Can DeepSeek AI generate images?
No, It cannot generate images. It is a text-based AI model designed to create text-related tasks such as answering questions, explaining, generating text, and more.
How accurate DeepSeek R1 is?
It may have already conducted tests with third-party agencies and published the results in their product datasheets, white papers, or technical reports. Its accuracy for reasoning, structured reasoning, coding, and mathematical problems, is often slightly better than OpenAI’s o1 model.
Why is Nvidia stock going down?
With the release of DeepSeek, Nvidia stock dropped sharply in January 2025, almost 17% in a single day, causing a $560B loss in market capitalization in a single day. It has raised concerns among various investors that the model could reduce demand for Nvidia’s high-end GPUs because DeepSeek claims that it has used low-end computation chipsets / GPUs to develop it. It works on low-end rather than high-end Chipsets as used in OpenAI / ChatGPT.
How does DeepSeek R1 handle data privacy?
DeepSeek R1 raised serious concerns about data privacy as it is collecting user data, personal information and storing it on servers located in China, which means the Chinese government could potentially access this information; this is outlined in its privacy policy, which states that data is stored in secured servers located in China causing worries about potential data leaks
Will Deepseek be banned in USA ?
According to Fedscoop, DeepSeek is banned on Senate and state government devices. “We simply can’t risk [China] infiltrating the devices of our government officials and jeopardizing our national security.”, a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. The federal government banned it from using public service devices. Similarly, several governments, including Taiwan and Australia, have banned using China’s AI software DeepSeek on official devices.
DeepSeek API – Is there any API available?
API stands for application program interface, it’s a software interface that allows different software components to communicate with each other. Different software exposes themselves to allow other software to interact with them via some programming languages. So the DeepSeek API allows an API format compatible with OpenAI. for Info at it’s API
