A new competitor to ChatGPT has emerged: DeepSeek—and some argue it's even better. Not only did it cost its developers significantly less to build, but it also delivered outstanding results right from day one. The AI went viral immediately after its release, drawing massive attention.
Why daheck did people love it so much?
In the years following the COVID-19 pandemic, global attitudes toward China were complicated by geopolitical tensions and controversies. However, perspectives are shifting. That was five years ago—the world has moved forward.
DeepSeek's rise to fame is largely due to two key factors: it's free and open-source. This means developers can integrate it into their projects—whether websites, applications, or even video games—without restrictive costs or licensing barriers. The potential? AI-powered NPCs with lifelike intelligence in games, smarter automation tools, and innovative AI-driven applications.
Where can you use it?
You can try it at their official website - chat.deepseek.com.
However, due to overwhelming demand, new user signups are currently paused. If you're tech-savvy, you can also self-host DeepSeek and run it on your own servers.
