There’s been a lot of chatter today about DeepSeek and its potential impact on data centers and nuclear energy.
(Let me say btw, that "DeepSeek" is an interesting name choice – first, I co-founded a nuclear waste disposal company called "Deep Isolation", and now we have "Deep Fission". Have we started a new naming trend?)
While the news is certainly eye-catching, it’s important to remember that markets tend to react hastily, often before the full picture has emerged.
For those of us building solutions for the long term, the fundamentals haven’t changed. There will always be a need for clean, low-cost, quick-to-deploy energy. That demand isn’t going anywhere, and companies built on sound principles—not just hype—will continue to thrive.
Whether DeepSeek becomes revolutionary remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: AI is advancing at an extraordinary rate, with breakthroughs happening frequently. Transformative moments are quickly becoming the new normal, and the markets will eventually adjust to these cycles. More efficient use of processing could be a massive enabler that allows us to do so much more with AI.
At Deep Fission, we’re focused on creating technology the world desperately needs. Our deep underground reactors are one of the fastest, most effective ways to close the gap in clean power, and we’re proud to be creating a new paradigm for cheap, clean, and reliable energy.
At the end of the day, innovation and execution drive progress.?If you’re looking for a good explanation of today’s events, check out this clip featuring CNN's Matt Egan.
