Last month China AI Deepseek gained increased attention within the AI industry by launching a new AI model which they claimed matches US models like OpenAI's ChatGPT while utilizing Nvidia chips more cost-effectively during massive data training processes.
The chatbot reached wider audiences after its debut on Apple and Google app stores at the beginning of this year.
DeepSeek's AI assistant reached the top spot as the most downloaded free app in Apple's iPhone store by Monday. The surge in popularity sparked discussions about the AI technology race between the United States and China.
US tech industry experts expressed concern as a Chinese startup reached parity with leading American generative AI firms while operating at minimal expense.
Hangzhou, China became the birthplace of DeepSeek in 2023 alongside its release of an AI large language model within the same year.
The United States had maintained a vital edge over China through its advanced chip production capabilities which blocked the Asian powerhouse from accessing important technology giving it superiority in the AI competition.
DeepSeek functions as both an app and a desktop program to perform tasks similar to its Western rivals including song lyric creation and personal development assistance and recipe suggestions based on available ingredients.
The chatbot experiences censorship restrictions similar to those seen in other Chinese AI programs such as Baidu's Ernie Bot which restrict their political topic interactions. Industry observers believe the inexpensive Chinese generative AI project surpasses US competitors in performance while operating at significantly reduced costs.
