CEO Jensen Huang discussed the impact of Chinese startup DeepSeek’s new artificial intelligence model in a Wednesday interview with CNBC’s Jim Cramer at Nvidiamore computation than many in the industry thought.
According to Huang, DeepSeek’s R1 model is “fantastic” because it is “the first open-sourced reasoning model.” He explained that the model breaks down problems step-by-step, is able to come up with different answers, and it can verify whether its answer is correct.
“This reasoning AI consumes 100 times more compute than a non-reasoning AI,” he said. “It was exactly the opposite, it was the exact opposite conclusion that everybody had.”
In late January, DeepSeek’s model triggered a massive sell-off in AI stocks, as investors feared the model could perform as well as top competitors using less energy and money. Nvidia plummeted 17% in one session to lose close to $600 billion, the largest ever single day drop for a U.S. company.
Huang also spoke about some of what his company has revealed so far at its conference, including new AI infrastructure for robotics and for the enterprise, highlighting partnerships with companies like DellHPEAccentureServiceNowCrowdStrike
“So, our opportunity as a percentage of a trillion dollars by the end of this decade is, is quite large,” Huang said. “We’ve got a lot of infrastructure to build.”
