Meta has been aware of DeepSeek for a long time (as Zuckerberg mentioned the company by name in his podcast with Joe Rogan) and a “war room” is just a meeting room.
My experience is that a "War Room" is just a meeting room, but one where 1. engineers are rounded up to work in (because as we all know, developers type code faster when co-located in a single room under pressure), and 2. where panicked executives occasionally wander in to say things like "How are things going?" and "What's the current status?" and "Do you have an ETA for when we can stop panicking?"
