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.

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 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.
