Chinese startup DeepSeek has upended the artificial intelligence industry&#8217;s assumptions about costs and computing power, just as OpenAI announced its latest model can cost up to $3,000 per query.
DeepSeek&#8217;s R1 model, which rivals top U.S. systems in performance, reportedly cost just $5.6 million to develop. The breakthrough sent shocks through global markets Monday, erasing nearly $1 trillion in U.S. and European tech stock value, including a record $589 billion drop in Nvidia&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) market capitalization.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a paradigm shift,&#8221; Ali Ghodsi, CEO of Databricks Inc., said to Bloomberg. &#8220;These models that can reason are so much cheaper to produce that you will see it be democratized. You&#8217;ll see innovations from unexpected corners of the world.&#8221;

</ul>
Meanwhile, OpenAI&#8217;s new o3 model, announced just before Christmas, signals a contrary trend—achieving breakthrough performance but at staggering costs. The model requires up to $3,000 to solve a single query that humans complete in seconds, using 172 times more computing power than previous approaches.
&#8220;One very important thing to understand about the future: the economics of AI are about to change completely,&#8221; François Chollet, an AI researcher, said on X when o3 went public.
The model&#8217;s success came from its &#8220;test-time compute&#8221; approach, allowing it to think harder about each question. While this produced superior results, including a 91.5% score on Chollet&#8217;s challenging ARC test, it shattered previous cost assumptions about AI services.
Trending: Built on the trusted network of Fortune 500 companies, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/web3-enabler-the-most-boring-blockchain-company-partners-with-salesforce">this blockchain company partners with Salesforce to uproot lengthy and expensive B2B transactions, and you can invest with just $100.</a>
OpenAI, valued at $157 billion, may charge up to $2,000 monthly for full access to o3, according to The Economist, which cited New Street Research analyst Pierre Ferragu. Even the company&#8217;s current &#8220;pro&#8221; version of o1 loses money on its $200 monthly subscription tier due to higher-than-expected usage.
The cost structure challenges the traditional tech industry model of providing services at near-zero marginal cost. It also strengthens the position of suppliers like Nvidia and cloud providers like Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), and Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>, GOOGL)), which control the essential computing infrastructure. DeepSeek&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/01/43243584/deepseek-r1-vs-openai-what-consumers-need-to-know-about-ais-latest-challenger">success suggests an alternative path</a>. Founded by Liang Wenfeng in 2023, the company achieved its results through efficiency innovations and reinforcement learning techniques, despite limited access to advanced U.S. chips.

&#8220;More investment does not necessarily lead to more innovation,&#8221; Liang told Chinese media outlet 36kr. &#8220;Otherwise, large companies would take over all innovation.&#8221;
The development is catching Silicon Valley&#8217;s attention. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman noted the shift, calling DeepSeek&#8217;s R1 &#8220;an impressive model&#8221; and &#8220;invigorating.&#8221; Meta established an internal team to analyze DeepSeek&#8217;s methods, according to Bloomberg, which cited people familiar with the matter.
Instead of a winner-take-all market, experts predict an oligopoly where multiple firms compete based on specialized applications. Companies like Anthropic, valued at $60 billion, and xAI at $45 billion, suggest investors see room for multiple players despite the high costs.

'The Economics Of AI Are About To Change Completely': Why OpenAI's o3 Could Reshape The Industry — Costing Up To $3000 Per Query

A recent analysis by The Commonwealth Fund has revealed what many Americans may already suspect: the United States health care system ranks last among wealthy nations. Despite spending more on health care than any other country, the US continues to underperform in critical areas like accessibility, efficiency, equity, and health outcomes.
A Troubling Report Card
In the "Mirror, Mirror 2024: A Portrait of the Failing U.S. Health System" <a href="https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/fund-reports/2024/sep/mirror-mirror-2024">report</a>, researchers compared health care systems across 10 high-income countries—Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The US came in last place overall, ranking 10th in accessibility and health outcomes, and poorly in administrative efficiency and equity.

