Chinese AI app DeepSeek is on top of the App Store, challenging Apple Intelligence, and shaking Wall Street confidence in big tech.

Chinese AI chatbot DeepSeek has displaced OpenAI’s ChatGPT as the most downloaded app on the Apple App store and the market is panicking. Stocks for major AI connected companies like NVIDIA fell on Monday morning following the news.

DeepSeek has reportedly disappeared from Italy's Apple App Store and Google Play Store, with the disappearance starting on Wednesday, January 29, 2025. The block came a day after the country's data watchdog, the Garante, filed a privacy complaint asking for clarification on how the ChatGPT rival handles users' personal data.

Chinese AI company DeepSeek has huge success on the Apple App Store: its AI assistant app is the top free app, beating OpenAI's ChatGPT app.

Unlike some chatbot rivals, the fact that DeepSeek is open source provides it with some level of protection. This means that anyone can run it on their computer and developers can tap into the API in a way that would be hard to restrict. But the DeepSeek app is still at risk.
