DeepSeek

59 articles decelerating
DeepSeek appears in the tech news corpus on January 23, 2025 and generates 29 articles in its first quarter before fading to 2-7 quarterly mentions as the initial shock subsides. The January 2025 launch week produces the corpus's biggest DeepSeek stories: privacy policy scrutiny showing broad data collection and Chinese server storage (39 articles), Apple's rejection of DeepSeek models for its Alibaba partnership (30 articles), and SemiAnalysis estimates pegging GPU spend "well over $500M" despite low claimed training costs (22 articles). Coverage shifts from efficiency narrative to regulatory containment, with Germany's DPC requesting app store blocks in June and China granting conditional H200 chip approval in January 2026. Related entities reflect geopolitical framing: China (19 articles), Chinese (19), Nvidia (11), and Alibaba (5). The coverage arc suggests DeepSeek's news footprint was a short-term disruption rather than sustained competitive presence, with narrative focus moving to implications for Nvidia and OpenAI rather than DeepSeek's own product trajectory.

DeepSeek has appeared in 59 articles since 2025-01. Coverage peaked in 2026Q2 with 30 articles. Frequently mentioned alongside AI, Chinese, China, Nvidia.
