DeepSeek rocks US tech industry
Cheaper, more accessible AI program catapults Hangzhou startup to stardom

That path is seen by some as fostering collaboration and experimentation that could lead to faster breakthroughs. Its web-based chat interface and mobile app are free to use.
The strategy contrasts sharply with companies like OpenAI, which keep their models proprietary and charge monthly fees for access.
