We recently published a list of 10 AI Stocks Making Waves on Wall Street. In this article, we are going to take a look at where DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:DOCN) stands against other AI stocks making waves on Wall Street.

The moment of reckoning has arrived: China’s artificial intelligence industry has almost caught up with the US. Moreover, it is more open and efficient too. This is unlike the US’s strategy towards the nascent technology, which it wants to keep largely within its borders. To recap President Donald Trump’s first week in office, it is safe to say that the message towards the community has been simple: Build, build, and build.

When he came to office, Trump immediately rescinded Biden’s sweeping executive order on AI. While AI with fewer guardrails may be terrifying for some, it may be a possible way to expand into new territories and win the race toward AI. In light of this, Trump has recently signed an executive order related to AI to “make America the world capital in artificial intelligence”.

The President has also announced a joint venture led by SoftBank Group Corp., OpenAI, and Oracle Corp. The “Stargate initiative” will fund billions of dollars worth of AI infrastructure. On the eve of taking office, President Trump said that he would allow “people with a lot of money” to invest in so-called “AI plants” that power data centers for artificial intelligence.

Trump’s actions signal the direction AI policy is going to take under his reign, particularly when it comes to competing with China. Meanwhile, both China and the US are doing everything in their power to win the AI race. Back in September, OpenAI released the world’s first reasoning model, o1, which used a “chain of thought” to answer difficult questions. Other companies soon followed suit. Google developed its own reasoning model called “Gemini Flash Thinking” in December and a few days later, o3 was born.

Keeping a close tab on these developments, China has recently made a mark of its own, igniting panic in Silicon Valley along the way. An AI lab, known as DeepSeek, unveiled a free, open-source large-language model in late December. According to the lab, it took only two months and less than $6 million to build the model, using reduced-capability chips from Nvidia called H800s.

Third-party benchmark tests have revealed how DeepSeek’s model outperformed Meta’s Llama 3.1, OpenAI’s GPT-4o, and Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 3.5 in accuracy ranging from complex problem-solving to math and coding. If this wasn’t enough, DeepSeek, last Monday, released r1, a reasoning model that has outperformed OpenAI’s latest o1 in several of these third-party tests.
