LOS ANGELES: Chinese tech startup Deepseek said it hit through a cyberattack on Monday that disrupted users’ skill to sign in on the site.
The company, whose artificial intelligence chatbot has sent the tech world into a frenzy, said that it had suffered “large-scale malicious attacks” on its services. Registered users could log in normally, DeepSeek said.
Deepseek began to call more attention to the AI industry last month when he published a new style of AI that, which was boastful, was linked to similar styles of US corporations such as the Chatgpt Openai manufacturer, and was more successful in the chips of Dear Nvidia to shape the formula on a great knowledge of knowledge.
The chatbot became more widely accessible when it appeared on Apple and Google app stores early this year. By Monday, DeepSeek’s AI assistant had become the No. 1 downloaded free app on Apple’s iPhone store.
Jump In DeepSeek’s Popularity Fuels Debate
The jump in popularity fuelled debates over competition between the US and China in developing AI technology. But some US tech industry observers said they were worried about the idea that the Chinese startup has caught up with the American companies at the forefront of generative AI at a fraction of the cost.
Deepseek founded in Hangzhou, China, in 2023. The corporate published its first giant language style in AA later that year.
