BEIJING CHINA, The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Assistant from Chinese firm DeepSeek exceeded ChatGPT, a leader in the field of AI, in becoming the most popular free download on the US app store.
The DeepSeek-V3 model, which powers the AI, “appears on the rankings amongst free to download systems and challenges some of the most effective closed-source models worldwide,” According to its developers.
Since its January 10 debut, the app’s download rate in the US has exploded, says app data analytics company Sensor Tower.
The turning point demonstrates how DeepSeek has profoundly impacted Silicon Valley, challenging conventional wisdom on US dominance in AI and the efficacy of George Washington’s export bans to hinder China’s cutting-edge chip or AI capabilities.
Modern processors are needed to support the training of AI models, including ChatGPT to DeepSeek.
Restrictions intended to prevent these computer chips being transferred to Chinese for use to train artificial intelligence models for Chinese companies have been expanded since 2021 by Joe Biden’s government.
But according to a report published recently by DeepSeek researchers, the DeepSeek-V3 spent less than $6 Million on learning using Nvidia’s H800 CPUs.
DeepSeek Raises Tech Export Rules
The assertion that the chips utilized were not as powerful as the most cutting-edge Nvidia goods the capitol has aimed at keeping out of China, along with the comparatively low cost of training, has led the United States tech executives to doubt the efficacy of tech export regulations, even though this information is currently refuted.
The business powering DeepSeek, a Minor startup located in Hangzhou that was established in 2023 when search engine behemoth Baidu unveiled its initial Chinese AI large-language model, is not widely Recognized.
Numerous Chinese IT companies, both big and small, have since launched their own versions of AI models, while DeepSeek is the first to receive acclaim from the US tech community for equal or even outperforming state-of-the-art US algorithms.
