Deepseek’s mobile phone, a Chinese artificial intelligence laboratory, has risen to the first place in the world’s application stores this week, bypassing the Chatgpt Automatic program that is based in the United States. On iOS, Deepseek is currently the number 1 free app in the American application store and 51 other countries, according to the mobile phone applications analysis company. Applications.
Deepseek comes in the best plans in the application stores after the great rise in its popularity this week caused by the release of a series of open artificial intelligence models that compete with the leading shows from Openai and Google. However, compared to other leading artificial intelligence models, Deepseek claims that their models have been trained for a small part of the price using much worse artificial intelligence slices. This represents new gains in the efficiency of training in artificial intelligence models, which led to a decrease in the price of NVIDIA share by up to 17 % on Monday, and the rest of the technology industry was placed at maximum alert.
Friday, the DEPSEK mobile app has got only one million downloads through both the application store and Google Play. This number has doubled since Monday morning, reaching 2.6 million downloads for the Deepseek mobile application through both the two main systems.
The app is currently in the list of the top 10 free applications in 111 countries on the application store, and 18 countries on Google Play, according to Appfigors.
In addition, more than 80% of the total downloads of Deepseek’s mobile applications came in the past seven days, according to the Analysis Company. Sensor. During this time frame, Deepseek has seen more than 300% more applications than Perplexity, another pioneer of consumer artificial intelligence.
The Deepseek app moved to the first place in the American application store on Sunday, January 26, after it was ranked 31 just two days ago. Meanwhile, Deepseek is the 14th free app on Google Play, as it quickly climbed from 133th on January 24.
As a result, the number of active users daily in the world and the United States jumped by more than 110% from January 24 to 25 compared to the same period last week.
While China is the largest market for Deepseek applications today, it represents only 23 % of total downloads, according to Sensor Tower. The second and third largest application markets are the United States, which constitutes 15% of the total downloads, and Egypt, which constitute 6% of the total downloads.
Popular DEPSEK mobile application raises questions about the popular artificial intelligence applications trench, such as Chatgpt, Gemini and Perplexity. While hundreds of millions of people using ChatGPT and Gemini every month, Deepseek proves that the consumer artificial intelligence space is still volatile, and new competitors should not be excluded.
However, it should be noted that access to the first position in the application store is not only calculated through the application downloads alone.
The Apple algorithm, although it is secret, is a mixture of many factors, including also the speed of installation and more. This allows applications that quickly install installations to the highest charts, bypassing other applications that may have a greater number of users or installation operations. It will be more clear to know the time that Deepseek keeps its first position over time.
The technology industry still adapts to the technologies that Deepseek used to train its artificial intelligence models, and what this means for the broader artificial intelligence field. In light of the DeepSeek R1 model, pioneering artificial intelligence models may feel clicking to launch better models to prove their dominance, or justify the high price they pay for computing. It is said that Meta has created many “War Chamber” to analyze Deepseek training methods.
The company reported on Monday that the high popularity of Deepseek was suffocated by the “widespread” harmful attacks, forcing it to prevent customers outside China from registering in the application.
