DeepSeek says a new R1 update is closing the gap with OpenAI o3 and Gemini 2.5 Pro.

The Chinese AI model that shook up the industry as a more cost-efficient alternative to the ones from OpenAI, Google, and Meta, now has a new update dubbed DeepSeek-R1-0528.

DeepSeek says its latest model has a reduced “hallucination” rate, and that it “has significantly improved its depth of reasoning and inference capabilities by leveraging increased computational resources and introducing algorithmic optimization mechanisms during post-training...overall performance is now approaching that of leading models, such as O3 and Gemini 2.5 Pro.”
