The co-founder of the startup Anthropic, Jack Clark, put it this way: "The potential of AI has just made a breakthrough. The guys from DeepSeek did a great job, boldly changing our world."
The updated DeepSeek artificial intelligence-based mobile assistant model had been downloaded 1.6 million times by January 25 and took the first position in the ranking of iPhone apps in countries such as Australia, Canada, China, Singapore, the United States of America and the United Kingdom, according to information from AppFigures.
