DeepSeek has launched a new family of multimodal AI models called Janus Pro, claiming they outperform OpenAI's DALL-E 3 in two major AI evaluation benchmarks. The models, ranging from 1 to 7 billion parameters, are available on Hugging Face and feature a novel autoregressive framework for image analysis and creation. The strongest model, Janus Pro 7B, offers impressive performance despite its size and is considered a strong candidate for future multimodal AI applications. The surge in popularity of DeepSeek's chatbot app has triggered discussions about the competitive landscape in AI, particularly in relation to U.S. tech dominance.
Janus Pro surpasses previous unified model and matches or exceeds the performance of task-specific models. The simplicity, high flexibility, and effectiveness of Janus Pro make it a strong candidate for next-generation unified multimodal models.
DeepSeek's language models, which were trained using compute-efficient techniques, have led many Wall Street analysts - and technologists - to question whether the U.S. can maintain its lead in the AI race.
