Allaying DeepSeek fears

Earnings by the big tech have further helped ease out the fears doing rounds about DeepSeek’s new AI model leading towards a sharp decline in demand for Nvidia’s chips, Barron's reported.

Earlier this week, Google’s parent company, Alphabet, announced its commitment to $75 billion worth of capital spending this year.

Besides this, Nvidia even got a major shoutout from Amazon's Andy Jassy. On a call with analysts after the company's fourth-quarter earnings, Jassy stated that most AI computers have been "driven by Nvidia chips, and we obviously have a deep partnership with Nvidia and will for as long as we can see into the future”.

Amazon earlier informed that its capital expenditures this year are expected to be around $105 billion, majorly driven by its AI data center buildout.

This will be a 25% jump from 2024, which itself witnessed a 57% high compared with the previous year.

In a research note, J.P. Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth stated that in light of DeepSeek, the Amazon CEO believes the "cost of inference will substantially come down over time."

"However, similar to cloud, where Amazon Web Services cut prices 134 times between 2006-2023, Amazon believes lower inference costs will increase customers’ total spending as customers infuse applications w/inference & GenAI,” Anmuth added.
