Chinese AI lab DeepSeek has captured global attention after its chatbot app topped the Apple App Store and Google Play charts this week.

Backed by High-Flyer Capital Management, a quantitative hedge fund, DeepSeek spun off from the fund’s AI research lab. Its models, trained on compute-efficient techniques, have analysts questioning whether the U.S. can maintain its lead in AI and if demand for AI chips will continue.

Despite U.S. export restrictions, DeepSeek has adapted by using Nvidia H800 chips to train its latest models, demonstrating resilience and innovation in a rapidly growing AI sector.
