The AI from the Chinese company DeepSeek is just over a week old, but it’s already causing concern among tech entrepreneurs in the United States.
This is because the free AI tool, which was launched in the US on January 20th, is already pulling millions from the country’s technology market, which had been leading the “AI race,” a crucial topic for the world’s largest globalized countries.
A direct competitor to ChatGPT, DeepSeek’s AI shares many similarities with the OpenAI chatbot, but it brings a more advanced AI model and two new very useful buttons.
For example, the Deep Think function makes the model reflect more deeply on the user’s interaction to craft a more defined response. The DeepSeek-R1 also features a Search button, which allows the chatbot to search for information on the internet to respond to the user.
Meanwhile, ChatGPT is capable of interpreting images and documents and has a personalized “memory.” The OpenAI tool can also create its own images through descriptions (prompts) and also has voice conversation capabilities.
However, it’s important to note that while DeepSeek’s AI is completely free, those who want access to more advanced AI models from ChatGPT, like ChatGPT Plus and ChatGPT Pro, will have to pay $20 and $200, respectively.
