Is DeepSeek even good?
There’s a reason DeepSeek has seen worldwide success almost overnight, that’s because it’s a completely free-to-use app that has reasoning capabilities as good, if not better, than OpenAI’s ChatGPT o1.
Earlier today I experimented with DeepSeek and pitted it against ChatGPT’s reasoning model. You can read all about DeepSeek vs ChatGPT here.
DeepSeek limits new users
Hello, TechRadar’s Senior AI Writer John-Anthony Disotto here, and welcome to our DeepSeek liveblog.
DeepSeek, an AI chatbot from a Chinese start-up has exploded in popularity over the last few days and is now the most popular app in the US and UK App Store on iOS.
Following this overnight success, the AI tool has experienced issues with outages and reports of errors intermittently throughout the day.
At the time of writing, the latest status update on DeepSeek’s website reads: “Due to large-scale malicious attacks on DeepSeek’s services, we are temporarily limiting registrations to ensure continued service. Existing users can log in as usual. Thanks for your understanding and support.”
