DeepSeek has become the top free app on Apple’s App Store in the US, overtaking ChatGPT. The developers say it “tops the leaderboard among open-source models and rivals the most advanced closed-source models globally.” According to app data research firm Sensor Tower, the artificial intelligence application has grown significantly in popularity among US users since its release on January 10.
Recently the company has limited DeepSeek AI. Before the limitation, it was made available for registration globally. The Chinese AI startup has now put restrictions on it and is allowing only Chinese users to sign up. Currently, to register on it, the user must have a Chinese mobile number.
The company has said that their system is being attacked on a large scale through malicious attacks due to which registration has been limited in India.
Before installing DeepSeek, make sure your computer meets its requirements. Since it does heavy data processing, a high-performance machine will be needed.