<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
</ul>
According to a September article in AJMC, Joseph Betancourt, MD, president of The Commonwealth Fund, summed it up saying: "The US is failing one of its principal obligations as a nation: to protect the health and welfare of its people… Continually spending the most and getting the least for our health care dollars is not sustainable."
What's Holding the US Back?
One of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43218719/medicares-at-home-care-and-telehealth-restrictions-in-2025-could-limit-access-to-affordable-healthcare-heres-what-you-need-to-know">biggest issues is access to care</a>. With 26 million uninsured Americans and sky-high out-of-pocket costs, health care remains out of reach for many. In contrast, countries like the Netherlands and Germany offer universal coverage and affordable care, making access far more equitable.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42742855/mark-cuban-says-this-is-single-payer-how-his-healthcare-model-could-transform-the-u-s-healthcare-system">shortcomings of the US health care system</a> are further evident in its unparalleled spending. According to the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, in 2022, the United States spent an estimated $12,742 per person on health care—the highest per capita spending among wealthy nations. For comparison, Switzerland, the second-highest spender, allocated $9,044 per person, while the average for other Organization for Economic Development Cooperative and Development countries, excluding the US, was just $6,850.&nbsp;
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mark-cubans-advice-for-lotto-winners">Many are surprised by Mark Cuban's advice for lotto winners: Cash or annuity?</a>
Administrative inefficiency is another key weakness. The US ranked ninth in the category due to its complex insurance system, which forces patients and providers to navigate endless denials, appeals, and paperwork.&nbsp;
In terms of equity, the US fared poorly as well, with widespread disparities in care based on race, ethnicity, and income. Issues like racial discrimination and uneven access to resources disproportionately impact vulnerable communities, worsening health outcomes for millions.
Finally, the US performed the worst in health outcomes. The country has the highest rate of preventable deaths, along with a lower-than-average life expectancy, driven by factors like the opioid crisis, gun violence, and chronic diseases.
Trending: The average 401(k) balance soars to a record-breaking high – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/average-401k-balances-soars-to-record-high">Here's how to know if your nest egg is keeping pace.</a>
What Can Be Done?
The report emphasizes that the US health care system could learn a lot from other nations. Here's what researchers suggest:
<ul>
<li>Reduce financial barriers: Expand insurance coverage and ensure it protects against high out-of-pocket costs.</li>
<li>Simplify the system: Streamline administrative processes to reduce inefficiencies for both patients and providers.</li>
<li>Strengthen primary care: Invest in training and compensation for primary care providers to improve access and outcomes.</li>
<li>Address inequities: Combat racial and socioeconomic disparities by expanding social safety nets and addressing social determinants of health, like housing and food security.</li>
<li>Tackle market consolidation: Regulate health care mergers to reduce costs and improve access.</li>
</ul>
As Betancourt put it, "This report underscores the many lessons we could learn from others on how to strengthen our health care delivery and outcomes."

The Bottom Line
The US health care system's high spending has not translated into better health outcomes or broader access. It's clear that reform is overdue, with opportunities to build a system that is more equitable, efficient, and effective for all Americans. By learning from other nations, the US could finally turn its spending into meaningful improvements for its citizens.

US Health Care Ranks Last Among Wealthy Nations — Study Reveals Despite Highest Spending, People Have Lower-Than-Average Life Expectancies

It's been over seven years since Elon Musk first teased the second-generation Tesla Roadster, a futuristic sports car promising jaw-dropping acceleration and a rocket-powered boost.&nbsp;
Yet, here we are in 2025 and the Roadster is still nowhere to be seen on public roads. Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43048198/in-2011-elon-musk-mocked-tesla-rival-byd-fast-forward-to-2024-the-chinese-automaker-is-the-only-real-contender-to-tslas-global-dominance">Chinese automaker BYD</a> has stolen the spotlight with a real, functioning electric hypercar that performs like a beast and comes with an outrageous party trick: it can jump over potholes, police spikes and other obstacles.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tesla's Elusive Roadster</h2>
Back in 2017, Musk confidently declared that the Tesla Roadster would launch in 2020, setting performance standards no other car could touch. It was supposed to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 1.9 seconds, hit a top speed of over 250 mph and finish a quarter-mile in just 8.8 seconds. Musk now says the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39924101/new-tesla-roadster-will-be-something-special-says-ceo-elon-musk-production-to-commence-in-2025">Roadster will launch in 2025</a> with even more outrageous features, such as SpaceX-sourced rocket technology and a sub-second time to 60 mph.
But is it realistic? Experts think not. Achieving such acceleration would require forces 2.8 times stronger than gravity, which would likely leave drivers feeling dizzy or worse. Adding rockets may sound cool, but making them practical – or safe – on public roads is another story. And the idea of a "flying car" raises even more questions, from engineering challenges to FAA regulations. In short, the Tesla Roadster feels more like a fantasy than a car you'll see in your driveway anytime soon.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BYD's Yangwang U9 – A Real-Life Marvel</h2>
While Tesla's Roadster remains a promise, BYD has delivered the goods. Their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41043074/byd-makes-a-red-yangwang-u9-supercar-for-its-9-millionth-new-energy-vehicle">Yangwang U9</a> is an all-electric hypercar with jaw-dropping capabilities. Priced at $236,000, the U9 features a 1,287-horsepower drivetrain that goes from 0 to 60 mph in 2.36 seconds, rivaling Tesla's Model S Plaid. But it's the car's suspension system that sets it apart.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">BYD&#39;s new &quot;jumping suspension&quot; feature on its Yangwang U9 supercar allows it to clear potholes&#8230;and road spikes <a href="https://t.co/4dKQmqJFOM">pic.twitter.com/4dKQmqJFOM</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Using BYD's DiSus-X intelligent suspension, the U9 can leap up to six meters forward to clear potholes, road spikes and other obstacles. In a recent demo, the self-driving car hit 75 mph and jumped over an eight-foot pothole without a human behind the wheel. This system also lets the car "dance" to music and even drive with three wheels, making it a true engineering showpiece.

