ALBAWABA - A recent report by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) stated that the United States (US) will ban DeepSeek, the Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, on government devices.
Trump administration to ban DeepSeek
According to a recent report, the Trump administration is said to be banning DeepSeek on all government devices due to national security concerns.
The report explained that US officials are worried about user data and privacy when using the Chinese chatbot, which led the new administration to propose banning the application on government devices and app stores.
The growing popularity of DeepSeek
Notably, DeepSeek has been experiencing significant growth due to its advanced models, great performance, and low cost.
The new artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot faced significant opposition from the United States upon its launch, as it was released with advanced features that outperform both ChatGPT and Llama.
Previously, the company claimed that its new model outperformed many well-known AI models on the market, which are typically only accessible via API. DeepSeek even surpassed ChatGPT, a generative AI chatbot developed by OpenAI, in US App Store downloads.
The company stated on GitHub, a proprietary developer platform, that its daily profits reached nearly 545%, driven by the performance of its V3 and R1 models. DeepSeek also revealed that the total cost of renting Nvidia H800 chips is around $2 per hour, resulting in a daily operating cost of $87,072.
