AH!  It becomes clear now.
There is a tech war on between China and the US to develop AGI.
China has just released an open-source AI that is approx equal to the
OpenAI o1 model.
And it is charging users around one-thirtieth of what o1 costs to run.
The US is throwing money at AI in panic to get to AGI before the Chinese.

Do a search for -  Deepseek R1 versus OpenAI o1 AI
to find many news reports.
The race is on!

China’s cheap, open AI model DeepSeek thrills scientists
DeepSeek-R1 performs reasoning tasks at the same level as OpenAI’s o1
— and is open for researchers to examine.
