China-based artificial intelligence company DeepSeek unveiled its new artificial intelligence model DeepSeek R1 yesterday. Yesterday, when the new AI robot was introduced, the shares of big tech companies like NVIDIA plummeted, while Apple started to increase its shares in the opposite direction.

Apple shares gained more than 3 percent

Yesterday, a Chinese wind blew through the US stock market thanks to DeekSeek. With DeepSeek’s acquisition of 50,000 GPUs despite NVIDIA embargoes, and with them a lower-cost, open-source and free artificial intelligence, the shares of many US-based technology companies, especially NVIDIA and Netflix, fell. However, shares of Apple, one of America’s largest technology companies, rose by 3.25 percent on the New York stock exchange.

DeepSeek, which is said to be more result-oriented and more accurate than ChatGPT, quickly became one of the most downloaded apps in the App Store. A technology editor named John Gruber says that Apple’s appreciation while other companies are losing value is due to the company’s policy of running multiple AIs. Apple uses its own AI servers as the foundation and ChatGPT servers as a backup. DeepSeek, on the other hand, runs almost as well as ChatGPT on a fairly ordinary computer system, suggesting that super-powerful resources may not be needed to run an AI model.

Analysts, citing DeekSeek as an example, say that Apple may soon introduce an AI model that runs natively on devices. If Apple launches an AI model that works on devices, it could increase users’ confidence in the security of their devices. At the moment, however, all this information is speculation. There is currently no full statement from any US technology company on the subject.
