Key Takeaways 

  • Mark has been favouring users of AI over infrastructure/computer companies in anticipation of a scenario like this. It just happened faster than expected (over one weekend). 
  • DeepSeek is real and the model is a breakthrough - the price of intelligence just fell 80%. 
  • What’s the impact when the price of a commodity falls this much? Short answer is: it’s good for buyers and bad for sellers. 
  • This has just accelerated Mark's existing preference from the past year - he has been looking for users of AI and less for sellers of AI. 
  • Mark moves quickly, just like the market, and continues to move into positions of the market where users of AI's costs are improving. 
  • It's a narrow group of companies that don't benefit from this change we've just experienced.
