NVIDIA -11%! Will DeepSeek Drag Computing Demand Down?

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ opened 11% down, with the market dubbing DeepSeek "the biggest threat to the US stock market."

What’s even more striking is the ultra-low cost of achieving such remarkable results, raising shareholder skepticism about the massive spending by other large models.

DeepSeek-V3 trained a 671 billion-parameter model using only 2,048 H800 GPUs, costing just $5.576 million—significantly lower than the training costs of other top-tier models (e.g., GPT-4 at $1 billion).

NVIDIA and other hardware manufacturers traditionally hold an advantage on the training side, but this development could potentially impact their market position and strategic direction. Some believe DeepSeek may disrupt NVIDIA’s dominance in the AI hardware space.

Will computing power demand increase or decrease?

DeepSeek’s significant impact on NVIDIA’s stock price comes from the implication that its low-cost model could shift the demand for computing power from the training side to the inference side. This means future demand for inference computing power might become the primary driver.

However, some analysts argue that the demand for computing power will not decrease.

For instance, during the First Industrial Revolution, improvements in steam engine efficiency actually led to higher total coal consumption. Similarly, smartphones became affordable and widespread, which drove an increase in total market consumption.

How do you view the impact of DeepSeek?

Is this a short-term or long-term bearish factor for NVIDIA?

At what price are you planning to buy the dip in NVIDIA?

    $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ drop following DeepSeek’s breakthrough has sparked concerns about a potential shift in AI computing demand. The key question is whether this is just a short-term market reaction or a fundamental challenge to NVIDIA’s long-term dominance.

    While DeepSeek’s ability to train a massive model at a fraction of the usual cost raises questions about GPU demand for training, I don’t believe overall computing power demand will decline. History has shown that greater efficiency often leads to more demand, not less—just like steam engines and smartphones.

    For NVIDIA, this could be more of a transition than a threat. AI computing is evolving, and inference workloads will still require powerful hardware. If anything, this disruption could accelerate innovation and create new growth opportunities.

    As for buying the dip, I’m watching key support levels. If NVIDIA reaches an attractive entry point, I’d consider adding to my position.

      The recent drop in NVIDIA Corp (NVDA) stock is attributed to the impact of DeepSeek's breakthrough and concerns about a potential shift in AI computing demand. DeepSeek's ability to train a massive model at a fraction of the usual cost has raised questions about GPU demand for training. However, it is important to consider whether this is just a short-term market reaction or a fundamental challenge to NVIDIA's long-term dominance.

      Some experts believe that the greater efficiency brought by DeepSeek and similar advancements may actually lead to increased overall computing power demand. Historical examples such as steam engines and smartphones have shown that greater efficiency often leads to more demand, not less. In this case, the transition in AI computing could present new growth opportunities for NVIDIA and accelerate innovation.

      To determine the impact of DeepSeek on NVIDIA, it is necessary to assess whether the demand for computing power will increase or decrease. While DeepSeek's low-cost model could potentially shift the demand for computing power from the training side to the inference side, there are differing opinions on the overall impact. Some argue that the demand for computing power will not decrease and that inference workloads will still require powerful hardware.

      As for buying the dip in NVIDIA, it is important to consider key support levels and an attractive entry point. The decision to buy should be based on thorough analysis and evaluation of the stock's future prospects.

    DeepSeek's arrival is a potential long-term challenge to $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$'s dominance in the AI chip market, but its short-term impact has primarily been a sentiment shift, creating a buying opportunity.  While the long-term effects depend on DeepSeek's scaling and Nvidia's response, the current dip could be a good entry point for long-term investors, particularly around the $116-$129 range.  However, increased competition, Nvidia's reaction, and the overall evolution of AI hardware are key factors to watch.

    Very big drop of 11% in the share price of $NVIDIA(NVDA)$. It is due to “DeepSeek” being the biggest threat to the US stock market now. DeepSeek’s significant impact on NVIDIA’s stock price comes from the implication that its low-cost model could shift the demand for computing power from the training side to the inference side. This means future demand for inference computing power might become the primary driver. But the demand for computing power will not decrease. So $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ is still good for long. It is now a good time to buy the dip in NVIDIA if it hits $120. Thanks @Tiger_comments @icycrystal

    this is a wake up call to all AI companies.  you better build your AI in China to be efficient.  if you build in USA, you will be spending 20 times more money to build an inferior product.   America's days of insane inefficiency are over.

    Tried today the response is very fast . But answers eg weather ask me to check local weather and their last uodate is at July 2024 . Think they will
    Eventually catch up but will need some time . China is really very efficient and dynamic as You can see when visiting the country

    i would say it is short-term bearish factor given deepseek is still largely untested in the long term and any movements will be more of knee jerk reactions from the market. i'll probably be looking to buy Nvidia if it falls to sub 120 price

    I think the impact of DeepSeek is very obvious and powerful, but I think this is just a short-term bearish factor for NVDIA, I will buy the dip for sure! I have a strong belief in NVDIA 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

    Tried DeepSeek and it can't tell me if the stock market is open this week. Ask me to check online for realtime data instead. Maybe it needs more computing power to process realtime data.

    no impact. just short term noise disturbing the system. short term bearish for nvda. but the dip when nvda hits 120 at 200 moving average or below

    Do not panic sell. Just need to be patient and resilient to market volatility.
