DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) company, changed the global AI landscape in January 2025.

DeepSeek's AI models perform as efficiently as their American counterparts.

Some third-party data suggests Chinese models like Kimmy are becoming the most used models globally, though DeepSeek only cracked half a percent adoption in US enterprise.

Within days of DeepSeek's latest version release, developers worldwide began building their own models on top of DeepSeek's technology.

DeepSeek is China's response to OpenAI's ChatGPT-4.

DeepSeek became the most downloaded app on the Apple Store.
