Isn’t Deepseek’s advantage that they didn’t actually start from scratch and that embeddings & training was already supplied? To say that Deepseek is comparable in performance to OpenAI is like saying Kirkland brands is comparable to {insert non white labeled good here}- they’re created off the same inputs. To say that Deepseek is a threat to AI supremacy is hyperbolic. As long as OpenAI innovates at the rate that it’s been innovating, their value is undeniable. Sure, Deepseek may tick after OpenAI’s tock, but the premium is in that tock.

This take discounts the implications of the fact that the efficiency and cost of Deepseek's product are orders of magnitudes better, plus the project is open source. Those facts fundamentally shift the business conditions for LLMs.
