DeepSeek's AI assistant has created a stir in the tech industry by becoming the most downloaded app in Apple's US App Store. This surge coincided with a dramatic drop in major tech stocks, particularly Nvidia, which lost $460 billion in market value. DeepSeek's open source model, R1, claims to rival OpenAI's offerings while reportedly utilizing fewer specialized computer chips. The company has since limited new registrations due to alleged attacks. Notably, industry experts highlight the advanced Chinese conversational skills of DeepSeek's chatbot, marking a significant shift in the AI landscape and its competitive dynamics.
