OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called Chinese startup DeepSeek's R1 AI model "impressive" on Monday, but emphasized that OpenAI believes greater computing power was key to their own success.

DeepSeek has released an open version of its 'reasoning' AI model, DeepSeek-R1, that it claims performs as well as OpenAI's o1 on certain benchmarks.

DeepSeek claims its Janus-Pro-7B outperforms existing models such as OpenAI's DALL-E and Stable Diffusion. In a bold move that mirrors its approach with DeepSeek-R1, the company has made Janus-Pro-7B free and open source.

DeepSeek’s AI products have shaken up the American stock market and tech industry—but some experts are questioning how big of a threat the Chinese company really is.

(Reuters) -Chinese startup DeepSeek said on Monday it will temporarily limit registrations due to a cyberattack after the company's AI assistant amassed sudden popularity. The startup earlier in the day was also hit by outages on its website after its AI assistant became the top-rated free application available on Apple's App Store in the United States.

DeepSeek on Monday said it would temporarily limit user registrations “due to large-scale malicious attacks” on its services, though existing users will be able to log in as usual.
