DeepSeek's pricing move could redistribute value across AI hardware market
What happened
Chinese AI startup DeepSeek slashed API prices for its flagship model by 75%, signaling a potential shift in AI infrastructure economics. Amazon AWS noted this move aims to change how AI infrastructure is built and sold rather than just a price war. This significant price reduction likely exerts downward pressure on demand for AI hardware.