In addition to the U9, the range features unusual cars like an SUV that can float on water for 30 minutes in an emergency. The company's innovations aren't just for show – they're part of a larger strategy to challenge Tesla's dominance in high-end and affordable EV markets.
While Musk's Tesla continues to grab headlines with bold claims and delayed promises, BYD is quietly reshaping the EV landscape with practical, high-performance vehicles that push boundaries. The U9 may not fly or reach rocket-assisted speeds, but it's a real car you can buy.
The question is: will Tesla's elusive Roadster ever live up to its hype or has BYD already leaped ahead in the EV race?

Musk's Rocket-Powered Tesla Roadster Is MIA, But A Chinese Automaker Unveils A $236k Self-Driving Car That Can Jump Over Potholes And Spikes

The Trump administration is mounting an aggressive push this weekend to secure Senate support for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tulsi-gabbard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tulsi Gabbard</a>'s nomination as Director of National Intelligence (DNI), according to Axios. With the Senate Intelligence Committee vote looming, officials are scrambling to ensure Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman and military veteran, clears the crucial first hurdle in her confirmation process.
Senate Republican Conference Chairman Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) has transformed the conference's official X account into a makeshift Gabbard "war room," underscoring the urgency of the administration's efforts. To advance her nomination to the full Senate, Gabbard needs to secure every Republican vote on the Intelligence Committee, though skepticism among some GOP senators threatens to derail her path. The committee includes nine Republicans and eight Democrats.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's The Problem? Mostly Edward Snowden</h2>
The administration's lobbying efforts are reportedly focused on persuading Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.), who, along with other senators, pressed Gabbard during her confirmation hearing over her reluctance to label whistleblower Edward Snowden a "traitor."
It seems no one has forgotten that Gabbard <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42257381/snowden-finds-unexpected-allies-in-trumps-new-team">co-sponsored a resolution</a> in 2020 calling for the U.S. to dismiss all charges against Snowden, who has been living in Russia since 2013 after he leaked of classified documents from the National Security Agency.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Will Trump Step In? Most Likely</h2>
President Donald Trump is apparently considering direct outreach to the committee's Republicans to reassure them he has no intention of pardoning Snowden. 
"The president isn&#8217;t really talking about pardoning Snowden, but if that&#8217;s a guarantee they want to get Tulsi confirmed, the president will have those conversations,&#8221; an anonymous senior White House official <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/02/01/trump-tulsi-gabbard-senate-intelligence">told</a> Axios.
A member of the Hawaii Army National Guard who deployed to Iraq with a medical unit, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/02/30743988/breaking-the-chains-of-cannabis-criminalization-tulsi-gabbards-fight-for-legalization-from-grine">Gabbard also supports</a> federal legalization of marijuana. Her outspoken stances over the years, including opposing mainstream intelligence views on Russia, are now raising questions about how she would oversee the nation&#8217;s 18 intelligence agencies with a combined budget of approximately $70 billion.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Get On Board Or You&#8217;re Out</h2>
Meanwhile, MAGA-aligned activists are warning of primary challenges against any Republican senator who opposes Gabbard. "We are 100% serious," Turning Point Action spokesperson Andrew Kolvet said in a statement reported by Axios. "GOP senators in red states will open themselves up to well-funded, well-organized primary challenges if they stand in the way of confirming the Cabinet the president wants and the American people voted for."

