The creators of Deep Seek claim to have developed an AI model using a surprisingly modest budget of $6 million and a limited amount of Nvidia GPUs.

However, there is a significant concern regarding the plausibility of this "underdog" success story.
Discussions with financial analysts evoke memories of past Chinese tech developments that have attracted attention but ultimately failed to deliver genuine innovation. Instances like the now-defunct straddling bus and the overhyped Han Microchip Scandal illustrate a pattern of inflated claims rooted in deception.
