How DeepSeek’s disruption could finally burst the US stock bubble

DeepSeek's open-source AI program challenges the assumption that a few major US tech companies ("hyperscalers") will dominate the AI market and profit immensely. This Chinese company's move allows businesses to develop their own AI applications independently, potentially undermining the projected revenue streams of these hyperscalers and their dominance in the AI landscape.

The US stock market's high valuation, heavily influenced by tech stocks, relies on the belief that American AI companies will lead the world in AI development. This is based on the idea that the global economy will become dependent on AI, allowing the US to extract significant economic benefits. However, the effectiveness and potential of current AI models (LLMs) are debatable, and their impact on overall productivity remains uncertain, casting doubt on the long-term sustainability of these valuations.
