DeepSeek Success Story
While it’s probably unlikely that the bill will be passed in its current form or that it would practically be extended to the average internet user searching for buffalo wing recipes, it’s yet another sign that the powers that be have been seriously spooked by the rise of DeepSeek.
Despite safety concerns and the accuracy of its responses being called into question, DeepSeek surged to the top spot on Google’s Play Store and Apple’s App Store after the company released its R1 and V3 models. Its popularity has been fueled by favorable comparisons to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, the fact it takes less resources to use and, of course, its free-to-use price point.
After the DeepSeek news wiped billions of dollars from the value of US-based companies, president Donald Trump called DeepSeek’s success a “wake-up call” for Western companies.
