- From darkness to world renown, the rise of Deepseek erases world giants
- It is now in second position behind the Openai Chatppt
- The 24 -hour reign of Deepseek as the Haut -term of the AI has triggered the chaos on the market
On January 28, Deepseek R1, only eight days old at the time, became the most popular term in the world on Google Trends for 24 hours.
It has exceeded the terms of well -known AI such as Chatgpt, Llama, Gemini and Copilot, capturing world attention and causing unprecedented volatility on stock markets.
This sudden increase sent shock waves via the stock markets, affecting in particular the shares of large companies such as NVIDIA and ASML, which have experienced significant reductions. The fear of investors concerning the “disruptive” potential of Deepseek led to massive sales, leading to billions of people lost in various sectors in a single day of negotiation. NVIDIA was the most affected, suffering from a drop in record stock prices of $ 600 billion.
Deepseek now second but remains popular
After its 24 -hour increase, `Deepseek R1 ” has now fell second behind Chatgpt in many territories, but remains in the lead in Russia and not surprisingly, China.
Deepseek’s global popularity is still increasing. According to similar, in a few days, the world’s daily visits to Deepseek have doubled from 6.2 million to 12.4 million while downloads on Google Play Store now exceed 10 million.
Deepseek R1 has gained popularity not only for its performance, but also for its remarkably low development costs, apparently about 6 million dollars, compared to the billions spent by its American counterparts Nvidia, Google and Openai.
What is more striking is that, in many cases, this surpasses the Chatppt, which questions the status quo in the AI technology industry.
However, as Deepseek’s popularity increases, the same goes for his misfortunes. Several countries have taken important measures to restrict or prohibit its use, citing concerns about data confidentiality and national security.
In February 2025, Taiwan prohibited government agencies and critical infrastructure from using Deepseek. The Italian data protection authority has blocked Deepseek in mobile application stores, while the US Navy prohibited its staff from using the application.
Other countries, including South Korea, Ireland, France, Australia and the Netherlands, would also consider new measures.
