I don’t see how that’s relevant, Deepseek was trained on, and is served on, Nvidia hardware.

And while I don’t disagree about AMD gouging, if AMD was to act like “scum,” they would screw over Nvidia’s pricing strategy.

But… they don’t. And lose for it.

It’s some combination of ignorance, corporate stupidity and straight up collusion, but it’s also the opposite of greed.

DeepSeek is just a recent example to the usual Microsoft or Google or Apple aka Nvidia-AMD and now at most Intel. This is not about which GPU can run what.

Deepseek is like an ant compared to OpenAI/Anthropic/Google, and they come from a completely different world, the actually competitive open LLM dev scene with dozens of companies publishing good models. I think this is a bad analogy, as AMD is not that small and new compared to Nvidia.

“They come from a completely different world.”

This is what I meant to say, not whether they’re good or bad. In this case, someone else to beat Nvidia then expecting either AMD or Intel (existing players) or even Apple (again, I am aware they don’t sell dedicated GPUs) to break the competition.
