achievements had not raised any concern in the United States.

When the Chinese colossus Baidu, who wants to compete with Chatgpt, has launched his own chatbot, the Ernie Bot, his frustrating performance has reinforced the US belief that the strict Chinese regulatory framework would have drowned innovation.

And then Deepseek came!

“The fact calls into question the theorem that many had adopted for computing power and management of the necessary data on cutting -edge technology,” says Samm Sacks, a member of the American Think Tank Paul Tsai China Center.

“The question is whether we can access an artificial cutting -edge with a fraction of cost and a fraction of computational power we considered necessary?”

The American AI strategy is “the channels of more and more computational power and performance to achieve higher yields,” notes Jeffrey Ding of George Washington University.

This is the guideline of “Stargate”, the plan presented by Donald Trump, which includes Openai and the Japanese Colossus Softbank and provides for investments of $ 500 billion in artificial intelligence infrastructure in the United States.

However, the success of Deepseek’s Chatbot R1, whose creators declare that Its growth cost only $ 5.6 millionshows that peak innovation can be less expensive.

However, some experts in the sector appear cautious, considering the possibility of the actual cost of the project being greater than that announced by the Chinese start-up.

Donald Trump said Deepseek is a “warning” for US companies.

Does the shock wave created by Deepseek is challenging the American embargo?

“No,” replies Mark Kennedy, director of the Wahba Institute for strategic competition at Think Tank Wilson Center.

The US government could now “broaden the restrictions on AI microchips” and enhance the supervision of technologies that Chinese companies have access to, he says.

“Data the boundaries of defense measures, could also increase investment in the US artificial intelligence, strengthen alliances and specialize policies to ensure maintenance of US leadership without pushing more countries to the Chinese ecosystem. “

“In the US, the fear of lag against China could be the catalyst for this dynamic,” says Rebecca Arcesati, analyst at the Merics Institute, a Think Tank on China.
