Remember DeepSeek? Many Adopt Its AI Models Despite Security Concerns

DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company, is gaining traction among businesses despite security concerns. Their cost-effective AI models rank high in web traffic behind ChatGPT and Gemini, with market share growing to 5.3% in six months. U.S. companies are exploring DeepSeek to reduce AI costs.
