Latest DeepSeek Update Called R1-0528 Is Matching OpenAI’s o3 & Gemini 2.5 Pro

In late May 2025, Chinese startup DeepSeek quietly rolled out R1-0528, a beefed-up version of its open-source R1 reasoning model. The upgrade boosts parameter count from 671 billion to 685 billion, adds a lightweight distilled variant, and publishes all weights, training recipes and docs under an MIT license on GitHub and Hugging Face. Under the hood, R1-0528 deepens chain-of-thought layers to improve multi-step logic, applies post-training tweaks to curb hallucinations, and slashes latency. On the integration side it introduces JSON outputs, native function calling and simpler system prompts—bringing its performance on math, coding and logic benchmarks within striking distance of OpenAI’s o3 and Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro, all without per-token […]

DeepSeek’s New AI Could Be 97% Cheaper And More Powerful Than GPT-4.5

When DeepSeek dropped its R1 model in January 2025, it quietly detonated a bomb under the AI industry. Built without access to Nvidia’s best GPUs and on a shoestring budget compared to Silicon Valley giants, R1 proved that top-tier AI could come from unexpected places. Investors across the U.S. were caught flat-footed — nearly $600 billion was wiped off the tech markets as the realization set in: price-performance curves could collapse, not just bend. That was just the opening act. Now, DeepSeek is lining up two follow-ups — R2 and V4 — and if even half of the leaks are true, 2025 could be the year AI pricing falls off a cliff. The combination of massive model scale, brutally low prices, and zero […]

DeepSeek-R1: The Open-Source AI That’s Beating Google and OpenAI

Can an open-source AI really outsmart billion-dollar giants? Meet DeepSeek-R1, a groundbreaking model from China that’s turning heads worldwide. It recently scored an astonishing 97.3% on MATH-500, a math benchmark that leaves most competitors in the dust, and hit a 96.3% percentile on Codeforces, putting its programming skills on par with human experts. What’s even more surprising is that DeepSeek-R1 is fully open-source and costs a fraction of traditional models to train and deploy. With its reinforcement learning-based architecture and MIT license, it’s challenging the dominance of proprietary systems like OpenAI’s o1 and Google’s Gemini 2.0. This is more than just another AI release—it’s a revolution in accessibility, affordability, and […]
