The rest of the stock market could finally catch up to the Magnificent Seven this year—and it has nothing to do with DeepSeek.

"In our view this is a correction and not the start of a sustained bear market," Goldman Sachs said. DeepSeek sparked a $1 trillion market rout on Monday.

A frenzy over an artificial intelligence chatbot made by Chinese tech startup DeepSeek was upending stock markets Monday and fueling debates over the economic and geopolitical competition between the U.

China’s DeepSeek surprised the technology world this week by releasing an AI model that almost matched the performance of American rivals while requiring far less computing power. The news sparked a sell-off in U.S. stocks as investors fretted that the need for powerful computers to train and operate AI models may be overblown.

A Chinese company’s cut-rate computing solution has upended the tech world, with companies, investors and even the U.S. government trying to understand what it means for the future.

Monday’s trillion-dollar stock-market wipeout will be remembered as an opportunity to scoop up shares of some of the most valuable U.S. companies at a discount, according to a team of equity strategists at Goldman Sachs Group.

As we’ve written numerous times elsewhere, the cause of Monday’s DeepSeek market wobble were fears that good-enough LLMs won’t cost billions to build and run, and that supplying them won’t be a winner-take-all competition.
