Costco Wholesale Corp (COST) Latest News

DeepSeek Seeks $300M at $10B Valuation as OpenAI, Anthropic Valuations Spark Market Debate

Gate News message, April 17 — According to The Information, DeepSeek is in talks to raise at least $300 million at a valuation of $10 billion, a fraction of leading U.S. AI companies: OpenAI commands $852 billion, while Anthropic is valued at up to $800 billion. The valuation gap has sparked investor debate over whether DeepSeek represents a bargain or if American AI firms are overpriced. DeepSeek's R1 model, launched in January 2025, trained for approximately $5.6 million—a fraction of the hundreds of millions typically spent by U.S. laboratories—triggered a market shock that erased nearly $1 trillion in U.S. equity value in a single day, with Nvidia losing close to $600 billion in market capitalization. Since then, performance rankings between U.S. and Chinese models have traded the top position multiple times; as of March 2026, Anthropic's leading model holds just a 2.7% performance advantage, according to Stanford University's 2026 AI Index. On the revenue front, OpenAI reported an annualized run rate of $25 billion in February, while Anthropic surged from $9 billion at end-2025 to $30 billion by March, driven primarily by Claude Code demand. In Q1 2026, just four deals—OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, and Waymo—accounted for 63% of total capital raised globally. SpaceX-xAI is targeting an IPO valuation potentially exceeding $1.75 trillion, potentially the largest IPO in market history. Some investors have raised concerns about OpenAI's current valuation, with one backer telling the Financial Times that justifying the $852 billion price requires assuming an IPO valuation of $1.2 trillion or more. The extreme valuation gap between DeepSeek and American AI leaders is now raising questions about whether speculative appetite, rather than revenue-generating capability, is driving market prices.

Global Robotaxi Market Projected to Reach $168B by 2035, Driven by US and China

Gate News message, April 16 — According to Counterpoint Research, the global robotaxi market could reach $168 billion by 2035, with 3.6 million vehicles in service. The forecast is underpinned by advances in autonomous driving AI, increased investment, and expanding fleet deployments. The US and China will lead the market. In the US, Waymo and Tesla are key operators, while China's market includes Baidu's Apollo Go, WeRide, Pony.ai, and DiDi, which is testing Level 4 autonomous vehicles in Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Beijing. Hardware cost reductions are accelerating profitability. Solid-state LiDAR sensors fell from approximately $12,000 per unit in 2022 to under $800 by 2025, improving unit economics. Leading robotaxi operators are expected to reach per-ride break-even in 2027-2028, with Waymo reporting positive contribution margins in its Phoenix service in 2025.

OpenAI Shifts ChatGPT Ad Model to CPC, Targeting $2.4-2.5B Ad Revenue in 2026

Gate News message, April 16 — OpenAI is transitioning ChatGPT's advertising model from cost-per-impression (CPM) to cost-per-click (CPC), set to be applied to advertisers within days, according to Disinformation. The shift comes as the company faces mounting pressure from a projected $14 billion loss this year, driven by surging computing costs despite ChatGPT's weekly active users approaching 900 million. The move reflects structural challenges with OpenAI's subscription model. While 900 million users engage with ChatGPT weekly, only 5% pay for premium tiers, leaving most users generating costs without revenue. CEO Sam Altman previously noted that even $200-per-month subscribers can incur losses due to high inference costs. OpenAI has set 2026 ad revenue targets of $2.4-2.5 billion, with plans to scale to $11 billion by 2027. OpenAI is also testing action-based ad formats and requiring advertisers to commit $30,000-50,000 monthly spend. The platform separates ads from ChatGPT responses to preserve user trust. Paid tiers (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise) remain ad-free, while Free and ChatGPT Go users see advertisements. Industry analysts view the CPC adoption as a direct challenge to Google and Meta's search and performance ad markets, as AI-generated answers with contextual commercial links may offer higher conversion efficiency than traditional keyword advertising.

Hannam University Breaks Ground on Central Korea's Largest Private GPU Data Center

Gate News message, April 16 — Hannam University held a groundbreaking ceremony on April 16 for a major GPU data center project in Daejeon, South Korea's central region. The facility will accommodate over 62,500 Blackwell-class GPUs, with total facility costs of approximately 2.5 trillion Korean won ($1.9 billion). Supermicro, an Nvidia GPU supplier, will handle GPU procurement for the project. The initiative involves Supermicro, BKB Energy, KT, and TurboScale, which will manage GPU supply and installation of cooling systems. The parties have signed an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) to ensure GPU supply whenever needed. Lee Jun-won, vice chair of Hannam University's AI Strategy Committee, stated that the facility can eventually accommodate approximately 320,000 GPUs. Initially, 62,500 Blackwell-class units will be deployed, with a contractual arrangement to upgrade to Vera Rubin-class and higher-tier processors as desired. The project is funded entirely through private capital, with investment from U.S., Canadian, and French sources, as well as domestic investors including Meritz Fire & Marine Insurance, Woori Investment & Securities, and BKB Energy. Approximately 80% of GPUs will use liquid cooling for thermal management. Water supply will be handled by the Korea Water Resources Corporation, while Korea Electric Power Corporation will initially provide 40MW of electricity, with plans to secure an additional 100MW through energy storage systems (ESS). Hannam University plans to complete building design this year and begin full construction next year.
