Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has called for an urgent pivot to open-source innovation to counter rising competition from DeepSeek, an AI leader championing transparency and collaboration. Acknowledging missteps, Altman emphasized inclusivity as key to staying relevant, signaling a shift back to OpenAI’s original mission of democratizing AI for humanity.

On January 27, 2025, a tech-driven selloff erased $108 billion from the fortunes of the world’s wealthiest, sparked by struggles at AI giant DeepSeek. High-profile billionaires, including Jensen Huang and Larry Ellison, faced massive losses, underscoring the volatility of transformative industries like AI and the fragility of investor confidence.
