DeepSeek releases the R1 model update as the AI competition heats up

DeepSeek Unveils R1 Model Update as AI Race Heats Up

DeepSeek said it has upgraded the R1 AI model, which helped the Chinese startup gain global attention earlier this year. According to a post released by a company representative in an official WeChat group on Wednesday, the minor version trial upgrade of the DeepSeek R1 model has been completed. Users are welcome to test it on the official website, App, and mini-program. The API interface and usage remain unchanged. The Hangzhou-based startup stunned the global tech industry in January this year when it launched the R1 AI model, which outperformed Western competitors on multiple standardized metrics at a cost of only a few million dollars. This triggered a slump in global tech stocks as investors questioned whether leading companies still needed to pour a large amount of money into building AI services.
