DeepSeek, the Chinese AI upstart that dethroned ChatGPT as the most-downloaded free app on Apple’s App Store, has temporarily closed registrations, citing “large-scale malicious attacks” on its services. For now, access is restricted to Chinese customers, raising eyebrows and speculation. The move comes just as DeepSeek’s meteoric rise has disrupted the global AI landscape, sparking concerns over security and competition. Whether this is retaliation or a genuine hurdle, it’s clear DeepSeek has rattled the tech giants and the AI ecosystem.
