Reuters reports that DeepSeek is seeking to maximize its advantage. Last month, the Chinese startup used its artificial intelligence model to drive more than $1 trillion in global stock market sales, helping it cut costs and outperform many Western competitors.
According to three sources close to the company, DeepSeek is now accelerating the release of its R2, the successor to the R1 model released in January. Initially scheduled for early May, R2 is now being pushed back as much as possible.
The company hopes the new model will provide better coding and be able to reason in languages other than English. The acceleration of the R2 release date has not been previously reported.
