The latest innovation in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) It comes from China and is called DeepSeek. This chatbot, which competes directly with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, has gained notable popularity in recent hours. Many users highlight its capabilities, and some even wonder if it is worth investing in similar tools.
However, it is not all good news.
DeepSeek, the company behind the tool of the same name, says it has suffered a cyberattack. According to the interface itself, these are “large-scale malicious attacks” that have impacted its services. The nature of the incident is still unclear, although there are indications that point to a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack.
The measure the company has taken to address the problem has been to temporarily limit registration of new users. This means that people who want to use the AI chatbot for the first time will likely not be able to register, at least on the first try. DeepSeek itself recommends trying again if you are not successful.
Users who were already registered on the platform should have no problems accessing it. However, in our tests we observed that the chatbot took longer than usual to respond. It should be noted that, in the last few hours, the service has remained inaccessible for some users, as indicated by the DeepSeek status page.
