Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) app DeepSeek on Monday topped the Apple App Store in terms of free downloads in both China and the US, surpassing ChatGPT in terms of free downloads in the US.
Building on this momentum, Deep Seek stocks rebounded strongly at the start of trading on Monday, with multiple stocks opening the day up more than 10%.
In January, Chinese AI startup DeepSeek released its latest open source model, DeepSeek-R1, which is a significant technical breakthrough that uses pure deep learning techniques to spontaneously emerge an AI with inference capabilities. Progress has been made, Xinhua News Agency reported.
DeepSeek says the model’s performance is on par with leading models such as OpenAI on tasks such as math, coding, and natural language inference.
The app quickly garnered worldwide attention, and Silicon Valley was forced to use it even though its programmers were using significantly less powerful chips, according to a Sunday report in the Wall Street Journal. He is surprised that Japan is now almost on par with its American rivals.
For example, Marc Andreessen, a Silicon Valley venture capitalist who has advised President Trump, wrote on Friday’s X-Post that “DeepSeek R1 is the most amazing and impressive advance I’ve ever seen.” It’s one of the.”
Barrett Woodside, co-founder of San Francisco AI hardware company Positron, said he and his colleagues are excited about DeepSeek. “This is pretty cool,” Woodside said, referring to DeepSeek’s open source model, where the software code behind the AI models is freely available, WSJ reported.
