DeepSeek's Cheaper V4.1-Flash Model Rattles Samsung, SK hynix
BigGo Finance reports that DeepSeek's cheaper V4.1-Flash model has raised concerns about slower growth in AI compute and high-bandwidth memory demand, pressuring Samsung and SK hynix shares. If low-cost models reduce memory consumption per unit of compute, expectations for the memory supercycle could weaken, a near-term negative for sentiment.
