• DeepSeek: How a small Chinese start-up Shocked Silicon Valley and May Reshape Entirely AI Projects

  In this episode, Ricardo talks about DeepSeek, a groundbreaking AI application from a small Chinese startup.

This breakthrough could disrupt the AI industry, enabling smaller companies to develop advanced models without massive infrastructure. The news has already impacted major tech stocks, including Nvidia and Microsoft. If DeepSeek’s claims hold true, AI accessibility will skyrocket, reshaping project management and beyond. Ricardo urges listeners to explore DeepSeek and stay alert to its potential impact. Tune in to the podcast to learn more!
