China’s AI Assistant Deepseek has become the highest evaluation free app on the Apple App Store in the United States and other locations, and has defeated Chatgpt and other rivals. This is equipped with an open source Deepseek V3 model, which is said to require much less computing power than competitors, and was developed under $ 6 million according to a company (contested). 。 At the same time, Deepseek said last week, providing the same performance as Claude-3.5, GPT-4O, and other rivals.
The news that DeepSeek was the top of the App Store chart has caused a sudden decline in high -tech shares such as NVIDIA and ASML this morning. Google’s parent company Alphabet and Microsoft also went down this morning. As the New York Times pointed out, the NASDAQ and S & P 500 as a whole were also reduced, and the European and Japanese markets were a bit hit.
Deepseek, which is available on Web, App and API, is similar to AI assistants like Chatgpt. There are functions such as creating and investigating content. The first Deepseek-R1 release is available under Mit license and can be used commercially without restrictions.
The company was located in Hangzhou, China, and was established in 2023 by Liang Wenfeng. According to Mit Technology Review, to develop high -tech, he replenished the NVIDIA A100 chips before the ban on exports in the United States and paired with powerful chips that could be imported.
However, DeepSeek was still a disadvantage of large hardware next to rival models such as Openai and Google. Therefore, it seems that the company has become more efficient with the AI model and can build and train them at a much lower cost than before.
However, the city and analysts in other places have questioned these claims, pointing out that China is a more restrictive environment for AI development over the United States. Nevertheless, the rise of DeepSeek has raised concerns about potential interests like Openai, which have already invested billions of AI infrastructure.
But all precautions around DeepSeek seemed to attract some bad actors. According to CNBC, DeepSeek is temporarily restricted in service registration in light of “large -scale malicious attacks”. However, existing users should be able to log in as usual. But if all the topics around the tool want to check out it, you may have to be patient.
