DeepSeek, the Chinese AI that threatens ChatGPT: what is it, how does it work and what makes it different?
China is challenging NVIDIA by introducing a new competitor in the world of artificial intelligence.
The world of technology is on a permanent battlefield with artificial intelligence. ChatGPT or solutions like NVIDIA’s are marking their territory against the all-powerful new system coming from China. It is called DeepSeek and we already know its advantages and applications.
DeepSeek in Detail: How China’s Big Threat Works
DeepSeek was released on January 20 as one of the most promising artificial intelligences in the sector. The main virtue of the system lies in the fact that it is open source, which means that any company or individual can install it on other tools and modify it as they wish, which means a level of freedom that did not previously exist among the big players on the board.
The AI was developed using a proprietary model called DeepSeek-R1′, which allows for more efficient results and task completion. It solves the obstacles it faces with each command faster, while producing more accurate results. And the best part is, it’s free. Anyone can use the latest version without paying a single dollar.
To use it, just go to this link. You will be asked to register with a generic account for the platform or through Google. Once you do, you can use it without any restrictions. There is also DeepSeek in app format if you prefer an external experience to the web browser. The company notes that due to the volume of registrations, access to the platform is longer than usual.
The mysterious appearance of this solution has caused several of the giants to suffer a significant drop in the U.S. stock market. As of January 27, 2025, NVIDIA is down more than 12 points, while Microsoft is down 6 points. The market’s reaction is causing many to question whether what appeared to be the benchmarks really are.
