DeepSeek on Telegram: 32 channels use the name

- None of the 32 channels carries Telegram's verification badge in our data.
- The largest is ChatGPT | DeepSeek โก (@chatgpti) with 558K subscribers. Together the channels hold 884K subscriptions.
- 2 channels share the oldest ID block (Oct 2018 โ Jun 2021); the largest of them is ChatGPT | DeepSeek โก (@chatgpti).
- 5 channels were created before DeepSeek existed (July 2023), so they were renamed later.
- 65% of the channels we can date were created after May 2024.
AI brand names attract channels that resell access, promise a free version or rename themselves after the latest model. The companies behind these products publish their official links on their own websites.
By language, the DeepSeek channels are mostly Russian (8), English (4) and Chinese (2).
How to check a DeepSeek channel
- Look for Telegram's own SCAM or FAKE label next to the channel name. Telegram adds it to channels reported for fraud or impersonation.
- Start from DeepSeek's own website or app and follow its link to Telegram. A channel you reached by searching is the one to doubt.
- Look for the verification badge next to the channel name. Its absence alone proves nothing.
- Check when the channel was created. Copies are usually newer than the channel they copy; the creation date checker dates any channel from its ID.
- Subscribers can be bought. The channel audit compares how many of them actually read the posts with similar channels.
- Never send money, a login code or a seed phrase because a channel told you to.

A channel counts as DeepSeek if its name contains DeepSeek as a word or its username contains it. Groups and adult channels are left out. Channels were observed between April 2026 and August 2026. Verification, ads and reach come from our analyser and are known only for part of the channels, so a missing badge in our data does not mean the channel is unverified. We do not say which channel is official: only DeepSeek can.
