On Monday, January 27, the DeepSeek chatbot became the most downloaded app on Apple, surpassing OpenAI’s ChatGPT. DeepSeek “demonstrated its power and ability to rival Nvidia.”
According to Tech Xplore, this led to a drop in the shares of American tech giants associated with artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, DeepSeek is considered a low-cost enterprise in the field of generative AI development.
“Analysts believed that the US had an advantage in producing powerful chips and could hinder China’s access to technologies, giving them an edge in the AI race. DeepSeek can perform a wide range of tasks, such as writing song lyrics, helping with personal development plans, and creating recipes based on available ingredients. However, it is also subject to censorship inherent in other Chinese chatbots and is limited in discussing political topics,” the article states.
Meanwhile, rumors are emerging that the cyberattack is driven by the rapid success of the Chinese startup.
