New AI surprises the tech world!
A company from China called DeepSeek is making a lot of noise in the world of artificial intelligence (AI). DeepSeek started in Hangzhou a few years ago and wanted to build a very smart AI called artificial general intelligence (AGI).
Right now, DeepSeek doesn't have AGI, but it has made something really cool – a chatbot! This chatbot became the most downloaded free app on the Apple store in January!
People who have used love it have loved its performance. DeepSeek spent only $6 million to create its AI, which is much less than what US companies spend on their AI tools.
About DeepSeek-R1.

DeepSeek’s new AI is called DeepSeek-R1. It’s like ChatGPT, but the best part is – it’s free! Anyone can use it or even make their own version of it!
DeepSeek-R1 can:
- Answer hard questions (it may take a little time).
- Search the internet for answers.
- Solve puzzles and give summaries of documents.
Some experts say DeepSeek-R1 is even better than ChatGPT in some tests! And unlike some other AI tools, DeepSeek-R1 is free to use, which makes it very popular.

A small problem.

Even though DeepSeek-R1 works well, it doesn’t talk about some things related to China. For example, if you ask about Tiananmen Square, where a huge protest happened years ago, it won’t answer.
Still, DeepSeek has impressed big companies like Nvidia and OpenAI. Some people think this new AI could change the world of AI. DeepSeek is growing fast. What do you think will happen next?
