After Xiaohongshu topped the US AppStore due to the Tiktok ban, a Chinese dark horse product once again topped the AppStore in the AI field.
What is quite different is that the value of this ranking is even greater than that of Xiaohongshu. According to media reports , DeepSeek topped the free APP download rankings of Apples App Store in China and the United States, and surpassed ChatGPT, a benchmark product in the field of AI, in the US download rankings. At the same time, the concept tokens related to the Deepseek R 1 model have also been popular due to market attention, and the market value of many tokens has exceeded the threshold of 10 million US dollars.
Odaily Planet Daily will briefly introduce Deepseek products and related concept tokens in this article for readers reference.
Deepseek: A tough challenge to OpenAI, a better and cheaper R1 model than ChatGPT o 1
The origin of all the heat lies in an article officially released by Deepseek 7 days ago.
On January 20, an article titled DeepSeek-R 1 released, performance benchmarked against OpenAI o 1 official version was published, directly challenging the o 1 model of AI giant OpenAI. It gave a detailed introduction to Deepseeks R 1 model, mentioning:
DeepSeek-R 1 uses reinforcement learning technology on a large scale in the post-training stage, which greatly improves the models reasoning ability with only a small amount of labeled data. In tasks such as mathematics, code, and natural language reasoning, its performance is comparable to the official version of OpenAI o 1.
We have made all the DeepSeek-R 1 training technology public in order to promote full communication and innovative collaboration in the technical community. Paper link: https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1/blob/main/DeepSeek_R1.pdf
The DeepSeek-R1 API service is priced at 1 yuan (cache hit) / 4 yuan (cache miss) per million input tokens and 16 yuan per million output tokens.
Simply put, the R1 model launched by Deepseek not only has performance comparable to ChatGPT o 1, but also directly open-sources the relevant training technology. At the same time, its API pricing is even shockingly low.
When many people were still wondering whether Deepseek was boasting, a series of verification results from industry insiders later confirmed that what Deepseek said was true! And the sharp product that can cover both B-end and C-end related needs has also made countless American AI companies and teams exclaim: The wolf is coming!
Jiayi Pan, a PhD candidate at the University of California, Berkeley, and his team have successfully reproduced the key technology aha moment in DeepSeek R 1-Zero at a very low cost. The research shows that even with smaller language models, through reinforcement learning (RL), the model can develop strong self-verification and search capabilities on its own. It is worth noting that the research team showed that the cost of training the model is less than $30. The above-mentioned aha moment is the key technology in DeepSeek R 1-Zero.
According to the introduction of the technology in the DeepSeek-R 1 technical report, through the RL framework, AI may spontaneously develop human-like reasoning capabilities and even surpass the limitations of preset rules. And this will also hopefully provide direction for the development of more autonomous and adaptive AI models, such as dynamically adjusting strategies in complex decision-making (medical diagnosis, algorithm design).
Previously, a Meta employee posted on TeamBlind, an anonymous workplace community in the United States, that due to the excellent performance of DeepSeeks models and extremely low training costs, Metas engineers are frantically analyzing DeepSeek and trying to copy some of its content.
In addition, AI blogger scaling 01 conducted a comparative analysis and found that DeepSeek not only surpassed in performance, but also had a training cost of only $5.58 million for DeepSeek-V3, which has 671 B parameters. In comparison, the computational cost of Metas Llama 3 series models is enough to train DeepSeek-V3 at least 15 times.

It is worth mentioning that Deepseek is backed by Huanfang, a well-known domestic quantitative fund. It had previously stockpiled a large number of high-performance graphics cards due to the needs of quantitative trading. And because it is a financial company, it has not been included in the US sanctions list of technology companies. Ultimately, relying on its extremely strong determination and long-term technical route, it finally achieved the current result of using smaller data volumes to achieve better output models.
Of course, Meme coin, which has always been a barometer of news hotspots, is still ahead of the market.
Deepseek-related concept tokens: market hotspots where technology and Meme are intertwined
The following are Deepseek-related concept tokens that are currently receiving some attention in the market.
Seek: AI concept coin with the same name, market value reported at US$22.7 million
As early as December last year, when Deepseek V3 was released, many people noticed its hype value. Seek was the first AI Meme coin of the same name that borrowed the concept of Deepseek. It was born 20 days ago.
According to GMGN data , its current price is $0.022, and its market value is $20.6 million. Previously, its market value exceeded $33 million, and its 24-hour trading volume was about $54.6 million. It is worth mentioning that Deepseek’s official X platform account had previously stated that Deepseek had not officially released any tokens.
