DeepSeek is seeking earlier release of new model that aims to provide improved coding capabilities.
Chinese startup DeepSeek caused a massive sell-off exceeding $1 trillion in global equity markets last month with its cost-effective AI reasoning model, which outperformed many Western competitors.
Now, the Hangzhou-based company is fast-tracking the release of a successor to its R1 model, launched in January, according to three sources familiar with the matter, according to a report.
Originally set for an early May debut, the R2 model is now being pushed for an earlier release, two sources stated without giving precise details. The report added that DeepSeek aims for the new model to enhance coding capabilities and support reasoning in multiple languages beyond English.
