Alright, fellas, welcome to this week’s edition of AI Daybreak, where we’re diving into some big moves in the AI world. From Trump’s face-off with Nvidia’s CEO to DeepSeek flexing its muscles and making waves, it’s clear the AI race is getting heated. Whether it’s policy battles, chip wars, or the rise of Chinese tech, the game’s changing fast. Stay tuned—we’re about to break down the chaos and what it all means for the future of AI.

DeepSeek’s AI Boom: Smart Tech or Just a Hype Train?

So DeepSeek just shot to the top of the App Store like a getaway car on nitro. Wall Street’s panicking, China’s flexing, and OpenAI? They’re probably stress-eating over at HQ. This AI upstart, backed by a hedge fund with deep pockets, is cranking out models that are cheaper, faster, and supposedly better than the big dogs’.

The secret sauce? Hiring young PhD brains, training models on bootleg Nvidia chips, and pricing everything like a Black Friday sale. Even Microsoft is getting cozy with them, while Meta and OpenAI scramble to figure out if this is a real threat or just hype.

But hold up—DeepSeek’s AI comes with some, let’s say, government-approved filters. No chat about Tiananmen or Taiwan, so if you’re looking for uncensored wisdom, keep moving. Still, with its models crashing stock prices and making Sam Altman react in public, DeepSeek isn’t just another AI startup—it’s a wildcard, and the AI game just got a lot more interesting.

o3-Mini vs. DeepSeek: The AI Battle for Big Brains

Alright, OpenAI just rolled out o3-mini, a new “reasoning” model that’s supposed to fact-check itself before it spits out answers—like a lawyer with a conscience. They say it’s cheaper, faster, and better at math and coding than the old o1 models. Sounds great, right? Except there’s always a catch.

China’s DeepSeek is breathing down OpenAI’s neck, allegedly lifting their tech like a car thief in Vice City. Meanwhile, OpenAI is juggling Washington politics, a giant data center, and a record-breaking funding round—because why focus on one problem when you can have five?

o3-mini’s big selling point? It thinks harder. You can even adjust its “reasoning effort” like a dimmer switch for intelligence. But here’s the kicker: even on max brainpower, it barely beats its rivals in some areas. Sure, it’s more “aligned” and “safe,” but let’s be real—AI safety measures are like mall cops against hackers.

At the end of the day, o3-mini is a solid step forward, but it ain’t taking the throne just yet. You want a genius AI? You’ll have to wait for o4—or maybe just pray to the silicon gods.

AI, China, and Chips: Trump’s Big Nvidia Meeting

Trump and Nvidia’s CEO are having a little pow-wow, and you know it’s not about swapping GPU stock tips. Jensen Huang’s got the golden AI chips, China’s getting too good at the game, and Trump’s deciding who gets to play. Biden tried locking things down, but Trump? He might crank it up even more. Meanwhile, DeepSeek’s out here proving you don’t need the best chips to make magic happen—bad news for Nvidia, worse news for Wall Street.

The Tommy Vee Take

And that’s a wrap for this week’s AI Daybreak. Whether it’s Trump’s next move on AI policy or DeepSeek shaking things up, one thing’s clear—the AI world is far from slowing down. Stay sharp, folks, because the next big shift could be just around the corner.
