DeepSeek is one of the new names you might have seen pop up more frequently in the past few months as an alternative to ChatGPT. Indeed, DeepSeek is an AI chatbot offering features similar to OpenAI’s ChatGPT. For example, DeepSeek’s latest models offer reasoning capabilities similar to ChatGPT o1. You might have seen the open-source model mentioned in reports and social media posts in late 2024 or earlier this year following the release of its big reasoning upgrades.
The more competition in the AI space, the better for the industry. Rivals will pressure each other to come out with newer, better models, that are also hopefully safer.
But if you want to try something other than ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or Meta AI, you should think twice before getting too deep with DeepSeek, which is created and managed by a Chinese company.
There’s no problem using software from China, and TikTok is an example of that. TikTok is also an example of what might happen with Chinese software in the US and Western world. Add the AI factor, and I would be cautious about using it for work or even for personal tasks.
