DeepSeek, a Chinese AI app, has quickly ascended to become the top-rated free application on Apple's App Store, surpassing ChatGPT. Launched in January, it calls into question the preconceived notion that the United States leads in AI development. Built on the open-source DeepSeek-V3 model for less than $6 million, the app's performance in areas such as coding and natural language reasoning rivals that of OpenAI's latest models. Chinese developers have innovated due to chip export restrictions, leading to models that demand less computing power and operate at a fraction of traditional costs.
Chinese artificial intelligence app DeepSeek has surpassed ChatGPT to claim the top free application spot on Apple's App Store in the US, UK, and China.
Since launch, DeepSeek has challenged the notion that the US is the AI industry leader, demonstrating performance comparable to top US models with significantly lower development costs.
