The Chinese chatbot DeepSeek has taken second place in the world in popularity, surpassing Google Gemini and Character AI. Over the course of a week, the platform's traffic grew by 614%, reaching 49 million daily visits. The success is linked to the launch of the open-source model DeepSeek V3, which was developed for $5.5 million. The platform still lags behind ChatGPT (130 million visits per day), but the growth in its user base led to a 17.8% drop in Nvidia's stock price.

The Chinese chatbot DeepSeek has rapidly risen to become the second most popular in the world, surpassing Google Gemini and Character AI. Over the past week, the platform's traffic surged by 614%, reaching 49 million daily visits.

A month ago, the platform recorded only 300,000 visits per day, but by the end of January, its user base had grown to 33.4 million. This rapid growth alarmed investors and led to a drop in the stock prices of technology companies, including Nvidia, which lost 17.8% of its value. However, DeepSeek still trails behind ChatGPT, whose daily traffic exceeds 130 million visits. The main reason for its success is attributed to the launch of the open-source model DeepSeek V3, which offers functionality comparable to ChatGPT at a cost of just $5.5 million, while being available for local deployment without reliance on cloud services.
