DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, has recently garnered significant media attention due to its groundbreaking AI models, particularly the DeepSeek-R1 reasoning model. This model rivals leading AI systems like Open AI’s in performance and stands out for its cost-effectiveness and efficiency. DeepSeek's claim that its R1 artificial intelligence (AI) model was made at a fraction of the cost of its rivals has raised questions about the future about of the whole industry, and caused some the world's biggest companies to sink in value.

DeepSeek has become the most downloaded free app in the US just a week after it was launched. DeepSeek makes its generative artificial intelligence algorithms, models, and training details open-source, allowing its code to be freely available for use, modification, viewing, and designing documents for building purposes. The Company reportedly vigorously recruits young A.I. researchers from top Chinese universities, and hires from outside the computer science field to diversify its models' knowledge and abilities.

World has widely stretched its hand to hold the new technology.
