DeepSeek reopens access to its API after three-week pause | TechCrunch
Briefly

DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, has resumed access to its API after a three-week pause due to capacity issues. Customers can now top up credits to use the API, although server resources remain limited during daytime hours. The company gained attention with the launch of its R1 reasoning model, which rivals leading models from OpenAI, prompting OpenAI to rethink its product strategies. Concurrently, in the competitive landscape, Alibaba has announced a preview of its own AI model, QwQ-Max, further intensifying the race in AI development.
DeepSeek, after a three-week service suspension, has resumed API access for customers to top up credits, amidst continued server strain during peak hours.
The release of DeepSeek's R1 reasoning model has challenged OpenAI's dominance, leading the company to consider open-sourcing more tech in response.
