The DeepSeek Moment is the inflection point in January 2025 when DeepSeek R1 visibly closed the gap between open-weight and closed frontier models. The claim of unusually low training cost triggered sharp short-term equity drops across AI-exposed names, NVIDIA included. It permanently accelerated the Open-source Race and reframed the narrative around releases like Llama 4, Qwen 3, and GLM-4.6. The dynamic is still unfolding, but the term DeepSeek moment has already become a fixed reference point in AI investment analysis.
