DeepSeek VS. ChatGPT

DeepSeek, a Chinese AI assistant, recently soared to the top of Apple’s App Store as the most popular free app. Its rise has positioned it as a strong alternative to ChatGPT, praised for its reasoning abilities and open-source framework.

How is DeepSeek Different from ChatGPT?

• Small Cost, High Impact: While ChatGPT was developed with a budget exceeding $100 million, DeepSeek was built with a relatively modest $6 million—yet it remains highly effective.

• Increased Problem-Solving Skillset: A feature called "DeepThink(R1)" enables the AI to break down complex problems step by step, making it particularly strong in math problem-solving and coding.

• Open-Source Model: Unlike ChatGPT, DeepSeek’s source code is available to developers, allowing them to modify and enhance it.

But despite its success, DeepSeek is not without its complications:

• Censorship Issues: As a China-developed AI, it avoids certain sensitive topics, which may restrict free discussion.

• Privacy Threats: Since its data is stored on servers in China, some governments and users have raised concerns about security and data privacy.

DeepSeek’s rapid success has sparked debate in the U.S. Some view it as an exciting competitor to American AI models, while others worry about its potential risks. The U.S. Navy recently banned its use due to concerns over data privacy.

In summary, DeepSeek is emerging as a powerful AI rival to ChatGPT, efficient, open-source, and strong in reasoning.
