Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. Today's episode is an emergency podcast on the phenomenon that's shaken the tech and investment worlds over the weekend—Deep Seek. What started as a quiet innovation has now rocketed to the top of the App Store, dethroning even giants like OpenAI and Gemini.
Our host, Tom Bilyeu, alongside producer Drew, dives deep into what Deep Seek is, why it's an absolute game-changer, and its staggering implications for AI, technology investments, and the future of market strategies. Is this the end of expensive training models, and has the focus firmly shifted towards reasoning and inference?
Tune in as we unpack why Deep Seek's launch could mark the worst possible time to be an average investor and what this means for the future of AI and global competition. If you haven't already, make sure to subscribe and be part of this critical conversation. Let's get started!
