Does it mean they're training new models using previous model snapshots?

Here we go again... The media will take one number out of context and run with it. My barber will then ask me if I heard about this deepseek AI that's gonna run on raspberry pis and if nvda is dead. We've been here before. I'm more and more convinced that it was simply a market play and nothing more.
