What is DeepSeek AI? Is it safe? Here's everything you need to know
Briefly

Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has made headlines for its impressive growth after releasing the R1 open-source reasoning model earlier this year. This model not only surpassed OpenAI's offerings but also achieved massive app download numbers, overtaking ChatGPT. Despite its advantages, including cost-effectiveness compared to U.S. alternatives, DeepSeek faces increasing scrutiny due to security concerns, resulting in bans from private and government sectors. The company's innovative approach to optimizing existing tech in light of export restrictions positions it as a formidable player in AI, even while doubts linger over development costs and model stability.
DeepSeek’s impressive journey began with the launch of its open-source R1 model, outperforming existing leaders and highlighting the rise of alternative AI solutions.
The rapid ascent of DeepSeek raises questions about the security, as bans on its technology emerge from various organizations in response to concerns over privacy and safety.
