DeepSeek, the Chinese AI sensation, announced on Monday that it was suspending new user registrations owing to large-scale hacks on its services.
The business, whose chatbot surpassed OpenAI’s ChatGPT as Apple’s most downloaded app on Monday, cited “large-scale malicious attacks” for disruptions and its inability to accept new users. DeepSeek, built by a start-up in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou, has demonstrated the ability to match the capabilities of AI leaders such as Nvidia.
The low-cost Chinese generative AI venture is expected to have the same capabilities as US enterprises but at a fraction of the cost.
Analysts had long believed that the United States’ critical advantage over China in creating high-powered CPUs, as well as its capacity to block the Asian giant from gaining access to the technology, would give it an advantage in the AI race.
DeepSeek, which is available as an app or on desktop, can do many of the same things as its Western counterparts, like writing music lyrics, assisting with a personal development plan, and even writing a meal dish based on what’s in the fridge. It is, however, vulnerable to the censorship observed in other Chinese-made chatbots, such as Baidu’s Ernie Bot, which limited on how they interact on political topics.
