How a $6M Chinese AI Just Crashed America's Trillion-Dollar Tech Party

Move over Silicon Valley - there's a new AI in town that just did with six million dollars what American tech giants are spending a trillion to achieve. Tonight, we're diving into how DeepSeek, a Chinese company you've never heard of, sent Nvidia's stock tumbling faster than a tech bro's Patagonia vest collection.
