FULL STORY
======================================================================

DeepSeek is the most popular app in the world right now but the AI chatbot is 
struggling to meet demand with reports of outages and errors from users 
around the globe. 

It's no surprise to see DeepSeek is already down , considering it's the 
number one app on the App Store in the US and UK. The new ChatGPT competitor 
from a Chinese start-up has taken the world by storm thanks to its incredible 
reasoning power without any cost. 

Unfortunately, it appears that DeepSeek has encountered malicious attacks as 
of Monday night in China and we're monitoring the situation to see what 
happens. Read on to stay up-to-date with all the latest DeepSeek outage

Hello, TechRadar's Senior AI Writer John-Anthony Disotto here, and welcome to 
our DeepSeek liveblog. 

DeepSeek, an AI chatbot from a Chinese start-up has exploded in popularity 
over the last few days and is now the most popular app in the US and UK App 
Store on iOS. 

Following this overnight success, the AI tool has experienced issues with 
outages and reports of errors intermittently throughout the day. 

At the time of writing, the latest status update on DeepSeek's website reads: 
"Due to large-scale malicious attacks on DeepSeek's services, we are 
temporarily limiting registrations to ensure continued service. Existing 
users can log in as usual. Thanks for your understanding and support." Is 
DeepSeek even good? 

There's a reason DeepSeek has seen worldwide success almost overnight, that's 
because it's a completely free-to-use app that has reasoning capabilities as 
good, if not better, than OpenAI's ChatGPT o1. 

Earlier today I experimented with DeepSeek and pitted it against ChatGPT's 
reasoning model. You can read all about DeepSeek vs ChatGPT here . What is
