🐳DeepSeek Claims 545% Daily Profit Margins

Chinese AI Lab DeepSeek recently claimed that “DeepSeek-R1” and “DeepSeek-V3” have a theoretical daily profit margin of 545%.
Key Details:
If renting a single NVIDIA H800 GPU is $2 per hour, the daily compute needed to run “DeepSeek-R1” and “DeepSeek-V3” costs $87,072.
The Chinese AI Lab’s pricing strategy includes three factors:
Cache Hit: $0.14 per Million Input Tokens
Cache Miss: $0.55 per Million Input Tokens
Output Tokens: $2.19 per Million Output Tokens
With 342 billion Cache Hits, 266 billion Cache Misses, and 168 billion Output Tokens per day, the theoretical daily revenue generated by these AI models is roughly $562,027.
Why It’s Important:
It’s based on idealized conditions that overlook real-world variables that drastically alter the financial picture. For instance, DeepSeek offers lower prices on Cache Hit, Cache Miss, and Output Tokens for developers during off-peak hours.
But it still highlights “DeepSeek-R1’s” impressive ability to compete with U.S. AI firms at a fraction of the cost with half the computational resources.
AI AND ROBOTS
🦾AI Teaches Robots to Listen and Think Harder

Physical Intelligence (π), a company bringing general-purpose AI into the physical world, developed “Hierarchical Interactive Robot (Hi Robot).”
Key Details:
π outlines two ways humans solve problems:
System 1: Instinctual and automatic (e.g., driving a familiar route home).
System 2: Deliberate and conscious (e.g., trying a new recipe).
“Hi Robot” equips robots with the ability to solve problems using System 1 or System 2, depending on the task at hand.
System 1 acts as the robot’s “instincts,” allowing it to react quickly to familiar situations. System 2 acts as the robot’s “planner,” allowing it to think through new challenges.
Why It’s Important:
π is bridging the gap between rigid automation and truly intelligent behavior.
“Hi Robot” moves robots beyond simple, pre-programmed actions, enabling them to make more nuanced and contextually appropriate decisions.
THE AI RACE
🇨🇳China’s AI Experts Can’t Travel to the U.S.
Chinese authorities are instructing the country’s top AI Experts to avoid traveling to the U.S., fearing they could divulge confidential information about the nation’s AI progress or be detained and used as bargaining chips in U.S.-China negotiations.
Chinese President Xi Jinping urged his highest-ranking officials to “improve China’s overall cybersecurity related to AI developments.” Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang recently explained why “America must win the AI War.”
