- Similarweb data claim that the use of Depseek doubled to 12 million people worldwide in the two -day space
- The release of the Deepseek R1 model has caused panic in the leaders of the Western AI concerned about its results
- Chatgpt continues to overcome Depseek in the successes of the pure page, but not in growth
In the two -week space, Open and open source Depseek (LLM), Deepseek, has taken the world of AI tools, sending Western developers that Nvidia stock collapsed and has caused Sam Altman to OpenAi accuse Depseek developers to use their use of their models to train their own.
Western the figures are right to be alert, since the new data shared exclusively with Techradar Pro from Similedweb have shown the web version and centralized mobile applications of Deepseek (the nature of the open source means that users can execute several models locally In its own hardware, which similar would have no data for) is seeing considerable growth.
Chatgpt versus deepk
We are going to concentrate at the end of January, since it was when the new advanced Depseek model was launched. Between January 24 and January 26, 2025, daily visits to Deepseek doubled from 6.2 million to 12.4 million.
Blips in the Depseek page traffic arrived the week before the launch of the model, with a pronounced fall of 900,000 page views between January 15 and 18. Since January 19 (the day before the model launch), however, the service saw constant, although inconsistent growth, which culminated in that two -day increase; The latest data we have.
Chatgpt, meanwhile, has seen falls precipitated in the traffic on the page before and during the release period for R1, indicating that he has already become old in the eyes of many with his eye in the space LLM without deep in the fray. The service lost 43.1 million visits between January 15 and 18, while the largest autumn after R1 occurred between January 23 and 25, with a loss of 41.3 million visits.
It is possible that these are natural flows and flows, and that Chatgpt will surely see great losses because it is a larger operation that has been in public consciousness for longer. It is also important to take into account, although Chatgpt has seen these recent falls, losses still amount to four times the amount of views that Depseek has accumulated according to the latest similar data. Chatgpt barely ‘die’; He still achieved a strong peak of 140.6 million visits on January 23, three days after the launch of Deepseek R1.
The main concern, then, is growth; Chatgpt seems to have run out of him; accumulating an average of 126.9 million visits to the pages in the week of the Deepseek model launch, and can only achieve sporadic daily peaks of around 140 million visits in the non -consecutive days in that period. Both figures do not represent growth during the previous months according to the data. A look at the similar web figures available tells me that Chatgpt was obtaining comparable numbers until December 2024 and already in September.
Deepseek may have accumulated an average average of 7.45 million visits in the same period, but that two -day duplication will refer to interested competitors. The questions at stake, which we still do not know the answer, are ‘How long will this growth rate continue’ and ‘it can be deep to become a significant long -term competitor in AI’? While anyone interested in competition in space (specifically a model capable of being locally lodged) could hope about the latter, the fact that Chatgpt is a giant, and will not be an easy feat.
What is Deepseek?
In case you have lost it, Depseek is a Chinese company that has managed million]spent by OpenAI in the training of its latest GPT-4, all while the country supports an embargo of powerful high-end graphics processing units (GPU) of the West.
Deepseek began as a startup in May 2023, with founder Liang Wenfeng, which put his storage of the NVIDIA GPUs to “curiosity” instead of commercial insight in 2021, before the former president of the United States , Joe Biden, introduces export sanctions into semiconductors to China in October 2022.
For SMEs, Depseek R1 is available for free in Github and, licensed by MIT, represents a significant opportunity for low -cost chatbot implementation. It is a powerful model that, unlike chatgpt or co -pilot, can be executed locally and in modest hardware.
Although rumors of data leaks have emerged around the versions of the web and Android application, it is important to keep in mind that executing the model yourself allows you to avoid these concerns.
