Zuckerberg says Meta won't slow down AI spend despite DeepSeek's breakthrough

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said China-based DeepSeek has created a powerful artificial intelligence model, but it won't likely curb Meta's AI spending.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday said it's too early to tell what impact DeepSeek's breakthrough AI model will have on his company and the broader tech industry.

Still, Zuckerberg poured cold water on the notion that Meta's overall AI spending will soon drop now that DeepSeek has allegedly proven that cutting-edge AI requires far less money and computing resources than previously thought.

"It's probably too early to really have a strong opinion on what this means for the trajectory around infrastructure and CapEx," Zuckerberg said. "There are a bunch of trends that are happening here all at once."
