😢 OpenAI, Stop Crying

🤯 The Impossible Has Just Been Done

We’ve always believed that it was impossible to find any success—especially in tech—without it costing tremendous amounts of money.

But DeepSeek’s arrival just broke that glass ceiling… Here is DeepSeek’s main competitor, you may know them!

🤖OpenAI/ChatGPT - Founded 10 years ago, has 4,500 employees, and raised $6.6 billion in capital to grow the software & company. Aside from this, they’re also the world’s most popular AI application.

Inertia is working in their favour.

But there’s a new sherry in town who has single-handedly destroyed investors’ confidence in the US tech scene…

🐳 DeepSeek - Founded 2 years ago, with 200 employees, and was developed for less than $10M!

They started humble, but are now disrupting the entire market.

Because since DeepSeek hit mainstream, they’ve wiped nearly $1 trillion in value from US stocks!

🔑 Key Take Away

Get inspired by this story. Because you can, just like DeepSeek, achieve a lot more with just the things you already possess.

It’s not about how much funding you get or how many employees are working for you. It’s about how you leverage what you already have to create something and make an impact on people’s lives.

Entrepreneurship is not about your resources but about your resourcefulness.

Reports have come out that OpenAI and their biggest investor, Microsoft are putting the Chinese startup under investigation for distillation. Basically saying that they’re using GPT’s model to train their own.

Which is a normal practice in the AI world.

But it’s against OpenAI’s policies to use their models to build a competitor.

Which is kinda hypocritical since their entire company is built on scraping everything on the internet… They (OpenAI) are even being sued by the New York Times because they believe it’s fair use to train their own models from available articles.

If you want to achieve uncommon success, you must be willing to embrace unconventional methods. The greatest disruptors in history weren’t the ones with the most resources—they were the ones who used what they had most effectively.

The game isn’t won by those with the most resources—it’s won by those who are the most resourceful.
