Deepseek said on Monday that due to the “large -scale malicious attack” service, it will temporarily restrict user registration, but existing users will be able to log in as usual.

This Chinese artificial intelligence startup has been It caused a lot of sensation In recent weeks, it has become the OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and the fast competitors of other leading artificial intelligence tools.

Earlier on Monday, Deepseek replaced the position of competitors Openai and became the free application with the most downloads in the United States. appleApp Store replaced ChatGPT for Deepseek’s own AI assistant. It helped inspire Sell ​​greatly In global technology stocks.

The company was founded in 2023 and released the R1 model last week. The heated discussions on the company have spread to technical analysts, investors and developers. The backward concerns of the artificial intelligence speculation cycle may be guaranteed. Especially in the era of generating artificial intelligence arms competitions, technology giants and startups are competing to ensure that they will not fall behind in the market. It is expected to exceed $ 1 trillion Increase within ten years.

According to reports, Deepseek developed by an artificial intelligence research department of a Chinese hedge fund in April 2023 to focus on large language models and reach a branch of artificial intelligence (AGI), a branch of artificial intelligence. Or beyond human intelligence, Openai and its competitors say they are quickly catching up.

Last week, the discussion around DeepSeek was particularly spread. At that time, the startup released R1, which was comparable to OPENAI’s O1. It is open source, which means that any artificial intelligence developer can use it and has soared to the top of the app store and app store. Industry rankingsUsers praise their performance and reasoning capabilities.

Despite the United States Containment chip export Come to China three times in three years. For the specific cost of Deepseek R1 or the number of GPUs used, people’s estimates are different. Jefferies analysts estimate that the latest version of “training cost is only $ 5.6 million (assuming the lease cost is $ 2/H800 hours). This is less than 10% of the cost.” YuanFlame. ”

But regardless of the specific figures, the report is agreed that the development cost of the model is only OpenAI, Anthropic, Google And others.

Therefore, the artificial intelligence industry is full of problems, including whether the industry’s increasing astronomical digital financing rounds and a billion dollar valuation are necessary, and whether the foam is about to break.
