March 25 - The Chinese AI startup just rolled out a major upgrade to its large language model, DeepSeek-V3-0324, putting more pressure on U.S. giants like OpenAI and Anthropic.
The latest version, now available on Hugging Face, shows big improvements in reasoning and coding. Benchmark tests confirm stronger performance across multiple areas, making it a serious contender in the AI race.
DeepSeek has been making waves in the industry. Over the past few months, it has launched models that rival top Western AI systems while keeping operational costs lower.
The company first introduced its V3 model in December, then followed up with the R1 model in January. Now, with this latest upgrade, DeepSeek is pushing even harder to gain ground.
AI competition is increasingly heating up quickly. DeepSeek's aggressive approach could help the company carve out a bigger piece of the market as businesses and developers search for powerful, but cheap models.
