The company claims that it will build the world's first nuclear fusion power plant by 2028 and has already secured a purchase agreement from Microsoft which is a major investor in Mr Altman's OpenAI.

Meta, Nvidia, and other tech giants react to DeepSeek's competitive, cost-efficient models that challenge established market players.

Altman and Musk were OpenAI’s founding co-chairs in 2015, but their relationship has devolved into name-calling and lawsuits.

Helion’s nuclear fusion promises have garnered the attention of Silicon Valley—and raised concerns amongst scientists wary of its aggressive timeline.

There's a new entrant in the Artificial Intelligence chatbot market from China. It is competing with giants like OpenAI, Gemini, ClaudeAI, etc. disrupting the American hegemony in AI-based generative chatbot models.

DeepSeek is thus challenging entrenched assumptions about the AI industry, and shaking up the "Big Tech" world.
