Search DeepSeek on Google Trends. There is no part of the world except some African countries and Greenland where people are not searching for it in large numbers. What did this Chinese company do that the world is looking at its technology with such wide eyes? It seems as if this is the biggest invention in the field of technology after the Internet and AI!
What is AI chatbot DeepSeek
DeepSeek, which has attracted the attention of the whole world, is a Chinese AI company. If you have used ChatGPT, then you must know what this technology of artificial intelligence does and how it works? It is ready to answer your question in your language.
Much cheaper than other tools
What has this AI company DeepSeek actually done, how has its arrival created a stir in the whole world regarding AI? So this Chinese company is claiming that it has built its AI model in just 6 million dollars. For comparison, know that today the cost of running ChatGPT for just 10 days is more than this.
Experts have tested and shown that in many cases it is better than rival AI tools. While it is less complex than them, according to different estimates, the cost of running it is 50 to 80 percent less.
The entire operation will become cheaper
Hardware, data centers and electricity are required to create an AI ecosystem. That is, since the advent of AI, the importance of companies related to this sector has also increased a lot. The growth of companies related to the AI ecosystem in all the major stock markets of the world is a witness to this. After DeepSeek shook the market, these companies saw the biggest decline.
The world saw the condition of Nvidia, but the condition of Internet-related hardware company Broadcom, Indian companies Netweb Technology, Anantraj and E2E is even worse. These companies are important in the business of building data centers.
Challenge to American dominance
In fact, no future for AI was seen in the world without America. America was also under the illusion that without it, no major AI discovery could be made anywhere else. Recently, US President Donald Trump launched the Stargate project with a budget of $500 billion, which focuses on AI technology.
Through DeepSeek, China has proved wrong the notion that America has no alternative in this matter. It has not only presented an alternative, but the alternative it has presented is much cheaper and less complex. Many experts say that DeepSeek is just a sample of the new AI ecosystem that China is preparing. Chinese scientists and engineers working in many important AI companies of the world have gone back to China and started their own AI startups.
The more advanced but most interesting thing is DeepSeek’s reasoning, creativity and multimodal integration. Most artificial general intelligence models focus on guessing, but in DeepSeek you can see reasoning and then brainstorming. Watching a machine do this is fascinating but also scary. You can’t stop yourself from being fascinated by watching its DeepThink R1 model do this.
Despite this, there are concerns related to DeepSeek. Many users in India and around the world have highlighted the problem of it not answering political questions related to China and keeping silent on controversial matters. People are also worried about user data being stored in China and there being no clear rules for its use.
American technology still important
There is no need to be afraid. Many sources say that Nvidia’s chips have been important for DeepSeek’s technology as well. This means that their importance in hardware important for AI is not going to end anytime soon. Even if this makes AI technology very cheap, the demand for chips of high-tech companies like Nvidia will keep increasing. Nvidia’s decline in the short term will not affect its long-term strength.
Anyway, the entry of a new player in the AI sector is beneficial for the users. Not only can AI services become very cheap for them, but due to competition, new discoveries can also accelerate. Therefore, DeepSeek and its sensation is ultimately good news for both the user and the AI market. Perhaps the complexities in other sectors related to it will also decrease and sustainability will increase. Even though the goal of businesses may be maximum consumption, the goal of humanity is sustainable development.
