As pointed out by venture capitalist and Trump tech adviser Marc Andreessen on x (formerly Twitter), DeepSeek’s breakthrough could be “AI’s Sputnik moment.” If that sounds familiar, it’s because it’s a reference to the 1957 launch of Sputnik, the satellite that kicked off the space race between the US and the USSR during the Cold War in the 1950s.
