Perhaps no stock was more profoundly affected by the news from DeepSeek than Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA). In a sense, DeepSeek validated its dominance by announcing its H800 accelerators trained its model for less than $6 million.

According to a paper authored by the lab, the DeepSeek-R1 model outperforms cutting-edge models such as OpenAI’s o1 and Meta’s Llama AI models across multiple benchmarks.

While the demand is there, it's clear that's not the sole reason why Nvidia's RTX 50 series is impossible to find in stores. Many retailers received fairly low stock quantities, as Nvidia reportedly experienced manufacturing issues.

This could be a great opportunity for investors to buy Nvidia stock on the dip. DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) company that develops large language models (LLMs), turned the world of AI on its head recently when it claimed that it spent just $5.

DeepSeek's claims may be overstated, and Nvidia's long-term growth prospects remain strong. Read why I remain bullish on NVDA stock.
