DeepSeek’s AI Breakthrough Signals Major Shifts for Data Centers

The DeepSeek AI model could drive AI adoption and data center expansion, with experts predicting increased demand for both large-scale and decentralized infrastructure.

The emergence of DeepSeek and its efficiency improvements in AI processing could have significant implications for data centers, even as the debut of the AI model triggered a major sell-off in U.S. tech stocks early this week.

Market darling Nvidia fell more than 12% and the Nasdaq fell 2.7%, and analysts said the reaction reflects concerns over whether the massive spending on AI and its infrastructure is justified.

Meanwhile, Reuters reported U.S. power and utility stocks dropped sharply as DeepSeek's model raised doubts about the expected surge in electricity demand from AI-driven data centers.
