Chinese AI Startup DeepSeek Surpasses ChatGPT on Apple's App Store, Challenging U.S. Dominance
Jan 27, 2025, 03:43 AM
Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has surpassed ChatGPT to become the top-rated free application on Apple's App Store in the United States. The surge in popularity of DeepSeek's AI Assistant, powered by the DeepSeek-V3 model, has been notable since its release on January 10. This achievement underscores DeepSeek's impact on Silicon Valley, challenging the perception of U.S. dominance in AI. The success of DeepSeek, which reportedly trained its model using Nvidia's H800 chips at a cost of less than $6 million, has led to questions about the effectiveness of U.S. export controls aimed at limiting China's access to advanced technology. Founded in 2023 in Hangzhou, DeepSeek is the first Chinese tech firm to be recognized by the U.S. tech industry for matching or surpassing the performance of leading U.S. AI models.
