What is DeepSeek? Get to know the Chinese startup that shocked the AI industry
Briefly

DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup founded in 2023, has caused a stir in the tech industry by introducing its chatbot model R1, which claims to rival OpenAI's offerings. Launched recently, R1 has quickly surged to become Apple's top free app, displacing ChatGPT. The model operates at a lower cost, having been trained on advanced Nvidia chips. This rapid rise has raised concerns among investors regarding the viability of Big Tech's AI investments and the potential erosion of the United States' dominance in the field.
DeepSeek's R1 model has emerged as a serious competitor in the AI sphere, providing high-quality responses at a fraction of the cost of established players.
Investors are concerned that the rapid success of DeepSeek could jeopardize the substantial investments made by Big Tech in their AI initiatives.
