DEEPSEEK PANIC AT THE APP STORE

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

DeepSeek's app shot to #1 on the US App Store recently and is getting around 300,000 global daily downloads. It may be the first non-GPT-based assistant to get mainstream usage in the US. Released on January 11, many users see it as a free version of OpenAI's premium models. This article looks at DeepSeek's rise, why its app is currently topping the charts, DeepSeek's business model, the company's impact on the stock market, and much more. DeepSeek's open source software means that anyone can run the technology on their own computer, so it is unlikely that the US government will be able to block it in any reasonable way.
