DeepSeek Keeps Rising

DeepSeek’s artificial intelligence models continue to reverberate in its home market of China as well as in the West.

For starters, most of China’s consumer tech giants, which have been developing their own AI, have swallowed their pride and are integrating DeepSeek in their products. Perhaps more importantly, the companies are featuring those integrations as a selling point to consumers, according to my colleagues’ story this morning. 

That would be akin to Meta Platforms using DeepSeek to power chatbots or AI features in Facebook and Instagram—and promoting DeepSeek’s name to users of those apps. 

China’s tech ecosystem is thus turning DeepSeek into a major brand, akin to ChatGPT. No wonder DeepSeek has been considering raising outside capital for the first time.
