Good afternoon,

It’s the company the nation can’t stop talking about.

A Chinese AI company has wreaked global havoc as it launched its cheaper-built competitor to ChatGPT, resulting in over $US500bn ($800bn) being wiped from the world’s most valuable company, Nvidia.

In this newsletter, we’re talking all things DeepSeek, explaining what the company is, why the US and its president Donald Trump feels threatened and how the Chinese company has investors world over in a stir.

Tech editor Jared Lynch also takes a look at why DeepSeek risks becoming a greater threat to national security than Chinese-owned social media platform TikTok.
