"Prominent figures, including Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, publicly acknowledged DeepSeek's impressive performance. Additionally, U.S. President Donald Trump referred to the development as a "wake-up call" for the American tech industry. " THEGUARDIAN.COM"

"The initial buzz around DeepSeek's launch was amplified by its rapid ascent to the top of the U.S. iOS App Store, surpassing established competitors like ChatGPT. This swift rise drew significant attention from both the media and the tech industry. "

Deepseek itself would not share. But ChatGPT has a view. I am trying to get it to share the timeline. 😀 I find the sudden zero to hero rise fascinating.

But that itself would not have made everyone know about it. They only have 29.4k followers on their GitHub profile. I wonder what else they did including the sequence.

Need to think about how best to use BSky for @skilleduplife.bsky.social @techcelerate.bsky.social @deallite.bsky.social - will give some thought during the break.

We have so many channels - but also have 53,000 skilled volunteers at our disposal except for Techcelerate. 😀

In Manchester. Just focusing my 3 little ventures @techcelerate.bsky.social @deallite.bsky.social and @skilleduplife.bsky.social
