Financial markets went into a panic last week over an obscure Chinese tech start-up called DeepSeek. The company now threatens to upend the world of artificial intelligence and the race for who will dominate it.

Kevin Roose, a tech columnist at The Times, discusses how DeepSeek caught us all off guard.

Guests: Kevin Roose (https://www.nytimes.com/by/kevin-roose) , a technology columnist for The New York Times and co-host of the Times tech podcast, “Hard Fork (https://www.nytimes.com/column/hard-fork) .”

Background reading:

• DeepSeek’s model has rocked Silicon Valley (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/28/technology/china-deepseek-ai-silicon-valley.html) and upended several fundamental assumptions about A.I. progress.
• Listen to “Hard Fork”: Your guide to the DeepSeek freakout (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/podcasts/your-guide-to-the-deepseek-freakout-an-emergency-pod.html) .
