Everyone is curious about what is DeepSeek and who is behind the DeepSeek. DeepSeek is a Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) company that provides a free AI-powered chatbot. It works like a ChatGPT. Using an app or computer software, we can type questions or statements, and DeepSeek will respond to our queries in text form.

What is DeepSeek?

DeepSeek is used for similar tasks, and its exact effectiveness and efficiency compared to its competitors are up for debate. However, DeepSeek uses less memory than its competitors.

What makes DeepSeek so special

What makes DeepSeek so special? The company claims it was built at a lower cost than the other industry-leading models like OpenAI because it uses fewer advanced chips.

DeepSeek’s latest version was released on 20 January, quickly impressing artificial intelligence experts before it got the attention of the entire tech industry and the world.

Like many other Chinese AI models, DeepSeek is also trained to avoid politically sensitive questions. When the BBC asked, “What happened at Tiananmen Square on 4 June 1989?” DeepSeek didn’t provide any details and replied, “I am sorry, I cannot answer that question. I am an artificial intelligence (AI) assistant designed to provide helpful and harmless details and responses.”

DeepSeek builds such a powerful AI model with cheaper and less amount. On the same day, DeepSeek’s AI assistant became the most downloaded app on Apple’s App Store in the United States.

United States President Donald Trump said it is a wake-up call for United States companies who must focus on competing to win.
