Why you should pay attention to DeepSeek AI
Briefly

DeepSeek, a newly founded Chinese AI startup, has recently launched its open-source reasoning model, R1, which reportedly surpasses OpenAI's o1 in performance on various benchmarks. Within days of its release, DeepSeek's AI assistant surpassed ChatGPT in app downloads and secured a prominent position on HuggingFace's Chatbot Arena. However, following a cyberattack, the company restricted new user registrations. With funding from a hedge fund affiliated with its founder, DeepSeek is poised for significant growth in an increasingly competitive market.
DeepSeek’s R1 model outperforms OpenAI’s o1 while being cheaper and open-sourced, marking a significant shift in the AI landscape.
DeepSeek has risen dramatically in app downloads and user engagement, overtaking well-established players like OpenAI in a brief time frame.
