Chinese Chatbot Deepeseek from a startup with Hanchzhou became the new leader in the field of artificial intelligence, leaving behind even Chatgpt. The Deepeseek-V3 application has called a real furore, leading the rating of the most popular free programs in the App Store in the US, the United Kingdom and China.
Deeseek was launched in January 2025, and in a few weeks he became one of the most discussed developments in Silicon Valley. This breakthrough challenged a well -established thought about the unconditional US leadership in the field of AI. The startup states that only $ 6 million has been spent on the creation of Deeseek-V3, while competitors invest billions in similar projects. This made many experts think about the effectiveness of current approaches to the development of AI.
The Deeseek-R1 model demonstrates impressive multifunctionality: it writes code, solves complex mathematical problems, analyzes data and even capable of joke. All this makes the application popular with a wide range of users. Moreover, at the moment the program remains completely free, which gives it popularity.
Deepeseek forced to view approaches to investment in artificial intelligence. American investor Mark Andrisen called the launch of Deeseek-R1 the "most significant breakthrough" in his career. At the same time, this project has questioned the feasibility of costs for multi -billion dollar infrastructure projects such as those sold in the United States.
The success of Deeseek has caused a decrease in the stock of leading US and European companies in the field of AI. For example, NVIDIA, Microsoft and Meta stocks have fallen after news about Chinese startup. European giants such as ASML and Siemens Energy have also lost much of their market value.
Despite the US export restrictions, Chinese companies, including Deeceek, were able to adapt. Lian Wenfen, the founder of the startup, began to buy NVIDIA graphic processors before the imposition of sanctions, which made it possible to create a competitive model. Deeseek successfully combines high quality chips with cheaper counterparts, which significantly reduces costs.
Experts emphasize that Chinese engineers have been able to develop less resource -consuming algorithms that show high efficiency even without access to advanced technologies. This caused a lively discussion about the need to review the global AI development strategy.
DEEPEEEK launched a challenge for US companies dominated by AI. At the same time, many experts point out that China's access to advanced chips and technologies can be a serious obstacle to the further development of Chinese companies.
"The conditions for stringent technology control leave the United States a significant advantage, but Deeleseek's success demonstrates that China is able to create competitive solutions even in such conditions," Citi analysts say.
The response to DEEPSEEK's rapid breakthrough was the launch of The Stargate Project - the initiative of the consortium of American technology companies that plan to invest $ 500 billion in the development of AI Infrastructure in Texas. However, whether this project will be able to return the US technological leadership will only take time.
Deeseek has become an example of how small startups are able to change the global market using non -standard approaches and innovative solutions. His success has already changed the idea of how to create competitive technologies with minimal cost.
