- Deepseek has released a new family of multimodal LLMs
- The new Janus-Pro family is available to developers now
- Registrations for Deepseek are still pausing due to “large malicious attacks”
After depositing chatgpt from its # 1 slot on the iOS App Store, Newcomer Deepseek has announced that it releases a new set of multimodal models that can surpass even Dall-E 3.
The new models are not available for consumers right now, but can be downloaded from the AI development platform that hugs face. The models form part of a family that Deepseek calls Janus-Pro, and we would imagine that image generation could be a new feature that is added to Deepseek Chatbot in the coming weeks.
In a post about KRAM face, Deepseek writes “Janus-Pro exceeds the overall model and matches or exceeds the performance of task-specific models. Simplicity, high flexibility and efficiency of Janus-Pro make it a strong candidate for the next generation’s overall multimodal models. “
Market disorder
The AI industry was already rolling from the release of the Deepseek-R1 Reasoning Model, even before the news that Deepseek is apparently moving into AI image generation next. R1 is of equivalent ability for Openais Chatgpt-O1 LLM, but can be used by developers for a fraction of the price and is free to use through the site and app chatbot. It also runs much cheaper and efficient.
While Openais Sam Altman welcomed the release and posted on X, “It is legitimately refreshing to have a new competitor!”, The market replied to news that it was possible to develop AI much cheaper with the tech share that falls significantly in value . US President Donald Trump called Deepseek “a wakeup call”.
The biggest loss that a technical company has suffered in terms of stock so far seems to be Nvidia, which saw a massive fall of $ 600 billion.
Registrations for Deepseek Pause’s currently. A message on its new service status page says: “Due to large malicious attacks on Deepseeks services, we are temporarily limiting registrations to ensure continued service. Existing users can log in as usual. Thanks for your understanding and support.”
We have already beaten Deepseek against Chatgpt to see what’s best, and concluded that it is an “incredibly promising start to a genuine challenger for Openais Ai crown”. What comes next is someone’s guess.
