your company are paying for them. Some of these are questions we asked
previously, so we can see how our readers' AI use has changed over time.

This month we're interested in other aspects of artificial intelligence.
Have you used DeepSeek, the Chinese AI service that reportedly cost much
less to create than other AI models? If so, what did you think of it? We're
also curious about what other AI services you're using and whether you or
your company are paying for them. Some of these are questions we asked
previously, so we can see how our readers' AI use has changed over time.

And, as we do every month, we're asking your views of 14 big tech names and
the tech economy more broadly. The survey should take less than 5 minutes
to complete.
Have you used Chinese artificial intelligence app DeepSeek?
Yes
