Just entering the first month of 2025, various surprises have occurred in the technology sector that is increasingly vibrant with global change and innovation.
Most recently, DeepSeek, ChatGPT's new rival, has caused a stir in the semiconductor industry, causing huge losses to many companies in just one night.
Nvidia, a major leader in the AI sector, was also hit when the company on Monday recorded a market value drop of almost $600 billion, making the figure the largest in US history.
Nvidia shares plunged 17%, ending its glory as the world's most valuable company.
The fall also had a major impact on other technology companies that rely on Nvidia GPUs, such as Oracle and Broadcom, causing the Nasdaq index to fall 3.1%.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang also lost $21 billion, making him 17th on the list of world billionaires.
The emergence of DeepSeek is seen as a major turning point in the global AI race, challenging the high-cost strategy practiced by American technology companies.
For now, Nvidia remains the dominant player in the AI sector, but the competition now needs to be fiercer and cheaper.
