What is DeepSeek?

DeepSeek, known for its R1 chatbot, works similarly to American products. Early tests show that DeepSeek's quality is on par with leading AI tools, while having lower development costs and requiring fewer specialized chips.

DeepSeek, like OpenAI's ChatGPT, is an AI chatbot based on deep learning algorithms, trained from billions of texts on the internet.

1. Multilingual Popularity: Although developed in China, the app supports multiple languages, including English.
2. Free to Use: Unlike ChatGPT which has monthly paid plans, DeepSeek is currently available completely free of charge.
3. Open Source: DeepSeek's code is public, allowing other companies to customize and build upon the technology.

DeepSeek was developed at an estimated cost of just $5.6 million, far less than the hundreds of millions of dollars invested by competitors like OpenAI or Google. This makes DeepSeek a cost-effective AI solution, putting competitive pressure on other companies.

Shares of Nvidia, the leading maker of AI chips, fell more than 17% in early trading on Monday, wiping nearly $590 billion off its market capitalization. The tech-heavy Nasdaq also fell sharply, dropping 3.5%.
