Chinese AI startup DeepSeek's AI Assistant has overtaken ChatGPT to become the top-rated free app on Apple's App Store in the U.S. This achievement is attributed to the DeepSeek-V3 model, which claims to outperform both open-source and advanced closed-source models globally. Since its launch on January 10, the app has gained significant traction among U.S. users, as reported by Sensor Tower.
The rise of DeepSeek challenges the perception of U.S. dominance in AI technology and raises questions about the effectiveness of U.S. export controls on advanced chips. DeepSeek's use of Nvidia's H800 chips for training, reportedly at a low cost, has sparked debate among U.S. tech leaders regarding the impact of these restrictions. Founded in 2023, DeepSeek is the first Chinese AI company to receive acclaim from the U.S. tech industry for matching or exceeding the performance of leading U.S. models.
