DeepSeek, a Chinese AI model, has become the most downloaded app on Apple ’s App Store, surprising investors and impacting global tech stocks. Released on January 20, it first impressed AI enthusiasts before grabbing worldwide attention.


Even former U.S. President Donald Trump called it a 'wake-up call' for American companies to stay competitive. Let's understand the details of Deepseek and the process of using this app. 


What Makes DeepSeek Special?


DeepSeek claims to have been built at a fraction of the cost of leading AI models like OpenAI's, thanks to fewer advanced chips. This innovation led to Nvidia losing $600 billion in market value—the largest one-day loss in U.S. history. DeepSeek's researchers claim they developed it for just $6 million, a fraction of the billions spent by U.S. AI firms. 

It is becoming a buzzword as it is completely free to use unlike ChatGPT, which limits free users. DeepSeek offers unlimited access without requiring a subscription for now. The app is easily accessible and downloadable on both Google Play and App stores. 
 


What is DeepSeek?


At its core, DeepSeek is an AI chatbot similar to ChatGPT. It runs on R1, an AI model with 670 billion parameters, making it the largest open-source large language model. Experts say it performs on par with OpenAI's GPT-4 in math, coding, and reasoning.


Unlike Western AI, Chinese models, including Baidu’s Ernie and ByteDance’s Doubao, are designed to avoid politically sensitive topics. When asked about Tiananmen Square (June 4, 1989), DeepSeek declined to respond, reflecting government censorship.