Trump Camp Threatens GOP Holdouts: Confirm Tulsi Gabbard For DNI Or Face Reelection Backlash

Esteemed American financier Peter Lynch imparted some key investment wisdom, underscoring the significance of patience, basic arithmetic, and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/stock-split/25/01/42804677/investment-guru-peter-lynch-if-you-invest-only-in-an-index-youll-never-beat-it-brushing-up-on-stock-picking-skills-is-wise">keen focus on a company&#8217;s fundamentals</a>.
What Happened: In one of his books, One Up on Wall Street, he has highlighted some of the most insightful investment thoughts and guideances. 
Lynch, who achieved an impressive 29.2% annual return during his time at the Fidelity Magellan Fund, underscored the crucial role of patience in investment. He said in the book, &#8220;If&nbsp;you invest $1,000 in a&nbsp;stock, all you can lose&nbsp;is $1,000, but you stand&nbsp;to gain $10,000 or even&nbsp;$50,000 over time if you're&nbsp;patient.&#8221;
Contrary to widespread belief, Lynch argued that basic arithmetic skills are all one needs for successful investing. He stated, &#8220;All&nbsp;the math you need in&nbsp;the stock market you get&nbsp;in the fourth grade.&#8221; He emphasized the importance of understanding a company&#8217;s fundamentals rather than relying on intricate mathematical analysis.

Lynch also encouraged investors to concentrate on the companies themselves, rather than the stocks. He argued that aspects such as a company&#8217;s product lineup,&nbsp;growth potential, competitive advantages, and&nbsp;financial health are more indicative of its long-term performance than short-term market fluctuations.
Lynch reminded investors that losses are an inevitable part of investing and that there&#8217;s no disgrace&nbsp;in losing money on a&nbsp;stock. He stressed the importance of focusing&nbsp;on company fundamentals and industry&nbsp;outlook over short-term performance.
"There's no shame in losing money on a stock. Everybody does it. What is shameful is to hold on to a stock, or worse, to buy more of it when the fundamentals are deteriorating," he wrote in the book. &nbsp;
Why It Matters: Lynch&#8217;s insights serve as a timely reminder for investors, particularly those in their 60s, to focus on the long-term potential of their investments. His emphasis on patience, basic math, and company fundamentals over complex analysis and short-term market shifts provides a valuable perspective in today&#8217;s volatile market environment. 
His advice could potentially help investors make more informed decisions, mitigate losses, and maximize returns.

Dalio underscored China&#8217;s potential in the AI sector, saying,&nbsp;&#8220;I think the Chinese are&nbsp;a bit behind in the&nbsp;chips, but they&#8217;re ahead in&nbsp;the applications.&#8221; He envisions China&#8217;s plan to involve low-cost chips integrated into manufactured products, such as robotics.
&#8220;You want to invest in productivity, but there&#8217;s great disruption, great disruption, that&#8217;s going to take place, and they&#8217;re going to be the disruptors and the disruptees,&#8221; Dalio told the outlet.
DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, recently grabbed headlines with the launch of its R1 model, creating a buzz in Silicon Valley and resulting in a significant decline in tech stocks. Nvidia&#8217;s market cap plummeted by nearly $600 billion in the aftermath of the news, reports <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ray-dalio-deepseek-china-chips-nvidia-2025-1">the</a> Insider.

Investors are now reevaluating the substantial&nbsp;investments in AI infrastructure and&nbsp;capital expenditures by companies, particularly in light of potentially cheaper models like DeepSeek&#8217;s. An Nvidia spokesperson recognized DeepSeek as an &#8220;excellent AI advancement.&#8221;
Dalio also cautioned investors about the inflated share prices of AI and technology companies, drawing comparisons with the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s.
Why It Matters: The rise of China in the AI sector and the disruptive innovation by DeepSeek have significant implications for the tech industry. China&#8217;s strategy of integrating low-cost chips into manufactured goods could potentially reshape the AI landscape. 
Furthermore, the success of DeepSeek&#8217;s R1 model raises questions about the viability of&nbsp;massive investments in AI infrastructure&nbsp;by companies. 
The market response to these developments, as evidenced by the drop in Nvidia&#8217;s market cap, indicates the potential for a shift in the tech market dynamics.

