# Deepseek (Chinese alternative to ChatGPT)

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">I had a chance to try out <strong><u>Deepseek</u></strong> (a Chinese alternative to ChatGPT) this weekend.  And while it was very similar to ChatGPT, I was fairly impressed with it as a search engine.  I haven't tried any other functionality.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">https://chat.deepseek.com/</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Has anyone had the chance to try it out?</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true"></p>

&lt;p&gt;Its really very amazing and true competitor of chatgpt. Its advanced AI insights or specialized problem-solving output makes it amazing and leading AI tool. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Good to hear, Kishan! Have you tried any of the coding functionalities? This is what I&#39;ve seen most people raving about.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hi Kishan,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It would be great to find out how much experience you have of it.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hi Bashir! We testing it, locally too. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately right now is literally offline!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Due to large-scale malicious attacks on DeepSeek&#39;s services, registration may be busy. Please wait and try again. Registered users can log in normally. Thank you for your understanding and support.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I will update my response when I have completed a deep use to the point of exposing it, but certainly now, I can affirm with certainty that it is a technology not to be avoided.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just a &quot;quick point&quot; about:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;User Input. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;When you use our Services, we may collect your text or audio input, prompt, uploaded files, feedback, chat history, or other content that you provide to our model and Services.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;https://chat.deepseek.com/downloads/DeepSeek%20Privacy%20Policy.html&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hi Luca,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s crazy what happened yesterday - Deepseek caused chaos on Wall Street for the US Tech stocks and then suffered a major hack.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was planning on using it a lot this week, but my plans (like yours) will have to be &#39;put on hold&#39; for now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let&#39;s see how the story develops - Things are happening so fast.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It conceals sensitive/ provide misleading information related to China/Hong Kong/Taiwan, and other aspects seem fine to use.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;It will be a useful tool for general daily tasks and serves as an affordable alternative to OpenAI.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As someone familiar with the region where this AI was developed, I prefer to avoid sharing any sensitive information during chats.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hello Sammy,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I always had a feeling that the &#39;acid test&#39; would be the geopolitics,  I agree, general inquiries will be great though.  Just stay clear of &#39;sensitive&#39; issues seems to be the course.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bashir, you are the third person I&#39;ve seen mention Deepseek in the last 24 hours. I&#39;m embarrassed to admit I hadn&#39;t heard of it prior to yesterday, but I will definitely be checking it out. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I found this &lt;a href=&quot;https://x.com/morganb/status/1883686162709295541&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;thread&lt;/a&gt; on X really interesting. The author really broke it down in an easy way to understand – even for a layman like me. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hi Brett,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What a crazy series of events - Just today, it has wiped billions of Dollars from US Tech stocks, has also been hacked and found itself the most downloaded App in the US.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here&#39;s the news -&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;https://www.google.co.uk/search?num=10&amp;amp;sca_esv=77c277a80fb1cb60&amp;amp;sxsrf=AHTn8zq2xd7i4iotK4Vnv_WwvUDao3ZMFw:1738019119555&amp;amp;q=deepseek&amp;amp;tbm=nws&amp;amp;source=lnms&amp;amp;fbs=ABzOT_CWdhQLP1FcmU5B0fn3xuWpmDtIGL1r84kuKz6yAcD_ip1RA3L6hbNpnjK_ML6MGeWbogt-eIlB8n69LheDriGoMb9yybidpXlYT1k1gNGukt3w8zyWDcDlA6pHuTeypP2LHmzYKlKG3K_v5M0TD-mqXXqEkAhwRklpdJsnhIkqIB8SgztJITOMM42uS-DugvjZqkdf&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;ved=2ahUKEwjmpO_hgZeLAxX9ZkEAHd9MMSYQ0pQJegQIFhAB&amp;amp;biw=1536&amp;amp;bih=730&amp;amp;dpr=1.25&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I was thinking on a fact. Post from 25 days ago.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How much has changed in &quot;only&quot; 25 days?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Grok3 for example, &quot;Deepseek already seems like an old topic.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s so true. Deepseek was the #1 story for a few days and now we&#39;re onto the next thing and the thing that came after that thing. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have been using it from 27th Jan, and it is amazing,.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wrote a code with chatgpt and it took 3 hours to verify 5k domains, and the same code written with deepseek got me 68K domain verified in 16 minutes&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hello Mehandi,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wow, that is amazing.  You saved almost 2 hours and 45 minutes and over 13 times the output.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please let us know how your future testing/experimenting and benchmark comparisons between them goes? - I&#39;m sure we will be fascinated by future results too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks again for these insights.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I haven&#39;t tried it yet but I&#39;m curious if it replaces the new ChatGPT Canvas that helps you build apps. I think it&#39;s great to have healthy competition in this space especially with a free version!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hi MaryAnn,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m not sure, but hopefully, after the service is reinstated, you can try it then,  Perhaps wait for two to four weeks after the fallout or after things have settled down.&lt;/p&gt;
