After President Donald Trump returned to the White House and pledged procrypto regulations, U.S.based banks sought to increase their involvement in cryptocurrencies.

DeepSeek, a Chinese startup, has introduced DeepSeek R1, an advanced AI model that has drawn interest as a rival to OpenAIs ChatGPT. Developed for reasoningintensive activities like coding and mathematics, this model promises to match or surpass some OpenAI models at a reduced cost. Because DeepSeek R1 prioritises efficiency and reduces memory usage and processing demands, researchers and developers can use it. Smaller laptop versions are also available. DeepSeek used presanctioned Nvidia A100 chips and less potent substitutes to defy US semiconductor export restrictions. In the tech world, the launch has generated conflicting responses. While some have praised the advancements in opensource development, others have voiced concerns about the companys strategies and geopolitical ramifications. Read More..
