Well, DeepSeq...

This China AI startup has just added an interleaved thinking feature to its chatbot, which is this idea.

And it performs multi-step research with reasoning interspersed.

I love the English terms here that are capturing, again, this looping idea, interspersed throughout the process of the dialogue, assessing information credibility between actions rather than thinking and then generating a finalized response.

And then the other interesting point about DeepSeek is that their monthly active users in December of 2025 is now 132 million.

That's a lot of users in the, and from January, they had 34 million.

So up to 132 from 34.

Reckon that that's, you know, more than four X, right?

Oh, and is with us.

That's so good.

Well, I hope not to disappoint.

Go ahead, Beth.

What's your first one?

No, no.

DeepSeek is a model that you can access through a number of sites, whether Poe or you can just go directly to DeepSeek and use that.

So around the world, 132 million people are monthly active users.

So within a month window.

Compare this to approximately $1 billion using ChatGPT, which is the far and away leader, but DeepSeek is right up there in terms of eight-month interactive users with the second wave crowd of AI models.

OK, I'll do another one, which is interesting.

So.
