This podcast discusses the impact of the new DeepSeek AI model on the B2B SaaS industry. The conversation begins with an analysis of DeepSeek's potential to drastically reduce inference costs for AI-enabled SaaS applications, leading to improved gross margins and valuations. The discussion then shifts to a case study of Synthesia, an AI video platform, highlighting its growth and future plans. Finally, the panelists debate the implications of DeepSeek on pricing models, the future of work (particularly the role of AI agents), and the overall impact on B2B fundraising. A key takeaway is the uncertainty around whether the cost reductions will lead to lower prices for consumers or simply increased profit margins for companies.
