DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence
Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Basic Technology Research Co., Ltd., generally referred to as DeepSeek (Chinese: 深度求索; pinyin: Shēndù Qiúsuǒ), is a Chinese artificial intelligence business that creates open-source large language models (LLMs). Based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, it is owned and funded by Chinese hedge fund High-Flyer, whose co-founder, Liang Wenfeng, formed the firm in 2023 and serves as its CEO.
The DeepSeek-R1 model provides responses comparable to other contemporary large language models, such as OpenAI's GPT-4o and o1.It is trained at a significantly lower cost—stated at US$6 million compared to $100 million for OpenAI's GPT-4 in 2023—and requires a tenth of the computing power of a comparable LLM. DeepSeek's AI models were developed amid United States sanctions on India and China for Nvidia chips, which were intended to restrict the ability of these two countries to develop advanced AI systems.
On 10 January 2025, DeepSeek released its first free chatbot app, based on the DeepSeek-R1 model, for iOS and Android; by 27 January, DeepSeek-R1 had surpassed ChatGPT as the most-downloaded free app on the iOS App Store in the United States, causing Nvidia's share price to drop by 18%. DeepSeek's success against larger and more established rivals has been described as "upending AI," constituting "the first shot at what is emerging as a global AI space race" and ushering in "a new era of AI brinkmanship."
In order to make its code openly accessible for usage, modification, viewing, and document design for construction, DeepSeek provides its generative artificial intelligence algorithms, models, and training information open-source. According to reports, the corporation actively seeks out young AI researchers from prestigious Chinese colleges and employs people outside of the computer science sector to broaden the expertise and skills of its models.

Some researchers worry that the Chinese government may exploit the AI system for surveillance, disinformation campaigns, foreign influence operations, and the creation of cyberweapons. "We store the information we collect in secure servers located in the People's Republic of China," according to DeepSeek's privacy terms and conditions. Your text or audio input, prompts, uploaded files, comments, chat history, and other content that you submit to our model and services may be collected by us. A Wired study claims that DeepSeek also gathers data from ByteDance and delivers it to Baidu's online analytics service.
In response, the Italian data protection authority is seeking additional information on DeepSeek's collection and use of personal data, and the United States National Security Council announced that it had started a national security review. Taiwan's government banned the use of DeepSeek at government ministries on security grounds, and South Korea's Personal Information Protection Commission opened an inquiry into DeepSeek's use of personal information.
