DeepSeek most downloaded app

As of end of Jan 2025, ‘DeepSeek – AI Assistant’ officially dethroned ChatGPT from the number 1 spot of the most-downloaded free mobile applications for both Android and Apple devices! In fact, the new Chinese chatbot star took the first place in the App Store almost as soon as the new year started, and few weeks later it did so on the much larger Google Play store too, undoubtedly making it the most-wanted app right now!

But is it all a marketing trick, or is DeepSeek R1, owned by the High-Flyer startup, really better than OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4o?

Here are the main reasons behind DeepSeek’s current triumph:

  1. DeepSeek tackles ChatGPT’s weaknesses – providing more accurate answers to complex, STEM-related tasks (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).
  2. The new Chinese chatbot’s writing skills excel with greater originality and more human-like style, compared to its rivals.
  3. DeepSeek has been programmed to respond with ethical consideration, unlike older AI assistants.
  4. The High-Flyer startup matches the quality of OpenAI’s code generation functionality, among other core features.
  5. The advanced paid version of DeepSeek is considerably cheaper that ChatGPT’s!
