PETALING JAYA: The success of China’s DeepSeek artificial intelligence (AI) model is a boon for data centres (DCs), according to RHB Research.
In a report, the research house highlighted that while DeepSeek claimed to have trained its large language model for just US$5.6mil – a fraction of the billion-dollar investments made by US tech giants – it did not necessarily translate into a reduced need for DCs. Instead, it said if DeepSeek’s claims were true, AI efficiency gains could drive greater AI adoption, thereby fuelling demand for more DC infrastructure.