Ray Dalio Predicts China's Rise in AI: Chinese 'Are a Bit Behind in the Chips, But They're Ahead in the Applications'

President Donald Trump&#8217;s pledge to launch America&#8217;s largest deportation operation could face hurdles and could cost nearly $1 trillion over a decade, immigration experts and former officials warn.
The American Immigration Council estimates that deporting 11 million unauthorized immigrants would require building 216 new detention facilities yearly for more than a decade, each costing $36 million to build and $48 million annually to operate.
&#8220;It&#8217;s going to be impossible for them to achieve the goal that they set out — which is really getting rid of all the illegal immigrants in the United States,&#8221; David Bier, director of immigration studies at the Cato Institute, said to the Financial Times.

</ul>
Early enforcement actions show the scale of the challenge. ICE <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43219483/trumps-immigration-enforcement-raids-begin-in-chicago-gov-pritzker-concerned-innocent-could-be-targeted">arrested 956 people Sunday</a>, the largest single-day total under the new administration. Yet even at the heightened pace, deportations would fall far short of Trump&#8217;s targets.
Immigration facilities already strain under current operations. ICE can detain 41,500 people at once, while border czar Tom Homan says he needs &#8220;at least 100,000 beds&#8221; to meet the administration&#8217;s goals.
&#8220;It&#8217;s not like you just flip a switch and immediately start rounding people up and sending them to the border,&#8221; John Torres, former ICE acting director during the George W. Bush and Obama administrations, said to the Financial Times.&nbsp;

Current deportation numbers—271,484 in fiscal 2024—pale against Trump&#8217;s million-plus annual target.
The court system presents another bottleneck. Immigration courts face a 3.6-million-case backlog, up from 656,000 in 2017. Most deportations require court proceedings unless immigrants have existing removal orders.
Private prison companies like GEO Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEO#NYSE">GEO</a>) and CoreCivic Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CXW#NYSE">CXW</a>) have seen their stock prices surge since the election. CoreCivic CEO Damon Hininger said his company could quadruple its current 10,000-bed capacity within six months, but building and staffing new facilities would strain federal resources.

Republicans promise $100 billion for border security and enforcement, but experts say it falls far short. Former ICE Chief of Staff Jason Houser said, &#8220;There is no way they have the staff, the money and the resources and the legal authority&#8221; for mass deportations. The plan faces additional resistance from &#8220;sanctuary&#8221; jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. While <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43216758/well-go-as-far-as-im-allowed-trumps-plan-with-immigrants-starts-with-1-million-deportations">Trump threatens to withhold federal funding from those areas</a>, similar attempts during his first term were blocked by courts.
Constitutional hurdles also loom. The administration&#8217;s expanded &#8220;expedited removal&#8221; policy, allowing deportations without court review for those who can&#8217;t prove two years of U.S. residency, already faces legal challenges.&nbsp;
The American Civil Liberties Union calls it a &#8220;cheat code to circumvent due process and the constitution.&#8221;

'It's Going To Be Impossible': Experts Doubt Feasibility Of Trump's Deportation Plan — Experts Estimate Nearly $1 Trillion Spend In 10 Years

Arab foreign ministers have reportedly rejected U.S. President Donald Trump&#8217;s suggestion to transfer Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring Egypt and Jordan, calling it a destabilizing<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43011383/israel-gaza-ceasefire-hostage-exchange" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> move that would threaten peace in the region</a>,
In order to reaffirm their commitment to upholding Palestinians&#8217; rights to their land, ministers from Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, the Palestinian Authority, and the Arab League issued a joint statement following a meeting in Cairo, Reuters reports.
The statement condemned any attempts to displace Palestinians or alter the status of Gaza, which they consider an integral part of a future independent Palestinian state.
Trump&#8217;s suggestion came after 15 months of Israeli bombardment that left much of Gaza in ruins and millions homeless.

He had proposed that Egypt and Jordan take in Gazans, a proposal quickly rejected by both countries, as well as by Egypt&#8217;s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
&#8220;Displacement of the Palestinian people from their land is an injustice that we cannot take part in,&#8221; Fattah al-Sisi added, Al Jazeera <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/2/1/arab-ministers-reject-trumps-call-to-displace-palestinians-from-gaza">reports</a>.
Critics argue that the proposal could lead to ethnic cleansing, as it would force Palestinians to leave their homeland.
The Arab foreign ministers also expressed support for Egypt&#8217;s efforts to host an international conference with the United Nations to rebuild Gaza, although no date has been set.
They emphasized the need for a peaceful resolution based on a two-state solution, reaffirming their desire to work with the U.S. administration to achieve lasting peace in the Middle East.
The rejection of Trump&#8217;s idea underscores the deep sensitivities surrounding the fate of Palestinians and the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
