Its open-source nature and user-friendly design have contributed significantly to its widespread acclaim.
Availability In India

The availability of DeepSeek in India started on January 28, 2025. However, due to the security threats and large-scale malicious attacks against its services, it has restricted new user sign-ups currently, especially in mainland China.
