The Wall Street Journal reports growing concerns around DeepSeek's processing of user data, particularly in light of the company's successful products like R1 and its popular chatbot app. DeepSeek, drawing attention earlier this year with R1—an open-source model that boasts superior performance over OpenAI's algorithms—faces possible restrictions from the U.S. government. Despite the chatbot's massive success, its roots lie in a different, less capable model, DeepSeek-V3. The way these models are structured and trained has implications both for performance and for how user data is managed and disclosed.
DeepSeek's recent rise in popularity stems from its advanced open-source LLM, R1, which outperforms competitors while raising privacy concerns over user data processing.
DeepSeek's chatbot app, gaining immense popularity and even becoming the top downloaded app, is under scrutiny for its user data practices amidst a potential U.S. ban.
