A Manifold Markets prediction market as of June 4, 2026, asks whether DeepSeek lied about the GPU compute budget used to train its v3 model. The consensus probability of a lie is only 4.01%, suggesting low belief in deception. However, the mere existence of such a market indicates ongoing skepticism about DeepSeek's reported compute efficiency. If true, it would imply DeepSeek used more GPUs than claimed, potentially affecting hardware demand signals and investor trust. Source: Manifold Markets.
