The founder of Andundil, Palmer Luckey, gives his point of view on Deepseek and Drone Manufacturing on the countdown Claman.
President Donald Trump Artificial Intelligence (AI) The TSAR, David Sacks, points out that the startup of China in depth AI spent much more money to develop its models than that has been reported.
Deepseek sent the American tech The sector in troubles Monday after reporting that it had spent only $ 5.567 million to form its Deepseek-V3 IA model, which is allegedly competitive with certain AI models developed in the United States that cost billions of dollars.

“The new report of the leading analyst of semiconductors Dylan Patel shows that Deepseek spent more than $ 1 billion on his calculation cluster,” Sacks wrote on X Friday. “The largely reported number of $ 6 million is very misleading, because it excludes Capex and R&D, and best describes the cost of the final training only.”
The Deepseek Ai Chatbot broke out on the stage: are the fears exaggerated?
After revealing the figure of $ 5.5 million in his report, Deepseek added: “Note that the above-mentioned costs include the official training of Deepseek-V3, excluding costs associated with previous research and experiences ablation on architecture, algorithms or data. “
Earlier this week, the technology magnate Palmer Luckey criticized American media To largely report the figure of $ 5 million in Deepseek, accusing the press of having ignored that a significant part of the infrastructure costs of the Chinese IA company was still unknown.

“I think the problem is that they have published this number specifically to harm American businesses,” Luckey told Fox Business’ “this Clarman countdown”. “You have had a lot of useful idiots in the American media by simply pointing out that this is the case, and neither China nor the media or Deepseek have no incitement to correct the file because many American companies like Nvidia are crushed on the air of hundreds of billions of dollars.
The Deepseek model seems capable of corresponding to the capacity of chatbots as Openai chatgpt And the Meta lama but has a fraction of the cost of development. He also went to No. 1 on the Apple App Store this weekend and could use chips with reduced capacity of Nvidia.
These revelations criticized the American technological sector on Monday.

“There is a reason for which they have published the news in this way, and if the stock market is an indication, it does exactly what they hoped,” added Luckey. “So look: we can recognize that Chinese AI is a real competitive threat without losing your head on it and falling for CCP [Chinese Communist Party] propaganda.”
