PANews reported on January 27 that according to Bloomberg, DeepSeek, developed by a domestic large-scale model company, released a competitive AI model, which triggered market concerns that it would threaten the technological leadership of the United States, and Japanese chip stocks fell sharply. Nvidia supplier Advantest fell 8.2%, Disco Corp fell 2.9%, SoftBank Group fell 5.4%, and data center cable manufacturers Furukawa Electric and Fujikura Ltd both fell more than 8%.
