The DeepSeek app has gained popularity in the USA

At the beginning of 2025, China's artificial intelligence application named DeepSeek-R1 quickly became the most popular free software in the USA, attracting significant attention in Silicon Valley and the stock market. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

The information that this application competes with ChatGPT and was developed at a low cost led to a decrease of 600 billion dollars in Nvidia's market value. DeepSeek is trying to reduce the need for large and expensive infrastructures with the help of small and efficient models.

Some American startups continue to use this application while keeping caution due to security concerns. In the competition in the field of artificial intelligence between China and the USA, DeepSeek has demonstrated new opportunities based on cheap and competitive models, denying that China was previously lagging behind.

At the same time, the US government is concerned about DeepSeek's connections with Chinese military and intelligence organizations. Currently, OpenAI and other major American companies continue to invest in large models and powerful computing infrastructures.

The presentation of GPT-5 and the recovery of Nvidia's market value indicate that significant resources are needed in the field of artificial intelligence. However, DeepSeek is facing difficulties in developing its second-generation model DeepSeek-R2 due to chip shortages and strong competition.

Thus, despite DeepSeek's initial revolutionary impact, the development of artificial intelligence continues to be based on significant resources.
