China’s DeepSeek AI Wreaking Havoc in Markets Worldwide

1 Shares

China’s DeepSeek AI has rapidly gained traction in the last few weeks, causing a stir in the AI market while presenting itself as the more competitive and cost-effective AI model worldwide after it launched its DeepSeek-R1 AI model this month.

DeepSeek’s R1 AI model has caused a bit of a headache for major AI tech giants like OpenAI and Nvidia, causing markets to shift and stumble. Nvidia and other tech firms, such as Microsoft and Google, saw their stock market values take a huge hit on Monday due to DeepSeek’s sudden rise.

After the launch of the R1 model, DeepSeek stated that the “performance was on par with” one of OpenAI’s latest models when used for tasks such as maths, coding and natural language reasoning. And it turns out to be true, as many users flocked to app stores to download the app.

As of now, we have faced some technical difficulties getting responses from the DeepSeek AI app on Android due to huge influx of users within the last few days, with over 10 millions downloads and climbing on the Google Play Store. Mircosofts’s Copilot currently has 1 billion downloads, while Open AI’s ChatGPT has over 100 million.

In recent years, the global artificial intelligence (AI) market has witnessed a surge in innovation, with companies racing to develop cutting-edge solutions that redefine industries. Among these emerging players, is DeepSeek AI.

Its growing popularity is a testament to its advanced capabilities, versatility, and ability to address real-world challenges across various sectors. As businesses and consumers alike seek smarter, more efficient solutions, DeepSeek AI has emerged as a frontrunner, capturing the attention of the world market.

What Sets DeepSeek AI Apart?

What sets DeepSeek AI apart from other language models is because it focuses on delivering highly adaptable and scalable AI solutions, unlike the others that are designed for specific tasks. It is built to cater to a wide range of applications, from natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision to predictive analytics and automation, which has made it a go-to choice for businesses.

According to BBC, the DeepSeek chatbot was reportedly developed for a fraction of the cost of its rivals, raising questions about the future of America’s AI dominance and whether the investment put into is still going to hold for US companies. Meanwhile, last week, OpenAI together with a group of other firms pledged to invest $500bn in building AI infrastructure in the US.

There are also reports that claim that it cost around $6m for the researchers to train the DeepSeek AI, which is far less than the billions spent by rivals, though some AI experts say this might not be true.

The other reason for the platform’s popularity is its emphasis on user-friendliness. DeepSeek was designed to be accessible to both technical and non-technical users, enabling companies to harness the power of AI without requiring extensive expertise. This has opened doors for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that previously viewed AI as out of reach due to cost or complexity.

DeepSeek AI’s popularity is not confined to a single region and has achieved significant global reach due to its ability to adapt to different languages, cultural contexts, and regulatory environments, making it a preferred choice for businesses and users. It has captured the interest of North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa too.

The company’s strategic partnerships and collaborations have further accelerated its global expansion. By teaming up with leading technology providers, industry experts, and academic institutions, DeepSeek AI has been able to enhance its offerings and stay at the forefront of AI development. These partnerships have also helped the company gain credibility and trust in new markets, paving the way for widespread adoption.

As the global market continues to evolve, DeepSeek AI is poised to remain a key player, driving progress and unlocking new possibilities for businesses and individuals worldwide.
