今天我们要聊的话题相信大家不会陌生，它就是春节期间火爆全网的AI助手——DeepSeek。

01. How did it suddenly get so popular?

DeepSeek为何突然爆火？

During the Spring Festival, it’s literally everywhere. People are calling it the next big thing in AI. Flora wasn’t really paying attention at first, but once it went viral, she had to download it and give it a try.

She thinks it’s super easy to use, and the answers are really spot-on (准确). DeepSeek刚推出没多久就成了苹果商店最热门的免费应用，单日下载量甚至超过了ChatGPT（It overtook ChatGPT in downloads）！That’s huge! OpenAI has been leading (引领) the AI industry for a while now.

So DeepSeek has excited the Chinese tech industry and caught the attention of users worldwide.

02. What makes it different from other AIs?

这个AI有何特别之处？

Is it just another chatbot? That’s the key question! 要说和其他AI的不同点的话，其实它最大的优势是计算效率高—it runs on lower costs than OpenAI’s models, yet delivers comparable performance (但是性能不相上下). 换句话说，它的“性价比”非常高。Cheaper to develop, yet just as powerful. That’s a game-changer.
