According to the latest estimates from research company SimilarWeb, the Chinese chat AI platform DeepSeek has rapidly increased its user base within just one week, surpassing Google's Gemini chat AI. On January 31, DeepSeek's website recorded 2.4 million daily visits in the United States, which is 60% higher than Gemini's 1.5 million visits. It is worth noting that OpenAI's ChatGPT remains the industry giant, with a daily visit count of 19.3 million on the same day, about eight times that of DeepSeek.

The user growth of DeepSeek is not coincidental. The platform reached a peak of 4.9 million visits on January 28. As the demand for AI chat tools continues to grow, DeepSeek has clearly found its niche in the market. More notably, the gap between DeepSeek and Gemini is even more pronounced outside the United States. On January 31, DeepSeek's global visits (excluding China) reached 29.2 million, more than three times that of Gemini. This data indicates that DeepSeek is not only popular in the domestic market but is also gradually making its mark on the international stage.
With the rapid development of AI technology, major companies are launching their own chat AI products, leading to increasingly fierce competition. DeepSeek's ability to gain such a large user base in a short time reflects a strong interest and demand from users for emerging products. This not only puts pressure on Google Gemini but also impacts the overall landscape of the chat AI industry.
In terms of user experience, DeepSeek may have won users' favor with its unique features and user-friendly design. As the platform continues to iterate and update, user satisfaction is expected to further increase. Therefore, the future development of DeepSeek is worth watching, particularly in terms of whether it can maintain this growth momentum in competition with other large AI platforms.
