upstart

Jelks and Wells gradually took over shop, and when Earth, Wind and Fire took a hiatus in 1984, they began designing for a Minnesotan upstart named Prince.

Buzzy AI upstart DeepSeek had to delay the release of its latest model earlier this year because of a shortage of chips, people familiar with its operations said.

Consider the mockery Shakespeare received from Robert Greene, a fellow playwright, who called him “an upstart Crow, beautified with our feathers.”

AI has become a geopolitical battleground, as evidenced by the rapid rise of DeepSeek and Chinese chip upstarts that are seeking to take on established U.S. players.

Slower luxury sales and competition from electric-vehicle upstarts in China are well-known issues and affect all German carmakers, the analysts say.
