DeepSeek released an updated version of its large language model, DeepSeek-V3-0324, in March 2025. The new version is better at reasoning and coding, and it is a more formidable rival to American AI firms such as and Anthropic. The model can be accessed on platforms such as Hugging Face, which makes it accessible to developers globally.
DeepSeek’s success has also made a negative impact on other Chinese AI startups. Other companies, such as Zhipu, are shifting their focus to selling products using AI to businesses, while others are developing AI applications rather than starting from scratch to create new AI models. This change in strategy indicates how DeepSeek is impacting the AI industry in China.
