DeepSeek reaches No. 1 on US Play Store


Chinese AI lab DeepSeek's Android app has taken the No. 1 spot on the Google Play Store, days after the chatbot app clinched the top spot on the App Store.

Notably, the actual number of installs could be higher as DeepSeek has a label indicating over 5 million downloads on the Play Store. While DeepSeek is ruling the charts for now, it will have to get to 300 million weekly users to overtake OpenAI’s ChatGPT for a long-term lead in chatbots. Startups like Perplexity and Gloo — former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger’s new venture — are already integrating DeepSeek for their usage.
