DeepSeek is Now Available on Zapia, Hosted on US Servers
Note: This post was written with the help of DeepSeek, directly from our app. You’re seeing the power of this technology in action.
The past 72 hours have been a whirlwind in the world of AI. DeepSeek, a new AI model developed in China, has gone viral globally. Social media has been flooded with users sharing its incredible capabilities, from solving complex problems to generating creative content.
But amidst all the excitement, we noticed two major concerns surfacing in online discussions:
1. Data privacy and security under Chinese jurisdiction
2. Potential content restrictions due to government policies
With these concerns widely debated on Twitter and other forums, we at Zapia asked ourselves: How can we bring DeepSeek to our users in a secure, reliable, and censorship-free way?

The answer was clear: integrate DeepSeek into our app—but with a critical difference. We’re running the open-source version of DeepSeek on 100% US-hosted infrastructure.
DeepSeek with Maximum Privacy
As our CEO, Juan Pablo Pereira, puts it: "We saw the global hype around DeepSeek, but we also recognized users’ concerns about data security and censorship. That’s why we decided to host DeepSeek on US-based infrastructure, ensuring our users can access it with complete peace of mind and full transparency."This means our 3+ million users can now experience the full power of DeepSeek—without censorship—while keeping their data secure on US servers.
What’s Next?
This update is now live for all Zapia users! To get started, simply update the app, open the side menu, and select DeepSeek from the available models.
P.S.: As a fun metacognitive experiment, we asked DeepSeek (via the Zapia app) to help us write this post. What you just read is the result—a small glimpse into its capabilities and how we’re making AI more accessible and secure for everyone.
