Nvidia's share price fell some 17 percent on Monday, wiping $600 billion off of the GPU company's valuation. The world's most valuable corporation saw its share price plummet on the release of DeepSeek's latest model, which proved that it was possible to train efficient models using fewer GPUs.

Nvidia ( NVDA -3.12%), a leading semiconductor company, has seen its share price soar 500% over the past three years, pushing its market cap up to a staggering $3.6 trillion. While Apple was the largest company by market cap earlier this year, as I write this, Nvidia holds the spot.
