While DeepSeek can point to common benchmark results and Chatbot Arena leaderboard to prove the competitiveness of its model, there's nothing like direct use cases to get a feel for just how useful a new model is.

Deepseek R1 just dropped, and it’s shaking up the AI world in a way we haven’t seen since the launch of ChatGPT. In this video, I’ll break it down in the simplest way possible—especially if you're new to AI.

DeepSeek is a Chinese artificial intelligence provider that develops open-source LLMs. R1, the latest addition to the company’s model lineup, debuted last week. The release of the LLM caused a broad selloff in AI stocks that sent Nvidia Corp.’s shares plummeting 17% on Monday, along with many other technology stocks.
