DeepSeek’s low-cost, high-power AI model has shaken up the global AI industry and ethics debates. Here’s how they did it.

DeepSeek is a large language model (LLM) developed in China, similar to OpenAI’s ChatGPT. The chatbot recently made headlines when it surpassed ChatGPT as the most downloaded free app on Apple’s app store.

DeepSeek is the new kid on the Artificial Intelligence-driven chatbot / large language model block, and it is threatening to blow the rest out of the water.

DeepSeek is just one of many Chinese companies working on AI to make China the world leader in the field by 2030.

Less than a week after the new artificial intelligence platform DeepSeek sent investors spiraling in the United States, another AI model has popped up in China, claiming to be even better.
