DeepSeek is a Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) company that has recently garnered significant attention for its rapid advancements in AI technology. Founded in 2023 and backed by the High-Flyer hedge fund, DeepSeek focuses on developing open-source large language models (LLMs) and has committed to open-sourcing all of its models. (Wikipedia)
In January 2025, DeepSeek released its flagship AI model, R1, which has been compared to OpenAI's latest model, o1. R1 was developed in just two months at a cost of under $6 million, significantly less than the investments made by its Western counterparts. The model has demonstrated advanced reasoning capabilities and has become the top-rated free application on Apple's App Store in several countries, including the US, the UK, and China. (Business Insider)
DeepSeek's approach to AI development emphasizes cost-efficiency and accessibility. By making its models open-source, the company allows the global developer community to inspect, improve, and build upon its technology. This strategy challenges the prevailing notion that developing advanced AI models requires substantial financial and computational resources. (Yahoo Finance)
The emergence of DeepSeek has had immediate effects on the global tech industry. Shares of major US AI-related companies, including Nvidia, Meta, and Microsoft, experienced significant declines in response to DeepSeek's success. Analysts have warned that the rise of low-cost Chinese alternatives to established US AI models could disrupt the investment landscape, forcing companies to reconsider their AI strategies. (The Economic Times)
However, DeepSeek's models have faced criticism for embedded censorship to comply with Chinese regulations, particularly concerning politically sensitive topics. This has raised concerns about data privacy and the potential for disinformation. (Wikipedia)
In summary, DeepSeek's rapid development and deployment of cost-effective, open-source AI models are challenging existing paradigms in the AI industry, prompting both excitement and concern within the global tech community.

Peter Thiel is a kingmaker in the shadows
— Jonathan Swanson (@swaaanson) January 27, 2025
He backed Trump in 2016 and now 7 of his ex-colleagues(JD Vance, David Sacks, Elon, Vivek) are running the US government
Once you understand how Thiel spots winners before anyone else, you'll build influential networks like no other🧵 pic.twitter.com/DUvF3k3I3h
Peter Thiel today is at the center of all talent in Trump's cabinet.
— Jonathan Swanson (@swaaanson) January 27, 2025
He has quietly built a Peter Thiel Cinematic Universe.
The kind of power that could transform the US government and Silicon Valley.
But how did Peter Thiel orchestrate this? pic.twitter.com/UVEbZN4UXG
Thiel values substance over status.
— Jonathan Swanson (@swaaanson) January 27, 2025
Status and prestige are zero-sum games.
In a world where real value can be created, substance and true knowers are the people to look for.
To assess winners before anyone else, he came up with 4 questions... pic.twitter.com/PBExFm2mSc
All of the greats have bet their company on a contrarian belief:

Jobs and Gates: Computers will sit on desks, not warehouses.
Elon: Self-driving and Electric is the future.
Jensen: GPUs are the future, not CPUs. pic.twitter.com/rV7syrO4Wn
Peter's decision to hire David Sacks at PayPal is the perfect example of this.

4. Do they have Zen-like opposites?
— Jonathan Swanson (@swaaanson) January 27, 2025
Exceptional people are living contradictions with a combination of unusual traits.
- Stubborn and open-minded
- Idiosyncratic yet work well in teams
Thiel calls this "The Founders Paradox" and I think it's his best idea. pic.twitter.com/3OS9c3275M
Thiel's ability to identify exceptional people by focusing on the right things helps him build extraordinary teams.
— Jonathan Swanson (@swaaanson) January 27, 2025
He creates the conditions that enable them to do their life's work.
And Peter does so by using a very peculiar system: pic.twitter.com/uP061BjITz
Most entrepreneurs can only aspire to be as good as Peter at recruiting and enforcing focus.
— Jonathan Swanson (@swaaanson) January 27, 2025
This stops them from operating at a high level of leverage.
While most founders operate at Level 2 or 3, Peter comfortably rests at 5. (maybe higher) pic.twitter.com/nmSs8Po0PA
