DeepSeek’s AI breakthrough challenges Big Tech with a cheaper, efficient model. This may be bad for the incumbents, but good for everybody else.

Chinese tech startup DeepSeek has come roaring into public view shortly after it released a model of its artificial intelligence service that seemingly is on par with U.S.-based competitors like ChatGPT,

However, the consensus is that DeepSeek is superior to ChatGPT for more technical tasks. If you use AI chatbots for logical reasoning, coding, or mathematical equations, you might want to try DeepSeek because you might find its outputs better.

DeepSeek built top-performing AI models using less-advanced chips at what it says is a fraction of the cost of rivals such as OpenAI.

OpenAI has accused Chinese AI start-up DeepSeek of using its proprietary models to train an open-source competitor.
