Morning in New York: Middle East conflict increases uncertainty

The AI industry began 2025 with the announcement of the unprecedented <a href="https://oninvest.com/article/klub-zaklatyh-druzej-cto-takoe-ii-megaproekt-stargate">$500 billion Stargate <a href="https://oninvest.com/article/klub-zaklatyh-druzej-cto-takoe-ii-megaproekt-stargate">mega project</a>, and then followed it up with an equally unprecedented <a href="https://oninvest.com/article/cernyj-lebed-iz-kitaa-sposoben-li-deepseek-izmenit-rynok-ii">$1 trillion drop</a> in markets following the release of China's DeepSeek AI model, which turned out to be just as good and significantly cheaper than its American competitors. We are, of course, fortunate to witness in real time a technological revolution comparable in scale to the invention of the Internet.

And now, the year that started so brightly hasn't even reached the halfway point, and the ever-burgeoning AI market continues to be shaken by events that, in the apt <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/11/can-scale-ai-and-alexandr-wang-reignite-metas-ai-efforts/">expression</a> of TechCrunch, have investors and analysts "scratching their heads."
