OK, hold on, so I went over to huggingface and took a look at this.

Deepseek is huge. Like Llama 3.3 huge. I haven't done any benchmarking, which I'm guessing is out there, but it surely would take as much Nvidia muscle to run this at scale as ChatGPT, even if it was much, much cheaper to train, right?

So is the rout based on the idea that the need for training hardware is much smaller than suspected even if the operation cost is the same... or is the stock market just clueless and dumb and they're all running on vibes at all times anyway?

Everything I've seen from looking into it seems to imply it's on par for training and performance as other (LLM only) models.

I feel like I'm missing something here or that the market is "correcting" for other reasons.

The market is correcting because the AI bubble is gonna pop and someone needs to be left holding the bag.
