It is an Chinese llm with the same focus as chatgpt. The main threat is that it claims to be cheaper to create and run. Less hardware needed and so on. Edit: it is also mostly open source so that is also a factor

On the last point, this reason it's 'mostly' open source is because it doesn't hit all the points from the OSI definition. Some news articles get that wrong when talking about DeepSeek, and other supposedly "open source" AIs
