TurboQuant Crashes Memory Stocks in Google's DeepSeek Shock

Source: zerohedge.com

Memory stocks tanked hard today after TurboQuant dropped R1, a cheap AI model that thrives on low-memory devices like laptops. The company behind it aims to make AI accessible without pricey GPUs from Nvidia or memory giants like Micron. The core idea is that AI no longer needs massive hardware, which threatens the hot memory boom. Readers in tech or investing care because it could kill the rally in chips that powered 2024 gains.
