DeepSeek, a Chinese AI lab, has quickly risen to prominence, with its Android app claiming the top spot on the Google Play Store shortly after its chatbot app achieved the same on the Apple App Store. Since launching in mid-January, DeepSeek's app has amassed over 1.2 million downloads on the Play Store and 1.9 million on the App Store. The surge in popularity is attributed to the release of open-source AI models competitive with those from major Western firms, despite DeepSeek's claims of lower training costs and hardware limitations. Long-term success will require DeepSeek to reach 300 million weekly users.
