The big story
This week, on the CNBC laptop, you have played a powerful artificial intelligence model known as Deepseek-R1.
The new model, which was developed by the Chinese Ai Deepseek and issued a tremendous decrease in US technology shares. The highly competitive artificial intelligence model, which is likely to be costly, led to the interrogation of billions of dollars currently spent by large technology companies.
While the invasion of my summary in Deepseeek-R1 only served to satisfy my curiosity, millions of other people around the world have done the same thing with more productive goals.

Indian technology companies are likely to be among those who are trying with Deepseek, which will be able for the first time to provide customers with a strong AI model, trainees and hosting the company, without relying on large technology companies.
Chinese Deepseek released its free model for commercial use and also Technology has published on publicity To build such a model of scratch. The company said it had spent only 6 million dollars in the costs of artificial intelligence chip to develop the model.
Although some have them Questions about the exact number raisedIt compares hundreds of millions – sometimes billions of dollars – spent by American technology companies.
Development can be the beginning of the development of the artificial intelligence model within India, as previous methods of training large language models require thousands of intense artificial intelligence chips in the energy field and costly.
It can also represent a major turning point for Indian technology companies like InfosysWhich had previously been forced to rely on artificial intelligence models created by the US -based technology companies, such as Deadinvitation.
Keshav Murugash, CEO of Commercial Operations Management Company WNS“Axis” is a pivotal “to Indian technology companies,” said Deepsek's Ai Model.
He suggested that the low cost of development will enable the training of new artificial intelligence models on regional languages in India and the enabled cases of use previously considered immunary. The vast majority of advanced language models today, such as Openai's O1 and Claud Sonnet 3.5, can only remove the text in a handful of languages.
“By taking advantage of the innovations behind Deepseek, these companies can significantly reduce costs and accelerate their time for marketing,” Morojish told CNBC. WNS,, Which was included on the New York Stock Exchange, which was revealed in its call in the third quarter of this month, that it will enable cases of artificial intelligence in an insurance company in the United States, the 10 best customers of the company.
Industry polls have shown that the privacy of data and the high cost of implementing large language models is among the reasons why institutions have resisted the adoption of artificial intelligence. Deepsek-R1 benefits, if confirmed, will quickly eliminate two of the 10 most important interests and can start treating many others.
The Indian government has also begun to support access to artificial intelligence chips, known as graphics processing units, to enable academics and startups in the country to start developing artificial intelligence models.
Indian IT service companies can benefit from Deekseek in more indirect ways. Analysts from large companies' customers of IT companies expect budgets to redirects away from artificial intelligence expenses to other information technology spending.
“Dibsic is positive for Indian information technology services, from our point of view,” said UBS arrows, led by Shalin Kumar. “Although it is still very early to evaluate the effect completely, the development of the fastest artificial intelligence that includes the costs of a decrease should help editing the IT budgets, which increases the spending of information technology in other regions.”
Not all of them are good news. Analysty -based intermediary analysts, Anand Rati, says that local companies with “severe exposure” to cloud computing are such as Microsoftand Amazonand Google and Oracle “The opposite winds in the short term may face,” as NIMBLER companies outperform them by converting to Deepseek models of low -cost artificial intelligence.
Bank of America analysts also warned that a lower barrier in front of service providers increases competition in the sector, although these risks are in “very primary stages” at the present time.
Thus – in this globalized and connected world – a boom in China has the ability to benefit from the competition of India. However, Deepseek's R1 has the ability to switch into a double -border sword much closer to what a lot expects.
AT & TA large American telecom operator with more than 150 million subscribers cut the number of customer support calls to 30 % in one year, thanks to artificial intelligence. The company also made efficiency gains in software development.
“We are spending less at the present time to develop an internal new code and get more,” said John Stanke, CEO of AT & T in a call with analysts. “By applying artificial intelligence and technology and what we can do with obstetric intelligence.”
Although it is expensive to implement the use of artificial intelligence models developed in the United States, it is cheaper compared to high American wages.
Looking at growth Fears about unemploymentThe Indian government will hope that the cheaper artificial intelligence models will not end with low -cost jobs.
